After reading all the posts (took about an hour) I'm sold in getting the patch. Screw my download limit!

 

I recently upgraded Forceware from 180.48 to 181.22 and saw noticeable increase from occasional <20 FPS to occasional 23+ FPS, and averaging at 30 - 35 FPS, which is great. Thnx nVidia.

 

In the meantime, here is a benchmark I did with patch 1.01 and Forceware 181.22. I will upload a benchmark that has patch 1.02 installed later. The benchmark clip is an explosion at a gas station with plenty of cars involved. See specs in sig.

* Graphics Menu:

o Added "Water Quality", "Shadow Quality" and "Reflection Resolution" sliders in graphics menu.

o Added "Definition" and "VSync" toggles in graphics menu.

 

 

f*cking props to Rockstar. I haven't tried it yet but still, nice effort.

32MB is only bunch of clownjokes.

If a patch is under 200mb, I dont except any optimize/boost.

Do you even have a fraction of a clue how long it takes to put together a patch like that..... ? or even a fraction of a clue what your talking about ?

The patch changed some of my keys inc entering vehicle & the one I use for entering trains etc, + some others for some reason, just tried the cable car which is on Algonquin alongside the bridge to colony island

I've finally got GTA IV and was playing with 9-15FPS in the middle island as average to what fraps is saying. then I got this patch and it runs the game pretty much at a constant 20-22FPS. BUT I cant do missions because it freezes the game sad.gif
