Anyone with AMD X2 5000+ out there?

To express how pissed off I am with this shamble, I will now squad over the game discs and sh*t on them.

GTAIV is running pretty smooth on my rig after some tweaking. This game is a blast. Lovin the new physics. Now I need to figure out getting a controller to work.

 

I am running a socket 939 AMD Opteron 180 at stock 2.4 GHz.

2 gigs GSKILL PC3200

8800 GTS 640MB

That's odd. I have a 5200+ at about 2.7 GHz, 2 gigs of RAM and a 8800GT which is barely being used at all, and at roughly medium settings I'm in single FPS digits. Same drivers too. Although I'm on Vista SP1.

What's causing my horrid speeds?

Do you have the AMD Dual Core Optimizer installed? That certainly helped mine out. I also changed page rendering to 8 in the nivida control panel. Oh, and set that shadow thing to 0 in game .

Does that 'shading density' thingie make the game look much better? Can you post comparision screens please?

Great thread guys, I actually have an 8600GT and am on an amd 5600 and Im hoping the game will be comfortably playable on medium or low settings. Correct me if Im wrong but the CPU seems to be the biggest factor in performance from what Ive been reading which means I may just manage to play it, what worrys me is that it stutters like hell when I start driving fast etc, I really hope it isnt like that, its just I did a benchmark test and coording to that I should be able to play pretty reasonably

I do have it installed, although I'm not sure how recent it is. I haven't tried fiddling with the nvidia control panel yet, but I'm overclocking my CPU first, then fiddling with the small stuff.
