juscal Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Just finished building a brand new gaming rig, and I am currently installing Vista. My specs are as follows: Intel Core 2 Quad q8200 4GB RAM 250GB HDD Gigabyte ATI HD4850 Gigabyte mobo I have a copy of GTA IV, and I am wondering, what FPS can I expect if I have the resolution set to 1680 x 1050 and settings set to med/high?

Quemical Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Should do pretty good. I get an avg of 25 fps with my system. The FPS spike to 35 or so on occasions and goes to 60 at the edge of the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreddpool Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 i agree 25+ FPS i have similar system except for the Ati card , i have Nvidia 9600gt instead, and i get between 26-32 fps out side and 35-40fps indoors, have never gotten 60fps before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelated Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 It's funny how people with top of the line quad core rigs and people with low to midrange quad core rigs get about the same FPS. Also when I put textures to high or medium there is no difference in frame rate. Setting them to low gives a noticeable improvement but nothing radical and it looks so awful on low that I don't bother. I get around 30-35FPS with high textures, highest render and a draw distance at 20 with some dips into the 20's on occasion. Still you would think a game like GTA that is supposed to be multithreaded would scale with more powerful CPU's. It just doesn't though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anus Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 No one can say for sure as it depends on a lot of factors. But I can safely say that it'll be perfectly playable. But this is assuming you don't run into some problems like the game randomly running slow, so like I said before, we can't say for sure. These are only assumptions. You have to play to know.

juscal Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ok, Vista was running into problems so I'm using Windows XP. Got IV sitting infront of me, and I'm about to put the disk in. Wish me luck on getting 25+ fps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badguy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Its perfectly playable. I have the same rig except for gpu, mine is a Geforce 9500gt 1GB. Put these settings on gta medium high or very high 33 40 2 Also the reolution makes a big difference in fps. I have a 22" widescreed 16:9 monitor and I have my reolution at 1280x720(60Hz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juscal Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 It is running great on my computer. Fairly smooth gameplay. I will do a benchmark test shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think so, are you sure ? Its important to check if there is no bottleneck in the top of the line quad core rigs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juscal Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Not sure why my processor comes up as "Intel Pentium III Xeon processor" when it's a quad core Q8200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anus Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Its just a problem with the game not being able to detect the processor properly. I get the same with my E5200. Doesn't affect performance . Oh and be careful when using the -norestrictions command, most people got missing textures when using that command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juscal Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah, I also found that -norestrictions was causing my FPS to drop. Or it might have been vidmemory 2.0 that did that. Also, is anyone having trouble with massive shadows flickering across the screen? They look like skyscraper shadows, but only flash a few times before dissappearing.

anus Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah, the shadows flickering too is quite a common problem. Nothing can be done to fix it AFAIK as its just how the game was made. I recommend you try the commands from the memory leak fix topic too. It really boosted my FPS and stopped the memory leak from happening. Really worth it. Just remember to not use -memrestrict, -norestrictions, -availablevidmem or -percentvidmem with the command though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is anyone having trouble with massive shadows flickering across the screen? They look like skyscraper shadows, but only flash a few times before dissappearing. flickering shadows\textures is a result of low memory usage, "-availablevidmem x.xx" (x.xx is bigger then 1) should solve it but may cost framerate drop.
