tiax Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 After contacting Rockstar support for help with my terrible frame rates, I was told to install the patch, latest drivers, disable clip capture and install RivaTuner. After asking what I was supposed to do with RivaTuner after installing it, I was told: You will have to play around with some of the Rivatuner settings however as it's not a rockstar product we are unable to advise on how to use it A) What kind of customer service is this? Tell me to install a program and then refuse to explain how to use it? B) Does anyone have an inkling on how what settings it might be a good idea to "play around with"? By the look of it, I could seriously damage my computer if I mess with the wrong things. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388051-rivatuner/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUD1974 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Rivatuner is used for overclocking your graphics card. I'm surprised they offer that as a solution, although it is usually safe to overclock most modern graphics cards by 20-30% or more. You will need to google for help with rivatuner and the graphics you have. If after that you aren't happy then I would suggest the only other option is to buy a new faster graphics card.

Lutra78 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Especially Rivatuner destroys the textures in GTAIV and can harm your vga-card in combination with gtaiv. So the techsupport has really no idea what theyre talking about. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388051-rivatuner/#findComment-1058816100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiax Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yeah, I figured just going in there and fiddling with settings was a bad idea. Oh well. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388051-rivatuner/#findComment-1058816246 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes but it's more a Nvidia driver tweaking program. There are a bunch of different driver tweaks that may work if they are relevant to your card\driver\game. I'm not sure why they would tell you install Rivatuner and then say well we can't tell you what settings to adjust. That doesn't make a lick of sense.
