n3b0dy66 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Our video cards must be twins like that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger you running xp64? Yea, i tried 3 different os'es, that 3dmark06 score was with a 4.0ghz though. How exactly does 3dmark06 calculate the scores it doesn't seem right i do have a by far faster cpu score.

SlingShotUK Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) Right I've just updated from v1.0 to v1.0.2. Got an immediate jump from 38fps to 43fps so that's good - at least on benchmark. No idea if the first patch may have given these results as well though. The only thing is, I'm seeing more judder in cut scenes and indoor locations seem to be juddery as well. Outdoor it does feel smoother in places, a little juddery in others (although only slightly). Also, is it just me or is vaulting over fences etc now more fluid? In v1.0 when you were running and went to jump over a wall it would sometimes pause slight as Niko went to vault.. Now it seems very smooth without any kind of delay. This may just be me though. Love the improvement in water graphics - they look amazing, especially at night. I'm going to upgrade to the latest Nvidia drivers now (from 180.84 beta 1). Hoping this might improve the judder. Can confirm that direct input support is off by default. My wireless PS3 controller via the xbox 360 emulator DLL's is working a treat. Superb. Edited January 24, 2009 by SlingShotUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raythemovie Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 you people are a f*cking joke..go get an education you illiterate asses If you're going to call people illiterate, you could at least use capital letters and full stops. Clown. you keep on flaming and im sure as hell i will report you. Didn't you read what Charlie has posted? take your time reading a few pages back I'm flaming because you can't spell? I'm flaming because I made a point of your flame? Your a genius. And it's: "I'm, I, You, Take, back." - Some of your literacy mistakes again, clown. this isn't about spelling...if you want to talk about grammar skills then you should go back to school and discuss it over there.. oh, i was flaming? that's how you talk to the animals, example: you Wait wait wait, you started this by calling someone illiterate as you can see above ^^^ And now, you're telling me it's not about spelling? You don't see the contradiction there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to tell you bro were in the same boat *hands a life preserver* you got the same problem as me low performance. Though you don't have a i7 but my recommendation is overclock your proccesor you will get good results. let me get my 4.0ghz overclock bad real quick and i'll run the test again for you to see how much it would benefit. Let me know what type of overclock you think you could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you can be getting good fps when my rig is performing better then yours. What specs do you use when you game. Also i'm starting to believe that this game is GPU limited as well as cpu. But that would mean all the reviews and benchmarks i've see on this thread aren't true, and that can't be especially when a hardware review site confirmed itself that gpu barely plays a role. It makes no sense, unless there video cards were maybe factory overclocked, i'm going to overclock the sh*t out of my video card right now, luckily for me this b!tch can do atleast 100mhz+ core increase guaranteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What settings did you set everything to exactly are you using -norestrictions? Also what core clock shader clock and memory clock is your 9800 GT set to i'll Overclock it to yours and run bench again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defuser Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I've mentioned this over in troubleshooting, but this patch fixed for me the lack of/glitching dynamic shadows bug on my HD4870X2. Night looks and feels considerably different when running under streetlights and seeing your shadow stretch out in front of you. Awesome. Things NOT fixed by this patch: My pathetically short clip capture length (12 or so seconds) Instability with clip capture enabled (out of memory error constantly) Apart from that, I'm enjoying very much the latest updates.

TruXter Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 With everything turned down and with Vsync turned on I gained 10+ fps. 40 flat fps. perfect, exactly what I manually had to do with my tweaking, but I used to only get 30 fps. took a hit to the resolution. plus I see an oddity. I see that in benchmark I am now getting 97% cpu usage Instead of the 86% I was seeing before. I hope that just means that 97% of the weight is being toted by my cpu.

Thats good fps i can't wait any longer for my GTX 280 to come please be tomorrow. Probably gonna get sli in a week. What kind of fps are you getting ingame, i seen videos with people 3.6ghz i7 getting 60-fps in game with insane settings =| it just doesn't make sense. You should be getting the same.

comatosedragon Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Statistics Average FPS: 13.47 Duration: 37.49 sec CPU Usage: 94% System memory usage: 64% Video memory usage: 37% Graphics Settings Video Mode: 1024 x 768 (60 Hz) Texture Quality: Medium Render Quality: Very High Reflection Resolution: Medium Water Quality: Medium Shadow Quality: Low View Distance: 26 Detail Distance: 51 Definition: Off VSync: Off Hardware Microsoft® Windows Vista" Home Premium Service Pack 1 Video Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT Video Driver version: 181.22 Audio Adapter: Speakers (SB Audigy) Intel® Pentium® D CPU 3.20GHz Unfortunatley, I don't have a benchmark of the pre-patch performance. I was running in 800*600 mode just to have a good "feel". Not so much staggering and stuttering if you know what I mean. Any notch above 800*600 though, and I could feel the drain. Character movement was slow, and although at times bearable, I had to lower it to 8*6 to get that feeling of "speed". Since I can now play in a higher resolution, I guess I can say the patch had some effect. However, being the greedy sob that I (and many here it seems) am, I want to squeeze as much out as I can. I notice that my System memory usage is only 64% (4GB with vista 32, so like 3.5 or whatever vista recognizes); and my Video Memory usage is at 37%. I AM using, however; availablevidmem 1.7 and -percentvidmem 100, so I guess these figures may not be entitely accurate. I do realize that an 8500 is not a true "gaming card"; and a Dual Core processor is not optimal. But, I feel I can play the game for the most part) enjoyably, and it looks better than 360 version on a SD tv. I know many of you will laugh at those low frame rates, but what suggestions do you have for improving it? Also, what exactly does the new "Definition" setting do? btw, My other settings are: Vehicle Density 50 (Would love to go higher); Shadow density OFF.

I wouldn't agree at the moment, if you look at my other threads and this one you will see results are now mixed about wheather gta is CPU hungry beast, because i have a core i7 at 4.0ghz and i'm getting crap performance so were trying to figure this out right now and debunk this CPU only story, cause it isn't looking likely atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
