Hey all,

A lot of people have been posting and sending me messages of their community specs to see if they can run the game or not. There is a brilliant site that uses Java to detect your specs and tells you if you can run it or not:

Alternatively, here are the recommended guidelines.
Minimum specifications:
OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1, Windows Vista 64 Bit Service Pack 2* (*NVIDIA video card recommended if running Vista OS)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs) @ 2.5GHz
Memory: 4GB
Video Card: NVIDIA 9800 GT 1GB / AMD HD 4870 1GB (DX 10, 10.1, 11)
Sound Card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible
HDD Space: 65GB
DVD Drive

Recommended specifications:
OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHZ (4 CPUs) / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHZ (8 CPUs)
Memory: 8GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD7870 2GB

I honestly don't like that site, it tells me I can't run GTA IV or V when I can actually run them both smoothly.

if you're a cheap fuck like me, here are some ways to get the game (without a region lock) for about 30$

http://www.nuuvem.com.br/produto/2773-grand-theft-auto-v (out of stock right now but soon restocking)
http://www.greenmangaming.com/ (in stock; 30 dollar ONLY in vip section; vip section available for any new registered user)

both websites require you to be brazilian in order for the listed prices to change; do this using hola (or an equivalent) or vpn.
turn off proxy/vpn before you enter the paypal payment process. account details have to match certain details on your paypal acc, be aware of that.

coupon codes do not work anymore for greenmangaming.
this wont get you the steam edition; but the standalone edition which can be downloaded and activated via rockstar social club

Should I choose windows 8.1 than windows 7 64-bit? Because people saying windows 8.1 has shitty system. But the mainstream support on windows 7 already ended.

My pc can easily run it but Im facing problems with the installation.
First time I bought it, disk 7 was corrupt, second time I got an error while extracting archieve from disk 7, replaced it for the 3rd time but disk 1 was corrupt. I dont know what I'm gonna do but I so wana download it :(
Could the problem be that I have windows 10 and some of the archieve files from disk 7 the second time couldnt be explored on windows 10?
