A 350Watt powersupply will be cutting it very short, if you get any instability, this is probably your culprit.


'Hybrid-SLi' is a myth o_O (Well, not literally, but you won't see a whole bunch of improvement at all)
Yup i knew that. I will probably have to get a new powersupply if it starts being unstable. And any improvement is an improvement for now.

Budget GPU + Budget GPU = An expensive, only slightly improved budget gpu. Best to just spend all the money on a better single card.
I would agree with that, but it's to late - My dad had bought the nvidia 9500 without me knowing, so buying another one is only 50 quid. Instead of buying an 100+quid card for good performance.

Are you trying to say that GTA 4 will never run good on a PC no matter how high the spec?

my specs are ok, and gta looks mean, and only lags sometimes, when the cpu gets hot, stupid intel reducing clock speed when cpu gets hot :(, the game doesnt look to much different to when im playing with ps3 on non hd tv
