Can someone explain to me why I get 10 FPS?

[Net-Zao]

I'd honestly like to know if I have a bottleneck...or wtf is going on here.

 

My settings...

 

Med textures

Med Render

Draw Distance = 5

Detail Distance = 2

Every other slider is at 1

Res 1600, 1200

 

QuadCore 3.4ghz

3 GB Ram

8800 Ultra

Vista32

 

Why the f*ck do I get 10 fps in multiplayer without all the sliders down with a top-line system? Am I missing something here? Single player runs 10X smoother.

Didn't get get the README?

 

It's a "future game".

 

Expect 32 player MP to be playable in 5 or 10 years.

How much do you get in singleplayer? I'm getting less than 24 average on 2x GTX280OC!!! (yes, SLI can be activated via Nhancer and works, at least technicaly).

 

I think just about any CPU currently on the market wll be a bottleneck for this game. It practicaly runs in software mode. Maybe a 10GHz octa-core would solve the problem... Or make the engine use at least some of the GPU power...

 

My 3.82GHz dual core surely is one big bottleneck. I know it's no quad, but a freakin 3.82GHz core2 duo to cause the fps to go down to less than 20???

 

The whole game is a joke. Crysis looks like a CGI movie and runs better and I'm sure it has more polygons, shadows, effetcs, etc. And now, GTA4 is not a simulation of a big living world. Every car and pedestrian is just a random pop-up which dissapears as long as you go 50m away.

 

The only positive thing GTA4 PC brought to me is that I realised how well Crysis actualy works on my PC.
