KPMont1234 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I get a slight lag in GTA IV when running in Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit. I have it installed on my iMac (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/imac?aid=AIC-WWW-NAUS-K2-BUYNOW-IMAC-INDEX&cp=BUYNOW-IMAC-INDEX) (the 21.5 in. 3.2 GHZ model) and I've tried the Disable Windows Event Log and Defragmetning the GTA IV Folder, but it still has the lag. I don't know what else to do. I think my computer is pretty decent for running games, but it still sucks with GTA IV. Also, no matter the Graphics Settings, it still lags. Ideas?

YankeesPwnMets Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 What are the rest of your specs? CPU, Graphics Card, RAM, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronHide-AW Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 ...Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit. I have it installed on my iMac...3.2 GHZ model...no matter the Graphics Settings, it still lags. Ideas? How many cores or total threads is your processor? IV is a CPU hog. 3.5+Ghz is best but it has to have at-least 3 execution paths so a quad-core or 2+2(HT). A dual-core with no HT will not cut it usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viometrix Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 EMULATING WINDOWS ON A MAC ALREADY KILLS PERFORMANCE. get a windows based pc with decent specs, problem solved. simply put macs are still not meant for gaming at this point...

KPMont1234 Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 These are my specs: Processor: 3.2GHz Intel Core i3 processor with 4MB level 3 cache; supports Hyper-Threading Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB RAM: 4GB (But only 2.99GB used in Windows 7) OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (SP 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viometrix Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 These are my specs: Processor: 3.2GHz Intel Core i3 processor with 4MB level 3 cache; supports Hyper-Threading - halfway decent Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB - not a gaming card and little ram by todays standards RAM: 4GB (But only 2.99GB used in Windows 7) - so its 32 bit windows? OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (SP 2) sp2???? sp2 ???? really? how as we do not have sp1 yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true. He is most likely running bootcamp, which is nothing more then a dual booting system, Windows 7 would have native access to the imac's hardware. That being said, the specs aren't great, but he should be able to run IV at lower settings without lag. Probably GPU drivers issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield 2 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 These are comparable except the CPU to my system which runs IV quite well somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
