Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA 4) Message Board  

if you look at the earlier screen shots/trailers the whole game looked a lot clearer instead of that painting style look it had at release. most likely on the PC with max settings it will look a lot sharper.

they ALWAYS make bonus gfx for pc.. dmc4 had new textures, gow had dx10, ac had dx10 AND new textures... thats a new era of porting

I just got an upgrade, now, not forgetting that it's wholesale, so I cant tell anyone what I paid can I?:
what it comes with:
19" wide screen monitor
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz.
ABIT Fatality FP-I90HD with full 16GB DDR2 RAM, but only 4GB recognisable by XP.
X1900XTX 512MB GDDR3
2 x 1TB HDD = 2TB RAID
1 x 1TB HDD Backup
Sound Card (C-Media, I Think) nothing special.
1K Power Supply
---------------------------------------------------
I'm not going to give a exact price but i will say it's below €2000 if i were to sell it. and i can say that i sell RAM, 2Gig stick = €40, 40x2 = €80, discount €5 €75 total. you can get it cheaper on the Internet if you looked around.

and I don't want any PMs asking if I'll Sell it, the answer is No.

hly s**t thats a cool rig congrats
is it actually possible to have more than 8 gigs of ram? wow
that..umm. fatality thing is a motherboard? gonna check it out
gotta say, you wont have a damn problem about gtaiv

i would so get it if i could

I wont bother getting it, i already have it on Xbox and definatley dont think it's worth buying again.

yes it is a motherboard, and i would not bother getting it if i were you, as some of the previous posts said and as i said XP only recognises 4GB some times the motherboards say they can take 4GB but only take 3.2 - 3.5GB but this takes 16GB, it was a waste of time, i only bought it for bragging rights...
It cost ~€190

i have to say though the best way to get what you want is to build it yourself. what you can do is buy two or three computers take the parts out you want and sell what you dont want.

take, for example, the X1900XTX it would have cost me >€700, but i saw it in another computer in a shop window for €415 so i got it for almost half price. everything else i have came from the wholsaler: RAM, HDD, Sound card Motherboard and Processer. Also just for more bragging rights, i'm upgrading to the ABIT Fatality FP-IN9, yes... it's SLi but i only have one graphics card and that's all i need. It can take a... whoping 32GB RAM which is completly usless, that's why i upgrding to Windows Server Edition 2008 so it can recognise and acknowledge all the money i spend on it.

but all of that is besides the point, if your going to get RAM or graphics card shop around, don't buy a 2GB stick of RAM if it is above $80 that's a rip-off, graphics: do i as i did and look for a cheap computer with the parts you want, or not, whatever you choose.

I almost foregot to ask is that date a provisional or confirmed.

no its confirmed, but nobody know if their gonna delay it.

and aboutyour rig
well i would be so pesimistic about damn.. 16gigs of ram u actually wont need to upgrade your ram for a good 10 years maybe. or darn even more, hwhen u(maybe ) move to vsta, or vienna or watever the hell that new os is, i guess it will support that marvel.
and if that mb-s a sli, u better keep it, cuz u dont know when ur gonna get an nvidia, or two
