Which EVGA card do you have in mind? The best you could go for is probably the EVGA SSC, which is the latest version of the 970 released a couple of months ago if I recall correctly.

Budget?

Apply thermal paste to the cpu for better cooling :p

not politics -puts on shades- but biznes

Yeah I've heard Win8 doesn't like GTA 4, and vice versa. There is a fix I believe somewhere on the internet. I'll get back to you if and when I find it.

It really comes down to preference. I am not too sure about pricing, but the best "bang for buck" at your sort of budget would be the R7 260X / 265 and the R9 270 or the GTX 750 / Ti. All are excellent cards! Aren't 1TB drives similar in prices to the 500GB ones? At least in the UK there is a very little difference between 500 and 1000GB drives.

Or you could go with the FX-8320, which is pretty much the same thing as the 8350 but the clock is lower (8350 runs at 4GHz right out of the box, where as the 8320 runs at 3.5GHz out of the box) so if you get the 8320 you'll save some money. Since the clock is lower you'll be getting less heat out of it, so the PC itself should run cooler if it had the 8320 and not the 8350. As for the graphics card, why not go with AMD? You'll save yourself a lot of money. If someone can run GTA 4 with mods and an ENB using a 6670, surely something like an R9 270 or the 270x would do just fine.

^^since vauxhall won that contract thing... this is what I'll be seeing for a long time or something? idk. nothing special tbh, just standard battenburg..

Was about to say that ^.^ Anyhow, I hope it's Vice City... I've played lots of VC on PC and my PS2 (although I will probably get around to doing that on my pc in the summer :D) because it just... seems cool. I hope they somehow include at least a reference to Vercetti... like how he had his "mob" or "family" in VC but it fell apart few years ago or something like that. Working for him or something would be odd, since GTA 4, 5 and soon to be 6 are all new generation... so they're all different. Andddd watching this while watching the world cup ITA v ENG match makes it hard to concentrate ;( lol

Thanks guys, have that +1 rep!

Hi guys, hoping this is the right section for this. So I have installed a really cool FBI Tahoe by cj24 I believe, and there's a template for it. I'm wondering how to make a texture? I know how to actually draw or whatever... what I don't understand is how to convert it into an actual texture (what was it... .wtd file or something?) so it can be used in-game. Any help is, well, helpful. Thanks

You'll be unable to log into RGSC/GTA IV to play online due to the ammount of people trying to get on due to the sale, as a lot of people bought the game. This would only get sorted by Rockstar updating the RGSC client for GTA IV to support larger ammounts of people which is very unlikely due to GTA V. Your best bet is to wait after the 17th if it still happens just wait it gets sorted out and make sure to download latest version of RGSC through their webiste, cba to pull out the link. A quick google will do the trick. Probably won't fix anything though.

Last time I played, my partner eqquiped the same weapons as me. This is something similar but I agree that we should be able to choose what they carry. Or maybe make it preset "classes", like NOOSE will get the Carbine and the normal cops get a glock and shotgun or something?

I'm gonna try to get a build for under $700 on PCPartPicker for you but then again it won't come with monitor, keyboard or mouse so you're gonna buy those with your own moneys. I'll edit in the link once I'm done. EDIT: Here is the link This isn't very powerful overral but will do for GTA IV with an ENB. I have a similar build, but sadly it's broken for some reason and I have to resort to a very crappy laptop which I'm writing this on. qq. And since the 7770 can run GTA 4 + ENB at 1080p at highest settings I think you're set If you need any help contact me on LCPDFR.com or elsewhere

I once found a config line as to what is dispatched. Imma go try and look for it but since I have .95 and not 1.0 installed it might take some time

I agree. 0.95 was more stable. The only bug (so far) is when I crash when I go to go off duty. That doesn't bother me at all, it saves me time really.

Upgrade to 8GB of 1600MHz RAM preferrably with two modules. If your motherboard supports dual-channel then this will increase performance. As for a card, a GTX 660 Ti will do just fine. For better performance I recommend the GTX 760. There's a GTX 760 2GB for $250 that comes with free Splinter Cell Blacklist and AC4.

I actually thought the first screenshot was real life lol but then i was like *gigantik facepalm* Good job, this is the perfect thing for me!

it's back up online for me but it sometimes goes into error messages after 5 mins for some reason still

Valve/Steam decided to give some of it's players a Christmas present aka L4D2 for absolutely free. At the moment, it is unknown how long it'll be free for. Grab it as soon as possible.

I got £20 yay!!

Or you could just upgrade to 8.1? See if you like 8.1- I believe anyone that owned Win8 can upgrade to 8.1 for free until sometime around Spring 2014 (i believe)
