    Your PC has nice setup, with the exception for the video card. 9400 GT is not strong enough for new games. GTA IV is unique in terms of level details: it is determined by the VGA memory available (minimum 256 MB for low, 512 for medium and 1 GB for high). So technically speaking, your VGA memory has more than enough to run GTA IV at medium detail settings, but the biggest hindrance would be the chip - 9400 GT. As your VGA has 1 GB memory, high detail may be possible, but the performance would be noticeably poor. If you do not plan to upgrade your VGA card right now, I suggest you lower the resolution, filtering etc to the most tolerable settings your PC can handle.

    The pics card isn't the main powerful in spite of the shown fact that it's going to run it ok on medium settings. the different components are all wonderful. it somewhat is an extraordinarily stressful sport, my HD5870 could no longer max it out the two - that did no longer ensue until eventually I have been given my GTX580. Edit: The i5 is a extra effective processor than the Phenom. in case you may stretch to getting an HD6870 or an HD5870 then you extremely could have the skill to have the settings extremely intense. even if I pronounced that my HD5870 does no longer max it out it would have a sturdy bypass - no longer basically that yet their expenses have dropped lots because of the fact the HD6000 series enjoying cards hit the marketplace. on the different hand, the NVidia GTX460 and GTX560 are sturdy enjoying cards too.

    Okay....you should be fine with your cpu but i think you'll need a better graphics card.

    It may runs on medium settings but with a low resolution. Try to get a better gpu like nvidia geforce 9800gt or ati radeon hd4850.

    I would go for the radeon hd4850. It is cheaper than the 9800gt but gives you much more power.

  • heey do not worry n do not listen to what others i have same graphics card n almost same configuration n belleive me not only gta 4 but many good games work fine on it but if u r willing 2 buy a new graphics card then go ahead
