Piss off troll. I'm always right and I can tell this game deserves every flop it needs to run. Graphics are awesome.
How can a coherent sane person disagrees with me, beats me...

@ sabin1981
Haha, yeah, the Ai is interesting and the animations are the best ever. My favourite passtime was to harass specific ppl, especially fat ladies, chasing them, pushing them around lol !

So, what hardware runs the game on maximum settings? When I tried to play it soon after release, my system couldn't handle it well even on medium. I'm about to upgrade, so I was wondering...
i7 6700k @ 4.4 GHZ, 2060s, 16 GB RAM, SSD, Windows 10x64.

I get about 30 FPS with everything at max, would recommend a i7 at around 3 Ghz or so (Quad with two threads for core 'hyper threading' as they call it.) along with at least 2GB of GPU RAM (Yes you read right.) and 4 GB system RAM.
Using command-line parameters you can force the GPU ram into the system ram (maxmem) but this can cause issues depending on the RAM amount and speed of it, I use it mainly to improve visual quality though.
(ENB will also help visuals but expect a 30 - 60 % frame rate drop if you push the settings.)

i7 @ 3.8ghz + a GTX 295 hovers at 60FPS. If you have a shit machine, you get shit performance. If you have an excellent machine, you get to play it nicely maxed out.
Sabin can chime in and 'epeen' all he likes, that's how it works regardless. We're running PC's here not 5 year old technology holding everything back.

Do not buy an i7, unless you like to waste money. i5 can be clocked to 3.2 GHz easily with stock cooler. and 4 GHz+, with a better fan cooler, like Noctua NH-D14 or similar.
If your main thing is gaming, then go i5. If you work alot with heavy programs, like Video editing, effects blablalba then go i7, even though i5 works like a charm to.
Hyper threading can actually decrease performance in some games.

I know what you mean though I don't really pay attention to it while playing but the various objects (All those antennas, bridges and pillars and such.) do get very aliased though unfortunately SSAA is only possible via ENB (Possibly SSAA might work on ATI 5000 series of cards by renaming the game EXE but that causes other problems since it has to be launched via launcher alternatively loader or you get protection related issues.)
And with ENB it scales the resolution of the entire "scene" so HUD data gets pretty stretched even with the various game menus and cell phone options so I don't use it, plus the rather severe performance hit.
(SSAA 2x = 1680x1050 x 2 and then scaled down again so something like above 3000 x 2000 pixels.)
EDIT: It does help with the aliasing though as seen with this preview.
http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,702785/GTA-4-with-realistic-graphics-mod-the-better-way-Update-More-shots-and-HD-video/Practice/
(Unfortunately it's pretty badly configured so it's not a good comparison.)
EDIT: The ENB screens also shows of the effect a bit albeit quite a few changes to lighting and other systems as well.
http://enbdev.com/ss_gta4_01_en.htm
EDIT: And a different SSAA example with Crysis using something like 8x at 2560x1200 or what the resolution was again.
http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,695146/Crazy-Crysis-screenshot-25600-x-16000-pixels/News/
(As said it's pretty effective but a somewhat crude way to do it and very demanding in terms of GPU power.)

If true, it's a major kick in the balls...
Edit : Btw, JBeckman what do you say about AMD Phenom 2 X4 925 ? How is it in comparison to i5/i7 in this game?
i7 6700k @ 4.4 GHZ, 2060s, 16 GB RAM, SSD, Windows 10x64.

Ya GTA4 PC was awesome. Yeah it was buggy at launch but after the patches it worked fine. TY R* for still supporting your PC community, even if it was a timed release. Nothing worse than getting totally thrown under the bus like Remedy.

*laughs* I know you (and many of us actually) are pissed at Remedy for ignoring the PC, but come on? R* support the PC community? Not likely, mate. They pissed on the PC community right from the very start.
Timed exclusive.
Ridiculous system requirements and/or lousy optimisation.
Buggy as all hell.
Constant blocking of the modding community.
Yeah the game itself is great, but requiring five patches before it's actually playable on the majority of PCs? That's just poor.

My man, you will not be running this crap even with a 12 core CPU. Just accept the awful framerate and enjoy it for what it is, or do what I did, and shift-delete. 
Also, about the huge video memory required, it is all due to the method the game manages textures (in a word, "retarded").

An i7 (or, at the minimum, an i5) running seriously OCed. Even that most likely won't get you 60fps at max settings.

Gee, excuse us for expecting to have games work on our stupidly expensive PC hardware....
