GTA IV on MacBook Pro?

[Steve.P.JobsFan]

This sounds crazy, I know.

I'm replacing my 2007 20" 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo iMac, with a MacBook Pro.

Probably refurb, but maybe new if the new MBP's are the same price.

If I have the money (I'm putting it on a Barclaycard for financing), I want to get the 1GB card.

I want to be able to play Portal, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, GTA San Andreas, and the resource-hog known as GTA IV. I know the MBP is NOT meant to play GTA IV, but can I? Of course, I'd be installing Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit.

It should work fine with the 1GB card.

I have never faced any problems playing Portal, Portal 2, Vice City, COD 4, GTA 3 on my config found in my signature.

If you want to play GTA 4, get the GPU with 1gb VRAM. For the rest of the games you mentioned, 256 mb VRAM is good enough. ( GTA 4 has poor coding. The 330m can even run Crysis 1 on high with no problems )

Yep you can play with high settings, you just have to adjust one little thing (concerning vsync) to remove stutters.

How else are you going to play GTA4? Depending on which MBP you have, it will be worth it if you want to play the game.

I tried with the 13" cMbp, bootcamp ofc. I got 20~ frames per second. You should be good with the 1gb card.
