What i would like to know is how should i improve my system to be able to play GTA 4 running on the highest settings of everything, my current system setup can get me upto 30FPS which is playable my any means but i really want to get the most out of it.

my system is as follows

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
8GB Dual Channel DDR2 800
ASUS EAH 4650 1GB DDR2
WD Caviar SE 320GB SATA II
Windows 7 RC 64bit

I have only had win 7 for about a week, before that i was running vista ultimate 64bit and it would always lag like crazy for about a minute at the start, i dont get any of that now with win 7

i am running all of the settings on medium and only at 1024x768, which as you can imagine looks pretty darn ugly on a big screen.

so any thoughts on how i could improve my rig to crank my second life upto it's maximum potential?

Hello spellbyte,though i am not a gamer,i know this site (can u run it) may help you decide what to do as far as hardware/settings(tweak)/and software..

Hopefully the gamers will be online soon and can address your inquirey....

thanks for the speedy response vger, i've used a site similar to that before and the best i got was the same reccomended specs that rockstar gave out,

i have just run the test again though and this is the results i got back

Hello spellbyte do you still require help?
