ron123 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I have: q6600 2.4 ghz 2 gb ram 9800gt 512 mb win xp sp3 without going online you can`nt use norestrictions- so I loaded the game with high text in low res and low draw distance - and than changed the text to low adding max res (1280-1024) and distance=20, this way the game remained in high text with the new settings (which is a nice trick).- in this high text I was able to get 25-30 fps (good Enough for my rig) but then I added distance to 90 and I was surprised to find out that the game runs much better with 35-40 fps on high res and high text. (perfect for me) last and important tips for all: 1. reset your win screen res to minimum 2. close your internet and all the unnessecary programs 3. set max priority to gta in win task manager (very important) 4. switch off the clip capture option in game (get more 3-6 fps) Statistics Average FPS: 38.02 Duration: 37.21 sec CPU Usage: 67% System memory usage: 91% Video memory usage: 100% Graphics Settings Video Mode: 1280 x 1024 (75 Hz) Texture Quality: Low Render Quality: Highest View Distance: 94 Detail Distance: 100 Hardware Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 Video Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT Video Driver version: 181.00 Audio Adapter: Realtek HD Audio output Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz File ID: Benchmark.cli note: the true text is on high (only the game thinks that this is on low- as I explained above) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/387633-great-boost-of-fps-on-gpu-with-512-mb-g-ram/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron123 Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) how do u switch the auto capture off? To redda2: while in game search "clip capture" under the "load game option" and "auto save option", then change from "on" to "off". Note: I love to use " - LOL!!!

UndeadDevil Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 3. set max priority to gta in win task manager (very important) If you have a X-Fi this causes stuttering audio in XP (I use YouPax's Drivers and have tried latest official ones as well) Also Realtime is a extremely bad idea (Can cause alot of problems), High is sufficient and safe. Setting Higher Priority also causes issues with Virus Scanners unless you tell your Virus Scanner to ignore the GTA IV Folder.

(More Pop-In) "2. close your internet and all the unnessecary programs" - that means including anti virus. most users of gpu with 512 MB G-RAM don`t have the "X-Fi" sound card. for all : I played 50 hours without any problems on "real time" with more 10-15 fps. "real time option" may cause problems only if it used with extremely overclocked cpu (with bad cooler) after very long time of use.
