and my gpu is more than enough.
phenom 8450 and a 9800 gtx+. I wish I had a better cpu, but its getting the job done.
Get a Intel man...
the phenom is working, I'm not upgrading without a real reason. Maybe my next rig, I was able to put this one together including os for $500.
the graphics cards is really weird:

somethings not right
Either way the only setting my PC falls down on is the GPU, I am still trudging along with a 8800gts (old-style) 320mb version. I may upgrade later but I am still expecting to get better graphics on my 8800gts than I did on the xbox.
GTA 4 with no jaggies I CANT WAIT!
Big city.
Lots of shaders.
Needs bandwidth
a.i traffic
I don't think an 8600gt is enough.
I for one would say it was more like an 8-8.5
there is no way it was a perfect game, multiplayer was naff, single player story was boring, missions were too repetetive, the fun factor was gone, driving was rubbish, etc. etc.
that being said, it should only be an 8 at most. 10/10, laff.
18gb! Holy Shi*
For example, Far Cry 2 was like 3.16GB installed while the HDD requirements were 12GB of free space.
how can the 3870 be compared with the 8600?
I think these specs are a bit unclear and Rockstar needs to clarify things a little more.
8600gt is pure garbage. Gtx 280ftw!
