danjodan Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 This is really interesting. Iv never heard of someone getting 60fps at max settings before,even on good hardware.What fps do you get with night shadows on? What patch are you using?

yoječ Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 It's just benchmark, it has barely anything to do with the real game. Don't expect 60fps in the game, more like 30-40fps.

Oaty Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Yep. 5700 series does not have anywhere near enough VRAM to process those settings (shadows very high, sliders 100) at even 30fps! So this 'result' is bullsh*t, probably edited while posting.

AngryGamer94 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 The benchmark is broken.Don't use it. Play the game and see what frame rates you'll get with those settings. Even my 580 gets 15-40fps outside on max settings(cpu is bottlenecking the card because it runs on stock) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/466314-never-though/?do=findComment&comment=1060271325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinky12 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Why is Texture quality set to high rather than very high? Where is vehicle density? Why is Night shadow disabled? This is not max setting and nothing but a stupid topic to show off your new specs which I find a bit boring as Intel Sandy Bridge is right around the corner.

yoječ Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Why is Texture quality set to high rather than very high? ...because there is no Very High setting for textures, or my copy of GTA4 lacks that feature somehow.

mkey82 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Just as a warning before you all get juiced up, I have seen a video (as far as I'm concerned a legit one) the guy made with his camera while fraps measured FPS - he was doing above 60FPS on a (IIRC) 8800 on med-high settings, couldn't believe it, but his game ran great.

Vicetopia Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I remember seeing 60fps on GTX 280/285 cards back when the game first launched. They were gameplay screenshots taken via FRAPS.

Girish Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Most computers can get 50FPS+ maxed. You'll probably want to reconsider this statement. $100 CPU $130 GPU 50FPS maxed at 1280x1024. That's all nice and dandy, but people with better hardware have struggled to get the game running at a decent fps. What mkey82 is trying to say is that you cannot guarantee what fps you'll get with what kind of hardware. Such has been the dilemma amongst PC gamers when it comes to GTA IV.

mkey82 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 What I'm trying to say is that he's full of sh*t. a. "most computers" these days are multimedia machines. When taking in account the inherent (usually) longevity of hardware, there are many older machines that do their tasks well (internet, multimedia, work) while being inadequate for gaming purposes. Hence, most PC's today can NOT max out GTAIV at 50 FPS. b. implying that GTAIV can be maxed out on 1280x1024 is as sad as it is ridiculous, that resolution is archaic by today's standards.

yoječ Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Not to mention that benchmark very often shows higher framerate that it is in real game. For exaple on my rig (X3440 + GTX470) I get slightly above 50fps in benchmark (1680x1050 maxed out), while in game FPS stays around 30fps.

mkey82 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I usually had about 38FPS average in game, with around 45FPS in the benchmark. If anything, it's consistent as it gives you usually a too high value.

jnzooger Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Night shadows are equivalent to the old shadow system, but only when the sun is down ingame. In other words, the engine doesn't use the new shadows at night, so they renamed the old ones for night.

In other words, the engine doesn't use the new shadows at night, so they renamed the old ones for night. The game does use shadows at night, to an extent. Night shadows give objects dynamic shadows when casted by lights at night. They are extremely CPU intensive, but you get to see your headlights casting shadows from objects on the ground for example.

Like the shadow density setting, on my machine it made absolutely no difference whether I set it to max or zero, it always rendered the same amount of shadows, I would only lose about 10-15 FPS Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/466314-never-though/?do=findComment&comment=1060275477 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevetrackboyz Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yes I do agree with yall, I believe ArtG818 but not the part that he's playing at 60 fps. I agree that his rig dont get lower than 30 fps, mine doesn't either. The only way to get it to stay at 60fps for me is to play without no mods (boring). My rig stay between 30 to 59. His i7 could keep him up there also but not stable, it took me my gtx 570 sli to my 460 to max some setting but not even all the way. I also had to build my PC from scratch. Here's some of my shot...
