Saw this on reddit yesterday. Seems legit, but too good to be true.

I'm done with Rockstar games. They've taken PC gamers for granted for too long.

Oh yes god yes bring it. I´ve been seeing gameplays of gta V and they went nuts with the game; the fantastic game itself with dx11 and hi-res textures is something i can´t wait for.

Yet, you are still going to play that game!

I will buy it, even if I too am mad at Rockstar. Almost bought a second hand PS3 for GTA5 exclusively, but I didn't because I'm better than that. :P

I will believe it when I see it. Other than that I expect a port with maybe higher textures.

Because we are an afterthought to them... And in some cases.. not even thought of at all.

I expect the game to be playable 2-3 years after launch. Need to give the modders enough time to work their magic.

I wonder if they'll just apply the higher res textures to the same objects (meaning they don't alter the wire frames or whatever to have more detail).

Didn't Max Payne 3 ship with a 32bit EXE?

Then ill wait for 5 euro Steam Sale.

something is very wrong with the title, 64 bit memory ? i would understand 64 bit CPU but memory is purely bandwidth related and pretty much i have only one item with that slow memory - it is Geforce 7300LE in case of emergency when i sell my fast graphic card

except what we get is better than what the consoles get. compare gta4 on console to gta4 when it was first released on PC. not even close graphically.

So gta might be coming to pc and according to the pride of the human species over at Nvidia Headquaters... The new consoles surprisingly aren't going to be more powerful than the pc.

I believe you have mis-understood what a 64bit application is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing Basically every byte you have in your computers memory has a address, represented by a unique number. A 32bit unsigned number (meaning it's designed to only represent positive numbers) can represent exactly 4,294,967,295 unique values, which is approx 4GB. With an application compiled to use a 64bit architecture you theoretically get access to 2^64 unique numbers which means you can address up to 16 exbibytes of memory. In essence this means the application has the capability of using more than 4GB of memory since it can address up to 16 exbibytes of memory. Of course it can only use up to how ever much you have installed in your machine. The 64bits you're referring to is the bit width of the memory controller for your video card. This is completely different and represents how many bits of data the graphics card can read from memory per clock cycle. Although maybe I have mis-interpreted your comment. Perhaps the title 64bit application is more appropriate since there is no such thing as 64bit memory.

A bit misleading, GTA IV started running pretty good when intel updated their cpus to the current Core ix lineup. I remember a Core i7 920 being able to make huge performance increase, especially when OC'd. and that was back in Q4 '08. It's also worth noting that it loves to eat Vram, so it taxed cards a lot, back when 1GB seemed like a lot.

I did say "I" xD 2011 was when I upgraded my PC last..
