It works out of the box ...
I didn't need to change any settings it automatically started in TripleHead and I see no big TripleHead issues at this time ... 8)

It's a bit system hungry ..
This is the maximum settings it would allow me ...
View Distance is what eats the video memory and on my system it wouldn't allow me to go any higher than 26% ...
It doesn't look bad although there is no option for antialiasing and forcing it in the Nvidia control panel doesn't work for me.
It is just about playable with those settings so AA would probably kill it off anyway.

I cropped this screen down ... there was a lot of black ...

You have a bad ass? that sounds painful.....

Yeah I have seen a few reviews pointing out that GTA4 is the new Crysis when it comes to hardware requirements.....and they can play it on a 360 PoS!

Both the PS3 and the 360 versions have horrible pop-in items/buildings/cars etc - but the PS3 is less bad there from my experience. They also don't run at 5040x1050, either - they do more like 640p, which is then upscaled. On both my PS3, and a friends 360, there are also occasions where it tries to go slideshow. ;)

I'm just grumpy about yet another game with irritating restrictions. :(

PS3 version is 1152x640 with no AA, 360 is 1280x720 with 2xAA. I wonder what the issue with AA support on the PC version is.
