Another guy who has ATI 4870 and those kind of problems. And I don't see any Geforce guy complaining so far. It really is the ATI problem then. Well it has to. Only ATI owners are experiencing those problems so far. Even 8800GT guy told that he was running fine and had no problems. No major frame drops and everything run fine. ATI drivers blows .

Are you posting in every thread talking about how nvidia is better omg these fanboys

[AussieDave27]

Don't have an XP computer or dual boot or even a DVD for XP sorry.

I managed to save the game so I'm just trying to load it now. It takes several attempts to get in.

[duffman12]

surely more than 1 person has the game and can post screenshots?

[CJ_Vercetti]

what exactly are your default settings?
and could you post some pictures using the highest settings available?

Most people are sleeping at this time and... are still downloading the game, watch the threads this evening

e8500 @ 3.6
1gb 4870
4gb ram

Runs like crap. Tried forcing AA through CCC, doesn't work.

[Shadow Kipper]

The low-setting shots were pretty poor (quality wise, not screenshotwise, Dave has done as all a favor)

And that was on
LOW
LOW

or whatever.


I must state again:
Im only in it for the video editor

[LaoBoy]

looks nice though haha, sweet thanks!

[Gordonfreeman]

wish i can run i on high

[duffman12]

Boostaa - what kind of FPS you achieving? How does it run on lower settings? mid range?

What is the resource usage? Is that how much mem your GPU is using?

Bridge is looking great in that second screen Boostaa, thanks for posting.

Is it possible to get a picture of the traffic (Especially considering you have the slider all the way up to 100 )?

[pinky]

Nice pics Boosta.

Anyone out there running it in SLi or Crossfire, I would like to know how they are getting on with it?

Nice, should be similar performance to mine.
Looking forward to screenies and comments on performance.

[Lioshenka]

Can't believe all of you bought the first computer you were offered in the shop!

Seems noone has read the reviews for Vista, experienced it or at least read the reviews on ATi cards.

Well i did, and fingers crossed the game will alunch on my XP with Nvidia card.

Thanks to all who keep the screenies coming!

Around $3,000 USD.

I use it for more than just gaming also if that makes a difference.

Edit: To the post above, Ive had this PC before GTA IV PC was even announced...

Can somebody with an nVidia card please post some screenshots?

[Boostaa]

From memory those screenshots had about 25 fps. Drops down to the mid teens quite often, rarely goes above 30. If i lower the sliders all the way down it runs above 30 for the most part but looks really awful. Those screenshots look better than it looks in game as well because they had to be resized for photobucket. Shadows look bad all the time, and anything like a wire fence looks terrible. If anybody can host pics let me know and i can send some full size ones.

You just need to change the filesize settings in Photobucket and they wont get resized. I can post 1920x1200 pics on it no problem.

EDIT: just remember to post them as thumbnail clickies though, or you will get trolled.
