Here is the culprit. well in my opinion..

BUILT IN 1 GB VGA

[margallar]

yar built in will always be crappy. invest in something nice like a 9500gt minimum.

[loveshakeh]

i have same specs of you just the hdd is 320gb and i have got 9500gt 1gb graphics card gta 4 works fine with good detail

[madtorque]

may be it is because of the glitch in the compress file u have downloaded. What if the package is not complete and missing these models. In my suggestion buy 50 PKR DVD of it and then install, i am sure 1GB VGA would handle it pretty good in medium to low details...

[ahm13]

i dont know why people look at memory when they are looking at graphics card..

memory does matter but not that much, what important is how many pixel shader and processing cores you have in your graphics cars.

i ll give u an example a 320mb 8800gts will crush a 9500gt 1gb in gaming performance..

9500gt is no way near 8800gts.

if you need to play games on computer you need graphics card period, and minimum a graphics card that costs more than 8000rs or 100$...

even 9500gt struggles on gta 4

Built in VGA's are generally not meant for gaming..

If u want a smooth game, then invest in good VGA card..

for the time being, try running it using lowest details..

GTA 4 is a really demanding game..

hehhehe.. No bro.. Keep requesting ur homies and give them strong arguments like say them that u want to run a heavy software for learning purposes and for that U need a really strong system.. Like this etc :D:D:D

Keep reminding them of this issue throughout the day many times so that it gets embedded in their sub conscious and one day U will see how well it works

Here is the culprit. well in my opinion..

+1

1GB hell even 4GB builtin VGA is absolutely nothing infront of a basic
256MB 8600GT

and aside from the graphics GTA4 is a processor intensive game aswell

i remember the PC version was delayed 1 month to correspond with the release of Core i7 as a marketing gimmick

keep 1 thing in mind always when buy a gaming PC
the Cost of ur 3D Card should much higher than the Cost of your Processor

i have seen ppl Pair 25k Rs Core i7s with 2k Rs outdated 3d Cards :S

Rightly said there..

At least we both agree on something

i ve been using the theory cost of graphics card=cost of cpu...
thats why i have 6850 179$ with X6 (1055t) 179$ lol

lol thats over doing it
ur GPU is trailing behind ur CPU

u can put up 6870s in CrossFire and still the Processor wont be a bottleneck xD

sir check the resolution in the video its only 1024x768 which is nothing actually
and its lagging all over the place D:

Sub HD 1280x720 which is usually on 17inch LCDs
19inch LCDs have 1440x900
Full HD is 1920X1080

currently if u want lag free gaming at 1280x720 resolution u need 9800GT atleast
GTS450 is the recommended mid range card though

GTX460/HD5850 for 1440X900 to 1920X1080 range

Get yourself a graphic card..... Builtin VGA doesnot works in gaming.... The same problem I used to have but after I installed Graphic card problem was solved.... I am using XFX GT220 1 gb memory bought it for Rs 7000 1 year ago

If u can afford expensive graphic card than go for GTS 250 with 1 Gb memory cost u arround 13000 or GTX 460 1 gb memory will cost u around 17000.... They worth buying
But remember Always buy 1 gb + memory graphic card and of XFX or NVIDIA or ATI don't go for any other company.....

After Graphic card installation u will be problem fre......
