jokaplaya78 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 It lags alot on TLAD but not at all on BGOT, don't know why it didn't lag at all on gta iv.Any of you guys know why.My laptop details Intel Core i3-330M NVIDIA GeForce GT 320M 1 GB,1 GB VRAM 4GB RAM 500 GB HDD Windows 7 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/469871-how-to-fix-gta-eflc-lag/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo440 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) "48:16:8" and "128bit" probably doesn't help..tried 1024x768 and lowering settings? EU configuration and bus width is what actually matters on the graphics hardware level. Your CPU is 2-core-4-thread and has L3, so it's obviously not the problem.

diablo440 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I will do that thanks.Are my laptop details alright for gta?.When it rains on tlad it lags a bit more. Yeah cause rain consumes more GPU and CPU cycles, specially texture mapping processor on GPU, the calculations to keep it out of cars and rooms, and to make collision effects in line of site, like on car hood, is done on on CPU. GTA doesn't do physics on GPU, nor does Euphoria, hence why more CPU threads help. Just pick a resolution and adapt density and quality settings to get the frames you want. The core configuration and GPU memory bus is the real bottle-neck. It's a laptop card though. If you're lucky it's MXM based and you can upgrade. All in all you should be able to manage 25+ FPS avg at 1024x768 by keeping background software killed and settings right.

mkey82 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Which version of GTAIV? Try lowering the shadow quality, that one can hurt performance a lot.

mkey82 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 EFLC TLAD i put shadows off it helps alot thanks. No, I meant which GTAIV version ran for you normally? I assume it was some older patch, before patch 6. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/469871-how-to-fix-gta-eflc-lag/#findComment-1060343656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to lower the quality to sh*tty because the highest resource setting I am able set the game to 454/489MB and this is just on pc. Get a 256bit+card with at least 1GB. IV and EFLC with max settings at 1080i/p is around 1.3*GB VRAM. 1024x768 and 1280x960 resolution with at least medium settings should do fine on your system if it's PCIe based graphics no matter the EU configuration at 128bit with 512MB VRAM. I find 4:3 based resolutions like those look way better than widescreen ones, maybe it's just me. You can also use commandline.txt and have gta use all vram, and use something like game booster to kill software hogging cpu cycles. Killing services helps a lot, those are what are behind svchost.exe in task manager, which usually take up 10%+ cpu on average. Kill as much running software as possible when gaming. All software uses shares of cpu execution cycles and threads. GTA will get more access thus increasing frame rates.

unc13bud Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 i think rockstar Toronto's lazy as didn't do nothing but overlay the polygon shaders on top of GTA IV's engine, that is why it requires an additional 16gb of disk space. thus it requires the computer CPU to calculate more also Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/469871-how-to-fix-gta-eflc-lag/#findComment-1062496902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
