The Ultimate Graphic Fix

It's been quite a while since I bought the PC version of GTA 4, but I was never really been able to really enjoy the game fully because of permanent texture stuttering and a million other graphic problems (no road texture, plain buildings, fps issues, etc.) and I left the game in middle. However, I really wished I could fix those issues so I kept on searching the community periodically and wasted so many of my hours playing with commandlines and in-game graphic settings(and after trying a million pathes and fixes)...The game felt horrible without any change even after so much effort....

 

Then recently I found my ultimate fix!!! and thought It would be a good idea to share it with you people too...

 

To begin I would like to say that it did not come out of my mind...I read it somewhere quite a while ago and it just popped up in my head one day..I tried and achieved success....All you have to do is put a commandline.txt as following:

 

-height "xxxx"

-width "xxxX"

-refreshrate 0

 

The last line is the most crucial part and "the real fix". It sets your monitor's refreshrate to 0!...Now before trying I would like to say that this fix is quite dangerous cause the guy who first told me the fix(i read somewhere) said that not all monitors support that command! Since I already tried so many stuffs and was die hard willing to play gta4 the way it's meant to be played(and also that my monitor was 6 months old so I thought it would support) I took the risk and to my surprise it fixed literally EVERYTHING!!! No more popping trees and all other bullsh*t!!! I suggest you try it at your own risk and I do not know anything about this. Put your respective height and width in place of "xxxx".

 

It would be great if someone could tell how that command fixes everything and the risks therein...

 

And yeah I would like to say that though the command fixes stuttering completely...It does nothing to fps....

My specs:

Zotac 9600 gt (unoverclocked)

2gb ram(800 mhz)

Intel core 2 duo 2.86 ghz

Samsung 20" monitor
