GTA IV - Quad or Core i7 needed!

[Iconyu]

So two extra cores at 3.6ghz gains me 6fps at 1280x1024? Not the most elegant parallel engine we've seen is it? I could probably gain 3fps from turning off my firewall and virus scanner.

I rented GTA on ps3, and it was pretty choppy at times running in 1080P, but not unplayable.

keep in mind it has no real AA and jaggies abound

the pc version will be running at 1680x1050 and above with more AF and AA and other goodies, plus higher res textures no doubt...so yeah for a port it's not bad.

The PS3 and XB360 use internal up-scalers, the picture you thought was 1080P was up scaled from 1120×630 if I remember right.
