ikt Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 ok so basicly i had gta4 pc running at a (fairly) stable 25-30fps while on windows xp on mostly high settings but ive switched over to windows 7 now and ever since i reinstalled gta4 ive never gotten a playable fps Here are my Specs: Processor: Pentium® Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz (2 CPUs), ~1.6GHz Memory: 4096MB DDR2 System RAM Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 4670 + 512MB DDR3 Dedicated RAM Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_rtm.090713-1255) Motherboard: ASUS P5Q SE/R now if i run Gta4pc on lowest of low settings aka : 800x600 textures on low ect ect. i get an average of 15fps while outside and in a hevey firefight around 8fps -_- But heres the thing i put all the settings on Ultra high as maxed out as possible i Still get the same fps 15outside around 8in a firefight Now im no Wissard but theres something Wrong here .. Yes ive turnd Vsinc off as im not Completely that dull but still the same result ive tryed multible fixs/patchs/reinstalls and still nothing i used to be able to make gta4 videos back on xp and record at a desent fps with fraps going but not now it seems so im thinking its something to do with windows7 or it trying to run like dx10 or 11 but i see no difference from when i had xp... i dunno what i did on my xp copy to get good fps but whatever i did there i want to be able to do here... heres a quickly done video back when i had xp : im stumped and need your help for my future machinima ideas =/ i no its a Horrible port from the console to pc but none the less i have no idea how to get a stable fps back... Install a dualboot of Windows XP again on your machine. I can't think of anything else. It's highly unpractical. And takes up space. And you can't 'just start' GTA IV. But have you already tried the tweak? I suggest turn off all gibberish from Windows 7. I use game booster to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hn333 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 so what do your guys think? it's better to play GTA 4 on WinXP or Win7? Get a Xbox or a PS3. PC's aren't meant to be game machines anymore. The Windows OS does way too many things in the background that degrades game performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEAH LOL LIKE THE CONSOLES PLAY GTA IV AT 25FPS MAX AND 10FPS WHEN HEAVY sh*t IS GOING ON LOLOLOLOLOL THEY'RE BETTER. No. Consoles are far worse. The only thing that's better about them is easy access and being social (playing new games with friends who don't have enough money for a 700 euro PC, but do have for a 200 euro xbox). But besides that, PC's will always be superior. Far better textures, high framerates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so I'm a "Troll" because I would rather play the game trouble free on a console than spending my time pulling my hair out getting a Xbox PC port to work right. Well I guess I'm a troll then. The funny thing is I don't even own a Xbox or a PS3 and I only have GTA4 on the PC because it was cheaper than spending 300 + bucks just to play a video game. Although I've already decided that when the next GTA game comes out I'm going to be playing it on a console. It beats spending hours on-line reading about system requirements, drivers, shadows, and the black magic voodoo you guys come up with to play the game. I just hope Rockstar learns from their mistake and forget about PC games, I'm pretty sure they lost money with this port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope Rockstar learns from their mistake and forget about PC games, I'm pretty sure they lost money with this port. Come on. COME ON. GTA IV actually hasn't got that many troubles. People are exaggerating. Installing the game doesn't take ages, it takes as much as it needs to copy the 15GB to the HDD. I don't hear people complaining about installing Microsoft apps, like Office. That's like 500MB's big and takes half an hour to install, not mentioning having to reboot. If you're finished with installing and know your PC can play this game (hard eh, looking at the back cover. people who complain about specs needed to run the game just haven't bought any other demanding game), you can launch it immediately. No need to install patches if your PC is sufficient enough. Just hit auto-configure and play at a nice framerate for a third person game. If the installing and starting the game is too much for you, you shouldn't own a computer. Or you're a pirate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me longer to read the manual. In my last post I was quoting what others here are saying. Just look at my sig, the game runs great on my PC with medium settings and shadows turned off. But I still rather play it on a console and relax. The only reason I got this game was because I saw it at walmart for 20 bucks, I just couldn't pass that up.

EduardKoeleJuck Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Okay, I tried this out, and the result was fairly good. I used to play this on 800x600 and everything on low, Now I play it on 1280x1024 with texture quality on high, rest on low, and I lost only 1 fps!

Well yeah.. technically all you did was fill up the video ram usage a little more; that isn't really going to eat your performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
