the reason for the crappy pic was to show how my shadows look, i can also do textures but i prefer having nice shadows and medium textures, if you want to see a different scene just ask and i will take a screenie

GTA IV works perfectly and beautifully on my PC. I know the PC version is hell of a lot better than the PS3 version. When I played the PS3 version, it was horrible, just horrible. The PC version definitely offers higher-resolution images. On PS3, crash physics are horrible. PC has much more sophisticated technology.

 

I have Intel Core 2 Duo E4300, ATi Radeon HD 2600 XT, 3 GB DDR2 RAM inside a Dell.

To be honest the only thing great about my pc is the processor because my graphics card isn't the best out there!

But i am very satisfied with the results and how the game looks

Why do u have definition on, and shadow quality very high? Definition looks crap, and no matter what "quality" the shadow is, it's still too grainy. I'd increase view and detail distance a bit as well. But don't take my word for it; whatever floats ur boat...

 

It's also a shame ur monitor only supports up to 1024 x 768, because it runs faster and looks a lot better at 1280 x 720 and above.

Reminds me of when I was trying to play the latest games with my first computer and its integrated SiS solution (5 times worst then intel 895/910) and my 256mb ram.

 

Good work ++++

 

P.s. you can probably get more frames by installing the Xliveless mod from the forum. In your case it could get u up to 20fps average. Well, could, emphasis on that.

good joke. it will NEVER look good unless there is AA and AF.

There is AF, you nimrod. Really, it's March and some people still don't know what the options do?

 

Makes your entire opinion null and void. Have you even been in the options screen before? Do you own the game?

 

I contend you don't even know what AF is. Because if you had raised Render Quality and watched what it does, you'd have noticed what it does, and that it's AF. Since you obviously didn't, you probably don't know what AF is. They could probably have tricked you into thinking there was AF just by giving you a dummy slider that didn't actually do anything.

 

Don't complain unless you know what you're complaining about. You sound like another sad product of mainstream marketing, being told what to care about by the industry without actually knowing what any of it is.

 

It's like this whole HD bug, it's a disease of stupidity. "If it's not HD it's automatically garbage! I refuse to play anything that's not 1080p!" Are you 13? Was your first game Far Cry? Come on.

 

Games are about having fun, and people who keep a magnifying glass at their computer desk so they can pause the game every two seconds and inspect every pixel of the current frame should find another hobby, because they'll never be happy. Ever.

 

I just get sick of all the complaints about GTAIV. Like it raped everyone's moms or something.

Sure, but you also resized it to 760x500 so it automatically smoothed itself a little during the resize. tounge.gif

 

But I don't give a crap, it'd look fine without AA and not resized. I care about how the game looks in motion, and if it animates smoothly, not about still shots. And even then, I care about how fun the game is to play above all else.
