I am buying a super cheap desktop online, and i am wondering if it will play GTA IV decent. I know that this PC does not meet the PC requirements, but i just don't have the cash to buy one that will play GTA IV extremely well. I just want a cheap desktop that might play it even with bad graphics so i can play LCPDFR. Here are the specs.

Intel 2.8 GHz Hyperthreading CPU

LGA775 800FSB 1MB Cache

1 GB DDR2 Ram

40 GB HDD

Windows XP with COA

(I know these specs are horrible, but this is the only thing i can afford, I know they don't meet the requirments, but will it play semi-decent and can I make it playable somehow.)

No way, bro. That might not even run GTA San Andreas.

This.

This wouldn't even run Pacman. The best thing you could do is using it as a microwave or a book rack.

Ok, what about this one

Operating system Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Processor 3 GHz AMD Athlon II x2 250 RAM 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz Storage 1000 GB HDD 7200 RPM Optical drive DVD R/W

Depending on which GPU it has (you don't specify it) it might be able to run GTA IV on lowest settings.

Is this PC able to Handle GTA IV Semi-Decent

You could have posted this in your previous thread as an update.

How much RAM does it have and what's the video card?

You have to realise that GTA IV is one of the hardest CPU demanding games out there. Like Break said, you might be able to run it on lowest settings with a proper GPU. However, even if you had a monster GPU, it would be restrained by your weak CPU and you still wouldn't be able to play it at maxed settings.

And even if you could run it on lowest settings, adding mods or scripts to the game would restrain your CPU even further. That way, it won't be playable at all.

Don't buy anything you would regret would be my advice.

Merged the Threads.

In the future please use already exisiting topics you made yourself, instead of creating new.; if the topic is the same

To give you an idea of minimum specifications here is my computer's specifications:

Intel Core2 Duo P7450 2.13GHz

3GB DDR2 Dual Channel 333MHz

Nvidia GeForce 9200M GE 529MHz 256MB

That is just able to run GTA IV on it's lowest settings.

Try ArmaA2 for a demanding CPU game.

Absolutely right. I myself own operation arrowhead :thumbsup:

My spec's are 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, AMD SAPPHIRE RADEON 6790, i can play on HIGH setting but not maxed out.

I know that this PC does not meet the PC requirements

You just answered your own question.
