AussieDave27 2 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Here are some ingame ones (first 2 are from intro movie) First time out of 4 attempts that I've actually made it through the ingame ones without a freeze like seen in my first lot of pictures (the camera phone one) These pictures also can't show how poorly this plays. I got 32fps average on the benchmark tool but I reckon I'm playing it at about 20-25. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Gordonfreeman 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 awesome !! good job AussieDave27, thank you so much for taking your time out and sharing these pictures with us Link to post Share on other sites
Vasil 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Which are your specs, AussieDave...Damn, this game´s gonna be an epic fail. Looks like sh*t. Edited December 2, 2008 by Vasil Link to post Share on other sites
AussieDave27 2 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 To the guy who asked about Independence FM. According to the manual it's just the same as previous GTAs with the radio. Basicall you just put your songs in a folder and can have: Sequential: Plays through the songs in order Shuffle: Plays through the songs at random Radio: Plays through the songs (maybe at random) but with radio ads and banta inbetween. My specs are: 3.0GHz Core 2 Duo 4870 512mb graphics card 4 gig ram Vista Ultimate 32 bit with Service Pack 1 That's a pretty decent rig. It shouldn't be producing screenshots like I've posted at only 20-25fps. Link to post Share on other sites

Shadow Kipper 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 awesome !! good job AussieDave27, thank you so much for taking your time out and sharing these pictures with us I agree, great job there Dave. You've got 27 people reading this topic at this very moment according to the stats lol If awards were this easy to hand out I'd reccomend you for one, seeing as you've gone out of your way to get fellow gamers the screens we asked for. Meh, who cares: Votes AussieDave27 for Award/Medal Link to post Share on other sites
AussieDave27 2 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 I'd like to thank my family.... For testing, I dropped the graphics down to recommended settings and not only did it look even poorer (not too much of a difference because it already looks poor enough as it is) but it still had a little bit of lag but it ran at an acceptable rate I'd say. I see no anti-aliasing options and it sure as hell needs some. I'm going to at least complete the first driving mission now so i can get out of the car and walk around and get some more screenies.

extender 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 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 . Link to post Share on other sites

AussieDave27 2 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 That last pic looks good but it's in daytime which normally looks better than at night.

something0987 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) OP, your computer freezing with all the artifacts as seen in the second screenshot is a result of your 4870's GPU clock running at 500 MHz instead of 750. I don't remember the exact reason behind it but it's something to do with your graphics card switching between 2D and 3D very quickly which causes it to freeze. I had this problem with Spore and Fallout 3 becuase of my 4870, and as soon as I saw that picture I knew you probably had a 4870 as well, but there is a fix. Note this is not the games fault it is freezing btw. You need to enable hidden files for this. Go to C < Users < Your Username < AppData < Local < ATI < ACE < Profiles and then right click and edit the profile you use. You then want to find the line that reads: <Feature name="CoreClockTarget_0"> <Property name="Want_0" value="50000" /> <Property name="Want_1" value="75000" /> <Property name="Want_2" value="75000" /> And change it to: <Feature name="CoreClockTarget_0"> <Property name="Want_0" value="75000" /> <Property name="Want_1" value="75000" /> <Property name="Want_2" value="75000" /> Then save and reactivate that profile in the Catalyst Control Center. You will see in the ATI Overdrive section that your GPU clock now reads 750 MHz. When you restart your computer the clock will reset back to 500 MHz so you will need to reactivate your profile everytime you restart. This will not improve performance or anything, but it will stop it from locking up your computer. Edited December 2, 2008 by something0987 Link to post Share on other sites

I just clicked ESC during the intro movie to skip it and it crashed. lolcrash Ahem. Yes anyway. Im not that fussed on graphics, I never have been and never will be. Im concentrating on the gameplay itself, the fun of it, not payng attention to a relfection in a car window. I mean sure it all boils down to the inner workings but at the end of the day, I dont really care. I just want the video editor options I always have my 360 to go back to.
