GTA 4 PC Graphics is much better than in PS3

Just recently bought GTA 4 PC version and it is dead cheap in India. It costs about $10 which i believe is the best pricing ever happened to Indian gamers. But rockstar knows that the game requires very high end hardware and not everybody can make the game run on their PC.
