Gta3 question

**cooliscool** · August 20th, 2002

If i were to run in low detail at low res and bitrate, would i be able to run gta3 good enough to be playable? my full specs are:

k6-2 500@600
xtasy geforce4 mx 420 pci, 64mb
160mb pc-100 sdr
win98se
aureal au8820 audio
via mvp4 motherboard

all tweaked to the max. the reson i ask is because i had the game from a friend before, when i only had an 8mb gfx card, now i have a 64mb mid-range card, and the screenshots are SOOOOOOOOOOO tempting.

I think you'd be able to run it fine. From what I've noticed, it seems to be much more GFX card dependant than processor dependant. Cause I played on my system which has very good processor speed and RAM but a semi-crappy vid card - Athlon XP 1500+ @ 1.5 ghz, 512 MB DDR RAM, GeForce256 32MB - and it was pretty choppy even in lower resolutions and bitrates, with no FSAA enabled...
Where in contrast on my roommates computer - which is an Athlon Duron 900mHz, with 256 MB RAM, but a GeForce3 Ti500, it ran smoothly and beautifully in higher bitrate, resolution, and with 4xFSAA enabled

Yours should probably work, since u have a geforce 4.

I'm not sure it'll run smoothly. The minimum cpu requirement for GTA3 is an Atlon or PIII.

I'm sure it should run good.

I ran GTA3 just fine with a celeron 600 and a Geforce3 Ti200. My video card is a little better, but not much.

ok i got the game and yes, at 640x480x32 it runs fine, when lots of action it drops, but not much at all, barely noticable. thanks guys.
