How many GHz for the recommended processor?

But yeah, as we all expected...

[Cran.]

It means any Pentium 4 processor or AMD Athlon XP processor. Nice to see these finally confirmed

[Opius]

Oooh! Minimum DirectX 9? Does that mean we get awesome DX9 shader support?

[Storm.]

Looking good, both my brother's and my PC meet the requirements so I can see many hours being dedicated to the PC game.

Whoa, thats confusing. I don't know why I came in here since I own Xbox but all i know is that xbox is easier. Eject it, Stick it, Play it...vice 'n' easy.

W000t

im so glad that my PC is way way better than i need to play, not that I had any doubts but i thought it would only be way better not way way better
AMD athlon xp 2500+
Asus A7n8x mobo
768MB DDR3200 RAM
GeForce 6600GT *128MB**AGP*
200GB sata150 7200RPM
DVD-ROM Drive 16x
Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 - exactly the same as the PS2 controller, hope SA had vibration support
only thing bringin me down is my stereo creative audio card, and i have onboard 5.1 is that not silly, i keep the card cos it has a good midi synthisizer, daft eh?

unlucky for folks who have not passed the bar, will u be buying new parts if you need them now or will you just not buy SA (u may have it on ps2 already)

[Menzothabest]

F*ck, I have a Geforce 2 MX and it says Geforce 3.. :S Vice City worked at all settings high!

Will it work?

[murph_fan51]

If VC worked fine, then probably yeah. Is it 64MB?

[shada]

GeForce 3 is not a DX9 card.
It is like a Radeom 8500 a DX8.0 or 8.1

Eehm, where can you see that? Everything works fine with my PC, except for this I think

[salibaba]

if you need to see how much RAM is on your graphics card then
right click on desktop>properties>settings>advanced>adapter
its under memory size

[red_porshe]

THats really good. I think my pc would run that fine.

Yes, it is 64 Its a Geforce 2 MX/MX 400 64 MB.. So u think it will work?

[salibaba]

It will run but IMO it wont run very well because if i remember its only a 2x card. You will need to keep the settings low 800x600x32 or 800x600x16, and always keep AA and AF off i even had to turn those off with a geforce 4 so it is a definate that you must do it with yours. Hope this helps.
Oh and it will also matter about your other spec with your PC that will depend how well it will run.

Maybe. They said something about better shadows at gtasanandreas.net Graphics look f*cking amazing for GTA from what i've seen.

@Opie

I doubt it's shadows that would cause that. Shadows usually aren't implemented in terms of shaders.

It's probably things like the heat shimmering effect or the speed blurring effect...

[EmSixTeen]

4.7 gigs is f*cking huge.

[DigitalD]

4.7GB requirement also basically confirms that the game will be on a DVD-5 single layer disc as opposed to a DVD-9 double layer disc.
