Does GTA IV works with a pc which have

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz e8400 (i would overclock to 3.6 or higher)
RAM 4gb DD2
GFX Card: GTS 450, or HD6570
Windows XP/7

I heard many people saying that it doesnt work good on dual cores. and works great on quads only, like c2q, i5, i7 etc.

But on the other hand i see many videos on youtube running this game on good settings. i just wanna run it on medium settings. Will it run comfortably on c2d or will it lag?

I have viewed almost every thread related to GTA IV on this forum but i couldt find right answer, everyone has his own views.

I need convincing answers, and benchmarks if possible.

sorry for bad english.
 
You exceed the minimum requirements so you shouldn't have a problem. Both GPUs will offer similar performance providing they both have 2GB RAM.

My 2500k (4.4Ghz), HD 7850 and 8GB RAM can run GTA IV at the highest settings and average 63 FPS. I'd imagine that at medium settings you'd be good for an average of 35 FPS. I've posted a link to some gameplay footage of GTA IV played on a PC with the same spec as yours, but there's no guarantee that you'll see the same result. It will give you a good idea of what to expect though.
