The official Games for Windows site’s posted recommended specs for the PC version of GTA IV, and looking at them, you may well have a computer able to handle it.
- OS: Windows XP SP2
- Processor: Dual core processor (Intel Pentium D or better)
- RAM: 2GB
- Hard Drive: 18GB free hard disk space
- Video Card: 512MB Direct3D 10 compatible video card or Direct3D 9 card compatible with Shader
- Drive: DVD-ROM dual-layer drive
The new version’s out later this year.

Dual core processor? Good god did they just do a straight port from the PS3 or something? 18gb of space? I’m hoping thats for all the high resolution textures.

You’ve not been able to buy a single core processor for a couple of years, anyone who is going to be playing GTA on PC is easily going to have an X2 or a Pentium-D.
The specs are pretty modest really (I’m assuming the Shader bit is truncated and it wants SM3), 18 gig sounds a lot until you realise that a 1TB drive is less than 80 quid.

the 512meg graphic card is a pretty steep requirement.
