Post by: Dark Angel on June 09, 2010, 02:19:20 AM
Hello.

I want to buy a laptop/PC for gaming in GTA IV with good FPS/ videoediting.

I think about this laptop - Sony Vaio VPC-EB1S1R/WI

Can I ask you, what you think about it?

That sony laptop looks expensive... and its sony so it will be.
You could get a better desktop for a few hundred less than that laptop.
You should get ok fps on IV but dont expect to run on high settings.

LeaR and Lilj, I think that I'll use around 1 100$, not more.

For that amount of money you could get a desktop that would pwn!

What type of games would you like to be able to run on it ?

You could get a great desktop for about $800.

Cookie, I understand. But there is the possibility that I simply won't can put it. I am moving to live in another town and just can't say exactly. So I am looking for a possible laptop - just in case ^_^.

But I hope that I can buy a PC.

I don't play so often..
Well, GTA IV/SA, Track Mania, Test Drive, Blur and some quests, but they don't need in good configurations.

There is no need to spend that much money then.
The only reason you would be paying $1000+ is just so you can play IV.

Spending about $1000 on a laptop should be enough to play IV.
Spending $700-$800 on a desktop would still be much better though.

I dont think its worth getting a laptop just because you will be moving house. You can just as easily take a desktop with you when your moving house.

Cookie, thank you. And yet, can you offer me a good configuration for playing GTA IV on high settings with good FPS? I apologize for my boring ^^"..

Read that article and come up with what you want and then post your idea here. With your budget I'd save a few dollars and go for the fourth option.

Don't make your decision by what is said here on GTAS, you should go and ask on a forum specified to PC hardware.

:ajaja:



For a PC i would recommend:

CPU: i5 750
GPU: ATI 5770
PSU: 600w
RAM: 4GB 1600MHz Duel Channel

Good parts and should be under your budget.
