Any GTA games with an overclocked Geforce 7100GS 128MB?

While my 4890 is being RMA'ed, I can't play GTA IV. I've got a Geforce 7100GS 128MB that I've overclocked from 350/666Mhz to 475/1000Mhz. I can't play GTA IV on it. I was thinking of buying the GTA Trilogy (III, Vice City, San Andreas) for $20 in the mean time. Can the 7100GS play any of those three games?

According to Tom's Graphics hierarchy. The FX 5900 is several tiers above the 7100GS. What settings could you play at? What card did you upgrade from that couldn't play Vice City?

GTA III would be more like 1024x768x32 @ medium.
My 16mb ATI Rage 128 Ultra could handle that and it was from the DirectX 6 generation.

I care more about San Andreas than the other two, so I'm glad I can play it. Hopefully the settings won't have to be low and 800x600x16. It seems like the extra 125Mhz on the core and 334Mhz on the memory should help put it on medium settings, but the 128MB may limit the resolution.

I can play CS:S on 1280x800 and medium settings. I don't know how that game compares to the GTA's.
 
On my retro box I play vice city on a vintage geforce 256 (64mb) and don't have much of a fps issue so that although crappy 7100gs it will still be able to run up to SA with out to much lag but not IV. So just wait till you get your 4890 from rma or 5750/5770 if they are low on stock to play gta IV.
