Hey guys,
I've been thinking of upgrading my computer to run GTA4.
I've upgraded it before to run COH.
My current system is as follows:
Motherboard: ASUS M2V
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (stock speed of 2Ghz?)
RAM: Kingston 2GB (speed, not sure)
Graphics: Winfast nVidia PX7600GT 256mb internal
I doubt that can run GTA 4 so I'm thinking of upgrading both CPU and graphics card
AMD 6000 $125AUD
I'm really not sure about graphics card; they really confuse me sometimes. I know 8 series has Dx10..what is the 9 series? Apparently 8600GT is a dud, is that true?
I'm currently casually looking at ASUS nVidia 9600GT 512mb $159AUD
I want to spend as little money as possible..and if possible not upgrade at all if the game can run smoothly (>25fps)
I'm afraid to overclock because I've read about data corruption and my dad has his important files on that comp.
What do u guys think? Will the upgraded PC be sufficient to run GTA 4? Are there other options? Do I need to upgrade my motherboard also? (hope not)
Thanks~
