He got 4 GB Ram :p idiot. & GTA 4 does not depends only on RAM.... the game is Quad Core CPU Utilized, if you have a Quad Core CPU, then you should have no worries while playing it.

Thats why i was afraid of 512 mb 8800gt.I wanted to buy 1gb one.
If i had 1gb 8800gt it would have bottle necked my pc everywhere except GTA4 ALAS!
I was able to do alot more settings on my pc in gta4!

YOu have an excellent rig. The only thing you need to consider about is to get a Better card. e.g GTX260 216sp.
And not all games use more v-ram. 512 is just ok. 1GB is better when you play a game at higher HD resolutions.

8800GT is still the best card out there. Upgrading from this, ONLY to play GTA4 is weired.
And i think it is not a good time to upgrade :) since the DX11 cards are just about to launch.

@Kane, lower the texture settings to medium then you will get enough fps. The medium texture setting is not too bad.

According to the readme file the only thing patch #4 has changed is: "Resource management adjustments based on the operating system detected.” What this means for the PC gamers will probably be revealed soon. I think this patch corrects the detection of hardware. Previously the game detects the processor as Xeon processor in XP I think!!

I am facing a very serious problem with my GTA IV. I think i have quite a good system to play GTA IV on high graphics but still I can't. It gives so many jerks while playing that I can't even control. It stops after 5s and then starts and so on. What should I do???????????

Stops for how long? Is it stuttering or pauses for a few secs? And what settings and res are you playing at? What fps are you getting?

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
