After the fourth part of Grand Theft Auto was released, many people wondered when they started GTA 4 - the system requirements paid off or not. The graphics in the game are really quite beautiful and surpasses most of the games of that time, but given that even the minimum requirements are far from suitable for all computers, they seem somewhat overpriced.
What is GTA IV?
Of course, looking at the system requirements in GTA-4, the players faced a dilemma: quit waiting for a new game and forget about it, or buy a new computer that would amount to a considerable amount. The choice is quite complicated, because buying a new computer is a serious step.
If you are going to upgrade your car for a long time, then you definitely should finally do it for the sake of GTA-4. The system requirements of the game fully correspond to the quality of its execution. Perfect graphics, beautiful effects, a storyline and complete freedom of action are the main advantages that distinguish this game.
What are the advantages of this game?
The full name of Grand Theft Auto fully reflects the essence of this game. We have to become a criminal who will go the hard way from a simple “six” to the boss of an entire group. In almost every new part, we are offered a similar plot, and the only difference is only our allies and certain elements of the storyline. The rest is the same: robberies, contract killings, smuggling, and the like.
However, the fans of the series are not captured by the plot, but by the complete freedom of action in the vast world that GTA 4 gives us. The system requirements of each new part are quite high, but for true fans of the game this is just another reason to update your computer. Everyone wants to feel like a particularly dangerous criminal who is avoiding the chase of helicopters, the army and a number of military equipment, destroying everything in their path, and to feel it with better graphics and special effects.
Is the game worth it?
For those who previously played only in San Andreas, GTA IV seems to be just the ideal of expectations, because it involves graphics that are close to modern standards, as well as amazing special effects comparable to Hollywood blockbusters. Add to this the fact that the game has a lot of new features compared to the previous parts, and you get a great opportunity to update your computer even to the maximum that GTA-4 puts forward system requirements.
For those who first got acquainted with only the fifth part of the series, the fourth is interesting mainly only as an analogue of what we have already managed to feel. Not such a big world, but the same attractive graphics, and more importantly - a completely new plot, which for many people is decisive.
Moreover, if you were able to play GTA V, then in comparison with it in "GTA-4" system requirements are minimal. In other words, in this case you don’t even have to update your computer, but you can just install a new game and start it without any problems.
After all, the minimum requirements are available to almost everyone:
- Dual core processor with a frequency of 1.8 to 2.4 Hz.
- RAM: 1.5 GB.
- GeForce 7900 or Radeon X1900 with 256 MB memory.
The recommended requirements are not much higher, the main thing is to have from 2 GB of RAM and a more modern video card with a memory of at least 512 MB.
