barely, i can play the game on my quadcore with an HD 4850 and barely getting a stable 25 fps during gameplay. the benchmark give me better fps score.

(played at 1600x1050 and all high-higher settings, and the bars set to 40)

Maybe!!!You might be able to play far cry 2 on very low settings and low resolution. Download Directx from the microsoft download center, and physix from the nvidia website. Then you should be able to play the game. I only had a nvidia 7100 chipset and was able to play it on the lowest settings and resolution, but i have 4gb ram, 2.5ghz dual core, who knows.
If you upgrade your ram and processor you will definetly be able to play. Ram I played that game on the same settings with 512mb ram.

There are many other things that matter when buying ram such as speed, not just size> processor, make sure that your motherboard can support the fsb speed on the processor, and also the socket type( for example 775, 1366, etc.) so that the processor will fit, and processor type, such as core 2 duo, Pentium d, etc. useful information if you are looking to upgrade your computer. These are probably not the only things that you need to worry about when upgrading your computer, but what I know that you must check before upgrading your computer.

bottom line: you will not be able to play it without a sweet computer. translate that however you will.

heres a good concensus: if you cannot play crysis, you cannot play gta4.

I would say that you will be hard pressed to play GTA 4 with that hardware. You didn't mention what kind of CPU you have, but your videocard is not really meant for gaming and would struggle to put up playable frame rates for GTA 4.

^ Good changes...and as for the GPU, there is only 25MHz overclock difference between the XXX edition and the standard one...So you can go with the standard one and put the money on better RAM... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Comb [...] mbo.314710 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Comb [...] mbo.314715 Or get this RAM - GSKillz Ripjaws Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231304 Or even this one - Cheaper and surely is of better quality...
