Hi.
I can confirm, that there are problems with Radeons. A friend of mine has got a PC with a HD3850.
The game startet the first time he tried, and then only after 40-50 trys.
Has anybody tested the game on an iMac with a Radeon HD 2600?
Please tell me if it works.
Bye

Sandbox games generally need very high spec gaming systems to run well, pretty much everything that can be is used up. Ram for storing mission info, all the models positions and AI, the CPU for running every human and vehicle AI within a radius and the GPU to render it all and make it look lovelyful. All I can suggest is turning the settings and resolution down and make sure you have a lot of Ram.
So dissapointed to hear about these problems. Was looking forward to this game for a while.
Has anyone tested it with the latest iMac w/ 512mb 8800GS? Please let me know because i would like to pick it up sometime today.

Pardon? Please explain why. It doesn't even take a developer to understand the requirements for a sandbox game...
Mmm, but it's just like any previous GTA game. This time I'm hearing rumblings that it's a bad port with ATI cards struggling (maybe because of bad drivers).
Recommended specs on the box are only for a GeForce 6600!
Anyway, we'll see because it should be on the doormat when I get home from work tonight.

Rubbish. 😛
I noticed that the PC version got a realistic score this time around, since Rockstar wasn't shoving money down IGN's throat for an undeserved perfect score. Absolutely ridiculous.

Very much so, and the reason why I won't be giving these overhyping websites any of my moneys 🙂
I have. It IS possible to play it, but i wouldn't recommend it. You have to play it on VERY low settings to make it work, and it looks worse than Vice City when you do...
Ok so i picked it up yesterday and installed it on my iMac (below) with a 512mb geforce 8800gs and it runs at 22.9 FPS from the autoconfigure settings. its playable but doesn't look as good as console version me thinks.
just waiting on a patch from rockstar and for apple to update the bootcamp drivers for the graphics card.

For me, auto configure settings were crap. maybe 15-20 fps at best. If I run it at all low, I get closer to 30 fps but still runs like crap. lol.
yeah. i'll have to play around with settings a little. I only got to play for an hour last night but problems aside, I'm really impressed by this game.
I haven't played the console versions before so this is all new to me. The physics engine rocks, people actually park their cars and open the boot to get their shopping out, people pull phones out of their pockets and start talking and tyres pop when you do burnouts for too long. Just the little things that make it really enjoyable to play.

nVidia 8600M GT 128mb ram on a 2.2 mbp w/ 2 gigs of ram...
... complete crap.
On all low settings, it's BARELY playable, I mean lag out the a**.
It runs like hell on anything that doesn't have two graphics cards I bet... lol.
I'm beyond pissed, this post only shows one one trillionth of how I really feel....

Rockstar does it again. This is rushed port for the holidays. If it's not the crap optimization, it's the bugs. The previous GTA games "eventually" ran fine on PCs, so it's going to be a matter of a waiting for a patch -- which is crap. They should have held off and at least released this beta for testing.
On Shacknews, there's reports that it doesn't support most SLI setups and that for the most part it's capped to 30 fps.

^ Just a shame you're playing it on a console, and when is the PS3's DLC out? 😀
You don't have to wait. Get the Omega Drivers for whatever card and OS you have. They're the latest drivers and come with lots of tweaks and tools.

Doing a quick check on the web, shows that both the PS3 and 360 dip below 30 fps with their lesser settings. What's this about very smooth? ;-)
It runs better and looks better on a PC that only costs a few hundred more than a PS3 -- given the user's system doesn't blow up during installation. 😱
But I have to give the PS3 higher marks than PC, because it wasn't infested with Windows Live!!! 😡
