GTA IV running... TOO FAST!

Recommended Posts

Yeap... exacly. I've got Radeon HD4870, E7300 Core Duo(overclocked), 4GB of ram... and GTA is running too bloody fast! I triet to synch fps with my monitor(60)... didn't help. What should I do?

 

P.S.: What I mean by "too fast" is that Nico... well... everything aroung him goes at least twice or more faster than it should(well... exept tv and conversations, and maybe some other non-graphical things).

Is it just fast in terms of motion or is the FPS very high? What is your FPS average?

I had the same issue with san andreas. All I did is downloaded AMD dual core optimiser. Well you might not have the same specs as mine, but you have to find and download some optimiser for your system.

For me it cleared the issue with SA. Try that smile.gif

I only let GTA to use one core and that didn't happen... well.. the fps dropped to 17-18 sometimes. Damn... :|... are there any other options?

I have the same setup as you, E7300 @ 2.66Ghz (stock), 512mb 4870HD and 4GB ram...i'm using Windows XP Prof. 64-bit and the game runs fine, no problems at all. Textures are set to medium.

I have the exact same issue.

 

My specs:

XP pro

ATI EAH4870 1GB

Intel Core2Duo E8500 3.0

2 GB Ram

Asus PQ5 Pro motherboard.

 

Could be something to do with an ATI card and a Dual core? I made a thread in the tech section and another guy with a dual core and an ATI had the same problem like us.

-frameLimit: 

Limit frame to interval of refresh rate (ex If refreshrate is 60HZ –frameLimit 1 = Locks down to 60HZ)

 

-refreshrate: 

Set the refresh rate of main render window – Warning - Monitor must support (ex. –refreshrate 60)

 

From the readme in the GTA root folder, try those on the target of a shortcut to "LaunchGTAIV.exe"

 

Create shorcut (its in root of GTA folder with all exe's) then add to target after > " < (space) -framelimit etc.

This was an issue with San Andreas on dual-core processors, however I'd be surprised if IV was having the same issue in 2008. Just in case, try setting GTAIV.exe's affinity in Task Manager to just Core 0 (un-check Core 1) and see if it returns to normal speed. It will require a patch for a permanent fix if this is the case.

Sry for double post. Do You have on-board sound card? May it be something with Vram? And Rosbjerg could You give me link to Your post in troubleshoting?

This^ has to be the first solution you should try.

there you go

 

I'll try the frame rate restriction later, see if it has any impact on this bug.

 

 

Do You have on-board sound cars?

Yes, Realtek HD Audio (I believe it's called)

Devilru... damn... we've got totally the same spec ^^(maybe exept 1GB of Vram). Did You also have such a problem, that after installing drivers of the motherboard in system manager under "other devices" (propably ;p, i have polish Windows) there were two unidentified HD Audio, and after instaling Realtek drivers, one of them went to "controllers of audio, video and games" as Realtek HD Audio, and the other one still is under "other devices"?

I tried to install drivers again but It didnt help.
