P4 1.8 ghz

512mb Ram

80gb 7200rpm hardrive

48x dvd-rom

ATI Radeon 9700 Pro w latest drivers

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum Ex

 

Yeah, my computers the shiznit (but thats what you get when you blow all your scholarship money on a computer). It runs GTA around 60 fps (80 on good days) at 1280x1048 with AAx4 and Aniostophicx4 samples. I turned off frame limiter but turned on frame sync, and I constanly defrag and clean my hard drive.  Believe me, if your a hard core gamer, get the ATI card. It gives lightning a run for it's money.

And the Sound Blaster hooked up to my 400watt Logitech 4.1 speakers make the game what it was supposed to be.

P4 2.0, 1024 DDR

G-Force 3 Ti-500

SONY G410 monitor

win 2k

running on a resolution of 1920 x 1420 x 32

 

runs perfect for 20-30 minutes and then becomes frozen.

I figure my graphics card should be able to handle this res.

 

Is there any fixes?

 

Please Help

Bullet Tooth Tony

My System Specs Are

Processor: Intel Pentium IV 1.7ghz

RAM: 256mb RDRAM (PC800)

Video: Creative 3D Blaster 4 4400 (Ge-Force 4 Ti 4400)

Sound: Sound Blaster Live! Value

O/S: Windows ME (Millenium Edition)

Direct X Version 8.1

Detonator Drivers: 31.40 WHQL

(Available from www.guru3d.com)

 

Overall i get 30fps on GTA3 a result which i got from 3D Analyze, and get a mark of over 8000 from 3D Mark 2001

I wanna get 512mb RAM next But i wanna know if i have to use RDRAM or can i get DDR RAM instead my motherboard is an MSI one Model No. 6385.

 

P.S If any one was wondering how come GTA Vice is coming out on PC (despite its PS2 "exclusiveness) it appears that the rule only counts with consoles (so no version for XBOX or Gamecube.

I don't know why you people are playing with high resolutions... When I'll get ^^ that comp I will play GTA3 with 800x600 resolution. It's so uncomfortable for me to play in high resolutions, so why bother going for more and at the same time decreasing the performance.

My comp.

 

AMD XP 1700+

K266A MoBo

512mb DDR RAM

GeForce 3 Ti500

30GB 5400rpm HDD

 

Runs GTA3 fine, everything maxed, no tweaks, at about 40fps. If I used that 'no radio' tweak, lowered the res, found the ideal drivers and tweaked the settings a little I think I could easily get to a smooth 70fps+ game.

Stats are below, runs nice 'n fast. I think the biggest difference from my old machine was the video card upgrade... ATi Rage 128 Pro 16 MB to Gainward GeForce2 MX-400 64 MB. The G2 is a great bang-for-your-buck card.

GTA3 runs like a dream. I've got it set at 800x600 @ 32, with trails on. I also keep frame limiter on to keep the frame rate steady... I have yet to check my framerate, or push the settings enough to kill my pc.

Nothing fancy at first:

 

 

800 MHz pIII

512 Mb PC 133 RAM

30 GB hard drive @ 7200 RPM

Prev vid card: Voodoo 5 5500 AGP

Best fps here was *maybe* 35 when looking straight up at the sky, average was around 15

New vid card: GeForce 4 Ti 4200

Best is about 70-80, average around 40

 

Oh, 800 x 600 @ 32

 

This card kicks ass :D
