lol well I have a feeling this isn't the real gameplay. What the hell could be happening?

i have a feeling you aren't thinking this out, or another v"future proof troll"

you are using an operating system that isn't even in beta.

 

uninstall the unsupported operating system and install a supported one.

 

your hardware will be fine. when windows seven is out and released , there will be a patch to add

it to the line of operating systems. probably will not be a mandatory patch, will be on the site or something.

 

 

like vice citie's patch said " if you are not an ati video card user having the specified issues you should not

bother installing this patch, for it will not do anything for you. of course trolls where coming here telling newbs

that it sped up their gameplay on their nvidia video cards. lead to follow up threads saying ' my video card is broke now"

so, yeah. trolls are nothing new. a bit more tame and a whole lot less malicious than they used to be ;-)

 

 

 

but hey, good job, you made it a few hours before anyone noticed..

Besides all of that, how about doing a real comparison using the exact same graphical settings

 

Obvioulsy changing the draw distance to 100 is going to cause something, since its CPU bound more than GPU

You just could lower your settings little bit.

If you'll notice I got better FPS on an 8800 GTS with HIGHER settings than with the GTX 280.

 

By the way I just ran the benchmark again here are my stats. Take note about halfway down that is when the benchmark actually starts:

A bottleneck is what you have.

try lowering your view distance and detail distance as there isn't a huge difference between 70 down to 50 and try texture quality at medium and render quality on high

Sorry to say it but that is about right, this game is horrifically ported.

 

Then again, you could take Truxters' advice and install on a fresh XP or even better Vista 64 OS, it's supposed to be highly optimised for Vista 64 but unfortunately it's not and plays like sh*t.

 

The trouble with the rather disingenuous folk on these forums is that they'll lead you to the unfortunate conclusion that upgrading your average GPU to the top end will make THE difference, what they never told you is they are lying c*nts.

 

I have stripped out a new Vista 64 install, I have pretty much raped its entire bloat, it now runs with 53FPS in benchmark(20FPS on a standard Vista 64 install), however in-game that is a stuttering ugly mess, with your setup you can only hope to have 20-25FPS in-game, maybe 43 FPS in banchmark on a known OS like Vista(dont waste your time) or XP (preferable).

 

I have read here and elsewhere that Windows 7 runs it better than Vista, and I've no reason to doubt it because the win 7 beta I have in my company's R&D office runs everything faster than Vista, but that's like saying your expensive restaurant meal with a dead fly in it is better than an expensive meal with two dead flies in it.

 

You're unfortunately only a mere 1% of the general public that is experiencing problems the rest (99% no less!) seem to be flying with their amazing 20FPS in-game performance...

I found the problem:

 

 

Graphics Settings

Video Mode: 1680 x 1050 (60 Hz)

Texture Quality: High

Render Quality: Highest

View Distance: 100

Detail Distance: 100

Shadows : 0

 

Your settings are too high for your hardware. See my signature for advice, try those settings.

 

GTA need super-computer to run on minimum settings, there is no way around but to upgrade your PC.

Do you have the tlb patch disabled on your phenom? If not you should disable it and your framerates should go up.

See, same GPU (not oc) and GFX settings => 4x your FPS.

hmmmm if you took the Screen Res down to 1280x1024 you would get around 25FPS, i know coz mine was same plus i overclocked my processor and GFX Card and upped it again to 32FPS biggrin.gif

windows 7 would be the major change that would have affected your gameplay go back to vista

 

secondly a 8800GTS should have been fairly good but a GTX280 should have been way better, its either windows 7 or your CPU try overclocking the phenom

 

ALSO I THOUGHT NVIDIA HAD NEWER DRIVERS? no wait there betas but they may help try them anyway

 

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us

 

just search the correct operating system the drivers should be labelled 180.84, December 9th, BETA

I'm back on Vista redownloading GTAIV. And I highly doubt it's my CPU and that the problem lies in stupid Windows 7.

 

brb in a few hours with new benchmark.

 

Edit: AMD till death.

 

Edit: And I always do use the latest beta drivers from Nvidia. Like I said, I'll be back soon with a whole new benchmark.

I know, it looks like he took a crayon copy of the R* emblem and there's a big white pile of crap (or a d1ldo) next to the R.

 

I'll show you MY resistance and NOT put that as my sig.

Are you kidding me!?!?!

 

Not 1 person in this thread has the knowledge to see the most obvious?

 

Bro. Look at your System memory usage. its in the 90% range.

 

What do you have like 1.5g-2g or ram or something?

Upgrade that sh*t and make it at least 4gb of ram.

 

 

There.

 

/Fixed.
