    It's official, GTAIV is coming to pc. How well do you guys think P6860fx/P6831fx's will be able to run the game?

    I don't have any doubts in saying that it should run maxed out (w/o AA/AF) @ WUXGA native res.

    yes even with some aa and af

    Gt4 will be much more better game in PC comparing to console and i hope that they will fix those car physics this time, they are simply terrible.

    I think we are safe for the most part, but I can definitely say the stock CPU will be a mild bottleneck.

    I'm actually glad to see it coming to the PC. My PS3 version is horrible to look at at times. The weak AA is quite noticeable.

    How was the port for GTA3 on PC? If it was good, I would assume they would do the same for GTA4.

    graphics aren't the best thing about it being ported. MODSsssssssssssss are the best part! i can't wait i loved it on 360 but i thought the clothing selection was garbage so hopefully there are as many modders for this one as the past GTAs

    All the pc ports of GTA have been great to me plus all the mods that will follow will make this the ultimate . i have it for 360 and beat it and played some multiplayer and enjoyed it but once my gold account expired i didnt bother renewing it cause i never play online enough to really justify paying for gold, so this will be nice and multiplayer will be free .

    well i don't own a 360 or ps3 but when played at a friends house i wasn't that impressed with the graphics.when he played multi it had a sort of fuzzy/noisy look.i know it's not his tv cause the other games we would play look great.

    The multi player graphics are dumbed down on the console versions to reduce lag thats probably why it didnt look so hot. Hopefully they wont be for the pc version or someone will just make a hack so they are not.
