FPS problem :(


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody!

 

I have ACER 5930G laptop:

Processor: Intel ® Core2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.00GHz (800MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 cache)

Display: 15.4" WXGA Acer CrystalBrite LCD (8 ms/220-nit)

Video card: Geforce 9600M GT 512 MB VRAM

Memory: (RAM): 4.00 GB DDR2

HDD: 320 Gb

System type: 32-bit Operating System Windows Vista Ultimate SP1

 

Running CacheBoost helped me, but not enough to be satisfied. My ingame settings:

 

Video Mode: 1280x800 (60 Hz)

Texture Qual: Low

Reflection Res.: Off

Water Qual.: Low

Shadow Qual.: Off

Texture Filter Quality: Low

Resource Usage: 291/491 MB

View Distance: 24

Detail Distance: 36

Vehicle Density: 24

Shadow Density: 2

 

As you can see I have the latest patch and very low settings! Nevertheless, I still have lag!!!

 

Explain me please what's the problem and is there any way to solve this problem?

 

Thanks!

Lower the resolution and view distance. That is all I can suggest. You really can't expect too much from a laptop. confused.gif

Both the processor and the mobile graphic card are letting you down.

When I checked my system requirements on "yougamers" everything was on recommended level except processor, which was in boundary between minimum and recommended requirements. whatsthat.gif

that isntt hat trustworthy.

 

Your cpu nearly exceeds the minimum but its a laptop, so you can take some ghz off, same for the graphicscard, you can take some performance oof too, so afterall your laptop is under the minimum.

Some people can run GTA IV even with "weaker" PC (laptops) having satisfactory FPS.

I'd like to know how is it possible? monocle.gif

The same way people with stronger PC builds can't even get the game to work. Don't compare configuration and performance of your PC with others. Due to the "shaky" optimization of GTA IV, performance will vary drastically on multiple PCs with the same configuration.

 

The most you can do in your case is to lower all settings down to their bare minimum.

run it at 320x240

 

in you're commandline.txt add the lines

 

-width 320

-height 240

 

you might need the -norestrictions command as well, it wouldnt hurt if you added it tho

 

 

I know it sounds stupid but you can keep going up in resolution until you find a balance between performance and graphics

With most games resolution isn't a problem with performance, not saying all but some. Not really checked with GTA but you may want to have a look also. Try and change all your graphics card settings in your CONTROL PANEL for your graphics settings to LOW. Remove all Anti-Aliasing etc... When ever I put on AA I always got LOW fps even on CSS.

I'm on recommended value. My processor speed only fails (minimum), but I can't play even on low settings!!! cry.gif FPS too high! 1-4 FPS!!! Ridicules! Something definitely wrong here. I'll try to reinstall my op system from vista 32 bit to 64. I hope this will make some changes, cos 32 bit system use only up to 3 Gb of op memory (I have 4). Keep you posted. dozingoff.gif

Your processor is not so good, and if you want to play with a playable framerate: lower your resolution and set the view distance, detail distance, vehicle density and shadow density on 1. wink.gif

E7400 Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz

IG31 Asrock

4GB DDR2 800MHz

500GB, 16MB cache

GeForce 9800GT 512M, 256bit

 

Will this desktop computer handle it? I'm thinking to bye one dozingoff.gif

Yes maybe on low to medium graphics, also get the 64bit version of Vista to use all the 4GB of RAM, not 32bit.

 

However I would wait for Windows 7 if I were you.
