christinme7890 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 hmm i have a 9800gtx and a amd 6000+ and it runs around 44 average fps on medium as well. I am also going to guess i spent less than you on processor. Don't neglect amd, their cpus are great. I am awaiting my phenom2 to come in and I will be happy. It isn't intel that is great it is the 4 cores that the game requires that makes the game run smooth and nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thales100 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) I am awaiting my phenom2 to come in and I will be happy. The new Phenom II looks like a winner, at least according to some tests like the one published by guru3d.com . Btw imo its the first quad by AMD that could be compared to the c2q from Intel.

nvr2fst Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) YES YES YES YES YES YES !!!!!! I knew this game looked good! I said it before I upgraded to the Quad even with the framerate issues!! I feel so bad for the people that cant see the real game! It looks awesome. I have NO framerate issues at all now. No other issues either! They aint lying when they recommend a Quad! It is absolutely night and day different now! I was kinda worried that it wouldnt make much difference but I am estatic! If it worked or not I would use the Quad for everything else so it wouldnt have been a waste. My wife isnt even mad for me spending the money after she saw me run like a little kid to the living room, interrupted her movie and had her come look! She was amazed too! She asked what exactly it was that I replaced (explained PC hardware to her many times but she just doesnt remember each part) I told her the Processor and showed her the old one and said it looks like this. "$300 dollars for that little thing"? I said but babe you could spend over a thousand on one of these little things. "So your telling me that that little thing is making your game run THAT much better"? I says.....YUP! She said she was expecting something the size of my 8800GTX. Hell I dont even have the fastest memory. Upgrade people Anybody want a core2 duo 2.4? Hehe, how much? Amazon is selling for $195 (E6600) ??????? I didnt buy the E6600 2.4. I bought the Q9550 2.8 Edited January 22, 2009 by nvr2fst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvr2fst Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) After the Processor and memory upgrade I have been playing at an average of about 40 FPS. Spikes up to 60 and drops no lower than 32. This is without shutting down services or anything. I dont like to have to do that when I play games. If it dont run with the usual OS apps and such running it will be time for me to upgrade. I dont like to tweek to play. I just get what I need to give me the headroom. To this day I have not tried any of the command file changes. Really not interested. The game is running beautifully now.

Sounds good, i like the farclp 3500 and the motion blur tweaks, they make GTA 4 look even better imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
