Looking to get back into gaming

I can't say I ever really had an issue, it always ran worse than other games, but I had at least 45+ fps, was quite smooth on:

 

AMD Phenom XII 955 Black @3.2 Ghz

2x ATI Radeon HD 6870s

8GB DDR3 1333 RAM

1TB HDD @ 7200rpm

I think it was more a driver issue (Win 7 x64) as the old drivers ran it OK but then hardly any new games would run nicely such as DiRT, Skyrim, BF3 e.t.c... so it was either play GTA IV on the old drivers and nothing else, or not GTA IV at all, but all the new games work luckily I have it on PS3 too, but I wanted to mod it and make a video, but couldn't because of the drivers!

 

I'll think twice before using a nvidia card again, but to be fair I think it's more to do with poor optimisation by Rockstar than nvidias drivers.

I'm running Win 7 x64 too, no issues.. it could be the Nvidia drivers playing up, I haven't used an Nvidia card in about 4 years, so not too sure

 

I had it on Xbox, but when the full collection is on steam for a fiver, you're mad to say no!

True that, there are SO many good mods for GTA IV as well, there's countless hours of replay-value! However I wouldn't buy the steam edition if I was modding, but £5 is a true bargain for most people

Good news! The PC version of GTA V is going to be released a few months after the console releases.
