pery Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Hey, i've just installed a legal version of gta4. I have that BIG problem with shaders. It shows up like : You do not have Shader Model 3.0 DD3D60 I've heard that there is a fix for that. I am posting my specs here: MSI VR610X AMD Athlon X2 1.8 GHz ( thats dual core, i've installed Dual Core optimizer) ATi Radeon x1200 128mb (yes yes, but there's hyper memory so i have 700 megs of vram) 15,4" screen 1280x800 ( i can even play on 640x480 that doesn't matter) 2GB of RAM I just want to run it on even 15 fps, just to play it. Thanks for help. Pery EDIT: Thanks for moving that topic Edited January 29, 2009 by pery Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/395098-shaders/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can most likely upgrade your laptop, actually, but probably not in a way that would allow you to run GTA IV. Does your laptop meet the requirements of the game?

Lioshenka Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 You can't with 128 Mb of video memory. I had similar Nvidia card and got 7 FPS so it's not worth it. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/395098-shaders/#findComment-1058923738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pery Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well the cpu is a bit slower than the minimums but the biggest fail on my gpu is shaders. Otherwise it should run cause i can have 700 megs of ram with it as my ccc says.

logitechdog Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 you gfx does not support shader model 3.0.... and you can upgrade to a new laptop, since you can not do the same as a desktop no one can help you, without writing a emulator for shader 3.0... but then your comp would be too slow to run it in software anyway... would need a quad to run it Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/395098-shaders/#findComment-1058923754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor_ Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I personally wish R* had made this game more flexible with system specs. There's really very little reason NOT to design a game with this many components to be totally flexible. Even if someone has to turn peds down to 5% and cut view distance off to one island at a time, there is really NO reason this game couldn't scale to be played on just about any modern computer. That said, they built it for the 360 and assumed that most modern comps would be able to play it. Not true, the game is much more dependent on high end hardware than it should be. The fact that you NEED a Quad Core just to get decent FPS (solid 30+) is a sign of how far wrong they were. So what I'm saying is, if you had a Dual Core and Oc'd it, and you had a decent video card, and the 2GB of ram was DDR800, I would say you could get the game going. As it is now, I don't think so.

CharmingCharlie Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 There are very few developers still supporting pixel shader 2.0. It is as old as ass and it's thanks to ATI that the PS 2.0 hasn't died sooner.

roypaci Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 You can't with 128 Mb of video memory. I had similar Nvidia card and got 7 FPS so it's not worth it. Bullsh*t...I play with my 8400m gt with 128mb dedicated at 16 average fps. T2370 dual core at 1.73ghz.
