Well just received GTA IV this morning and finally got installation completed (must have taken at least an hour in between signing up to Rockstar Social Club, Windows Live, installing files, entering serial, online activation etc.)
Fired up only to see blank screen with it defaulting to a vsync that my monitor did not support. Not sure what it was, but used the safe mode from the start menu to finally get in. Went to change the graphics options only to find I could barely ramp up anything before the included graphics card memory usage indicator went over the 320MB my 8800 GTS has. It wouldn't even accept medium texture quality!
So, definitely time for an upgrade...
I'm thinking of a 4870 - the big question is 512MB or 1GB. I would be very interested to hear what settings can be reached before the 512MB is filled?
