ron123 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) As a PC gamer (never played on console) I waited to long for the PC version. I remember that I got GTA IV (PC version) in December 4, I installed the game for 30-40 min and got 15-20 fps on 1280x1024 res with med textures. Damn, I thought to myself what's the problem with this game, even on CRYSIS I got 25-30 fps all on max + AA=X4, does main 9800gt 512 Mb is too weak? I so hate low resolution and low frame rates that I wanted to burn rockstar for their unplayable great game. I started to save money for 4870x2 card thinking that I must play this great game somehow. but as the time passed, I Intalled new programs and tweaks and got better performance of playing the game. Now I finished 60% of the game while adding\changing the next things: 1. download driver 180.84 or 181.00 2. install patch. 3. use in commandline: "-nomemrestrict -norestrictions -novblank " 4. close all programs and give gta high priority in task manager. 5. switch off the movie capture option in manu. 6. installed the programs: "memturbo" and "catchboost" . 7. close social club before loading save file for the first time in game. Finally after so many attemps and time I can say that I kicked this bad ported game in it's ass I have: Q6600 2.4 GHZ, 2 Gb of RAM, 9800GT 512 Mb and Win XP SP3. my benchmark: Statistics Average FPS: 40.69 Duration: 37.31 sec CPU Usage: 69% System memory usage: 70% Video memory usage: 100% Graphics Settings Video Mode: 1280 x 1024 (60 Hz) Texture Quality: High Render Quality: Highest View Distance: 100 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® Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz File ID: Benchmark.cli I will buy soon FUlLHD screen and kick GTA IV on high settings.
