i bought the AMD Phenom II 940 3.0GHz Quad Core and i got a huge FPS increase, I'm running it at:

 

1680x1050, High, Very High, Very High, Very High, Highest, 100, 100, 100, 16

 

I'm getting 61.58 FPS I'm so impressed I'm a very satisfied customer.

First I don't know if I believe you, anyway, the 4870 1GB + great quad core is what GTAIV needs, you should be able to play CRYSIS on max settings (2 or 4 AA) just fine, you have a great rig, I may get something like this in the near future.

 

 

what is 512x2 in your sig???

Do you mean to have two 4870 512MB in crossfire?

 

what is your memory usage in max settings of 1680x1050?

any tweaks, mods?

i call BS on the initial post. we need proof.

 

oh by the way i just got 60FPS also on all VERY HIGH and view distance of 100 and detail of 100 and shadows MAXED and 16XAA

 

OP suicidal.gif

 

proof or it never happened. a 1gb card running 61 fps with view distance of 100 lol and everything maxed out rolleyes.gif

 

or MAYBE u saw the Fraps counter hit 61 fps ONCE lol indoors, looking at the ground suicidal.gifsuicidal.gif

looks that you are an idiot, you should have a 64bit to use your memory not just vista, even XP 64bit knows to do it!

note:I hate Vista, my 2GB is too low for many games.

Rapter changed his sig after I asked him in this thread about 2x512 MB in his sig, it was "HD4870 1 Gb 512x2 Mb", any answers?

It is Bs,here is another posted thread by raptor "Hello,

 

I just got my AMD Phenom 9950 Quad Core and I'm on 35 - 45 - 50 FPS now, 60 indoors.

If you have a Dual Core upgrade to a Quad Core if your getting poor performance even if you have a 512MB or 1GB card, 256MB users u need a new GFX card let alone a new CPU.

 

Doesn't' solve you're problems?

 

Post you're system specs and I'll try my best to help you

What a load of rubbish.

 

I mean, you have 6 gigs of RAM and still claim Vista is crap?

 

1. Do you even know what's the difference between 32 and 64 bit systems? Are you aware there is 64 bit XP?

2. Have you even tried Vista? It actually runs better then XP on new hardware.

the graphics card itself only shows 1 half of the memory i have the Palit Radeon Dual Edition, its 512MB X2 in side it but its 1024MB in total but doesn't show the entire amount

Well, its possible you have upgraded your CPU twice in one month to have a better GTA 4 experience, if its true welcome to the "60 FPS 1680 x1050 all maxed club".

But a 512 mb GPU cant, its impossible, to have this performance running the benchie, so if your 4870 isnt a effective 1 Gb VRAM card, your result is actually a bs.

That's it I call One Gaint BS, Rapter may be a troll, or a little rich kid that his dad works in AMD.

He said that he has 512MB of video memory and was able to get real 60 FPS on max settings, this is a lie, he needs some 1GB in one GPU to do it, he should have many missing textures with 512MB of VRAM on a maxed GTAIV.

 

He is a noob that don't know about what he is talking about, you decide which kind of noob, lier or idiot.

Hows that ? You have a 1 Gb single GPU with 2 x 512 mb that "doesnt show the entire amount" ? bored.gif

n00b bought an X2 and is still in denial about the amount of mem?

 

I know im banging on about it but if people are using the norestrictions command they will possibly get silly fps in the bench, especially with a 512mb card because even tho you have 1500mb of stuff selected in the options, it only (seems to me) displays 500mb of stuff at once causing major pop-in. I wouldnt call bullsh*t but i bet its not looking as pretty as the graphics settings make it out to be.

I think he is a noob before being a lier, cause when he planned to lie he should have changed his sig before posting this bs benchie, replacing the 4870 512x2 for a GTX 280 or something. wink.gif

You should have 50% VRAM of the total VRAM needed for GTAIV to have normal textures, in 20%-30% of effective VRAM you get many missing textures- and unplayable gameplay.

 

I looked to the:"Palit radeon HD 4870 1GB sonic dual edition"-this is not a dual card or mirror memory, it has only duel bios settings to choose from, rapter should see some 900MB in the usage, he said that he saw 512MB which make him a lier!!

I think that he wanted to lie about the AMD CPU performance as an AMD "fanboy", but as a noob lier he didn't know that for max settings he needs in adittion 1 GB of VRAM. cool.gif

Ludricous to be running X86 with 6GB of ram. That alone is enough to call this poster a troll. No one that knows only an inch of compters, would want to waste that amount of memory on XP X86 smile.gif

 

Old outdated OS, run vista X64 or you will never be taken seriously.
