When GTA IV was released for PC in December 2008, its massive size—roughly —posed a challenge for internet speeds of that era.

To run GTA IV effectively on modern hardware, your PC should meet these minimum specifications:

: Most third-party hosting sites split large games into multiple 1GB or 2GB chunks to bypass server upload limits.

: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz or AMD Athlon X2 64 2.4GHz. Memory : 1.5 GB RAM. Graphics : 256MB Nvidia 7900 or 256MB ATI X1900. Storage : At least 22 GB of free space.
