GTA 4 for under £4 = WIN.

Get it ASAP if you haven't already.

[Gran Touring]

That is an absurdly low price for GTAIV. Just make sure your computer can run it...

[electricshadow]

What caused GTA IV not being able to run that well even on high end computers?

[Letros]

You need a triple core or quad core to run it very well. It's highly CPU intensive.

[Darkfocus]

cpu threading was messed resulting in poor performance on anything short of a quad core. I think its been patched though

[Charmers]

Just a heads up to anyone if they do get it, DO NOT UPDATE IT TO THE LATEST PATCH. The latest patch by good ole Rockstar Toronto has screwed GTA 4 up so much for a large number of users it isn't even funny.

Most people have come to the consensus that patch 1.0.3.0 or 1.0.4.0 are the best patches for this game, you will save yourself a lot of headaches if you avoid patch 1.0.0.4 and 1.0.6.0 (yep they couldn't even get the version numbering right).
