Schind2k Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Hi I havent had the game for very long and I didnt really worry about the lag untill I got onto Stauntons Island now the game is virtually unplayable just as I started getting somewhere. I downloaded a fps tool to see what I was running like and on the options screen its around 190 - 220 but ingame Im lucky to get 10 -12 fps My specs are (please excuse any that arent quite spelt right or seem a little odd as im not to good at the technical jargon to do with PC's) Duron 1.8 processor Geforce 2 mx 200 Graphics card 612 DDR memory (I think DDR is right) 30gig Hard Drive Sound Blaster 116 (Summing like that, Ive been told its crap anyway) DirectX 8.1 I have my settings set at:- 600 x 800 res 256 colour Everything in-game that I can turn off or have down low I have done and my frame rate is 6 - 14 Think thats all i got to submit. If anyone can help me out with any FPS boosting tips or something that would be great. Its great to see so many people posting in the forums and helping eachother out especially illspirit, Been searching through alot of these forums to find something to help me out and your name has come up loads, Nice One Schind2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBJusDontPlay Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I've got a pentium3, 866mhz Geforce4 mx420 64megs the rest of the factors don't really matter, except for ram: I started off with 256megs, and the game would chop every so often while driving for example. Then I upgraded to 384, and suddenly it got a lot smoother everywhere. I'll be upgrading 512 very shortly, and that should have the game running perfectly. I believe the main lag issues that occur with this game have to do with reading the audio from the cd's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with 2.3 its all smooth. The only things is that I have to use miles fast 2d audio even though I have an audigy because eax hd3 causes feedback between my speakers (which were bought separatly). The amplifier turns into an oscillator and makes loud ringing just like you get with a microphone on the stage. I don't know if I can control the amplifier, obviously I set it to a volume I want.

Dood04 Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 (i pinned this so we can all get an idea of what's good, and what's not. - illspirit) Please list your computer specs, then say how it works with GTA3 PC. Me --- 733mhz PIII 526 Ram 20 GB HD Nvidia Geforce 256 Sony Trinitron Monitor Cable Broadband Modem Dell Dimension XPS T750r It works okay with my GTA3, just a bit laggy sometimes, like in Staunton Island the most.... Here are my specs 2.2 ghz P4 332MB of RAM Geeforce 4 44MX graphics card 60GB hard Drive Windows XP Augidy Player sound card It runs well, no lag at all when background programs are turned off, but the graphics are a bit blocky, and i dont have a clue why, even when i turned the trails off.

sakus Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 AMD Duron 1200Mhz Abit KT7A 512MB RAM Ati Radeon 9000 pro 64 MB overclocked core 290/mem 300 SB Live! 5.1 Windows XP I get the best results with 800x600x32, but it's still quite unplayable. I used to have Geforce 2 MX in this same machine before (but it got busted) and the game ran a lot better, even though I had to use 640x480x16. There was no lag with GF2MX but there is with Radeon. Seems like Rockstar doesn't like Ati? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch0g0nda Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 I'm constantly playing on 640x480 and it runs well. But my video card is the bottleneck here. My cpu and ram easily accomidate this game but my vid card is just far too underpowered. Do yourself a favor. Don't get a hercules card. Unless ur getting the Game Theater XP, that thing roxors.
