mikey5194 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hi there.I have GTA: VC for pc, i was reading on the case of the game and looked at the system requirements for the game, they were;800 MHz Intel Pentium III128 MB of RAMAnd i dont really need to say all of the rest.My pc is;930 MHz Intel Pentium III128 MB of RAMThey are the minimum system requirements.But, still the game runs slowly, it constantly starts ad stops, and is painfully annoying!!Does anyone have any suggestions???Mikey5194.

PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Recommended Spec fir GTA:VC is P4 or Athlon XP CPU256Mb Ram64Mb video Card GF3/Radeon 8500if you just meet the minimum sys reqs, then you can expect minimum performance. Olny thing i can suggest is update your video drivers to the highest you can and try disabling some of GTAs options ingame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mara- Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Also, in options of the game choose the lowest resolution.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisO Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) Well the ram usage of XP has balooned a lot over the years, between service packs and IE7, etc. I'd say you need at least 256mb today, and 512 would be better.Plus as somebody pointed out, you need the recommended settings for a game, the required settings just means it works, but not well. NEVER play a game if you only have the required setup, it's never good enough. Edited March 2, 2008 by TravisO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mara- Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 How cna i update my RAM? what part of the pc is RAM stored on? You can not update it, you can just upgrade it (to buy it). And RAM is stored on motherboard. Use google for pictures. And as you computer is old, you need to buy SDR SDRAM.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey5194 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Well, i had ano old xp that did not work, so i took the ram out of there, and stuck it in here, now i have 320mb of RAM its not a usual amount because i only have two RAM slots, so i put in a 256mb and then a 64mb, just to give it a little more power. Well, until i get a more powerfull one Now, how do i update my processor? i have a Pentium III, 930 MHZThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mara- Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 You have to see which socket your motherboard have and you need then to buy processor which supports that socket.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 If you have a decent video card that also helps.Try turning off that blur-feature thing that is enabled by default. That helped me a lot iirc when I first got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommo3 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hey mikey5194,You could try running the game with the lowest possible resolution, 640x480 or 800x600.Or disable antivirus, firewall etc before running the game.Maybe increase pagefile size.To be honest, ur system is below recommended. So a new pc would prob be best to run the game properly.Upgrading old parts is usually not worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Also set the "view" dept to "not far".I wonder what Video card you have in that machine but I have seen ATI´s 9250 doing well with a PIII, a 9550 would do best (PCI or AGP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
