cain. Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hey everybody, I hope I am in the right place to ask: Has anybody installed GTA IV successfully on an iMac running XPSP3 with Bootcamp? I have the 2.8 C2D; Radeon HD2600 Pro and 4 Gig of RAM on my system (Mid 2007 iMac). My problem is that I cannot test it in any way because I am in the US at the moment and the system is in Europe, and I wonder whether I should buy it before going back - I want the US version anyways and it is way cheaper... I do know about the DRM etc. pp. issues and so forth - but will the game run/did anyone test it with this or a similar system? I know I cannot expect top gfx quality with my graphics, but is it playable in terms of fps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnisc Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I have a late 2006 20 inch and bought it the day it came out. It runs terrible. Lots of others are having problems, so I hope the patch fixes it. It is playable, but the biggest problem is buildings and streets not rendering. This is a huge problem during missions that gets you killed a lot. Im about 15% through the game right now. Like I said, Im looking forward to the patch. And the new ati drivers, dont bother they wont install. I got the boot camp drivers, they were done in 1/2008. Didnt really help. One thing that helped big time was making windows desktop resolution the smallest it could go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opes Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I tested it on an iMac with exactly the same specs, and it worked pretty good. I just had to right click on the shortcut, and insert -norestriction. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz_UK Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 And the new ati drivers, dont bother they wont install. I always use the latest cats with Mobility Modder which modifies them to be installed on our mobility cards. http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php This way you have the latest drivers which are bugfixed for any newer games. Give it a go if you feel like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
