Strange lag issue with GTA 4

Hey folks,

I just bought GTA 4, as it is a budget title meanwhile.

 

I patched GTA 4 to 1.0.7.0 and everything went fine during the first couple of minutes, than every few seconds and especially when I was sitting in a car, the graphics froze, but not the whole game as e.g. the radio kept playing. After I waited a little while (10-30 sec) the game went on just normally.

 

 

 

I guess it is some issue with my graphics card but, what issue?

 

I run:

Core I7 920 @3.8 GHz 60°C inGame

MSI GTX 260 OC Edition 75°C in Game

12GB OCZ Ram

120GB OCZ SSD Vertex 2

 

My settings are all set to high except the vision @ 1920*1200 resolution.

 

Hope you folks can help me,

best regards,

parad

I assume your GTX 260 has the standard 896 MB of video memory, so

 

896 x 1024 x 1024 = 939524096

 

In notepad, type in

 

-memrestrict 939524096

 

save it as commandline.txt, go to your Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV folder and put the commandline file in that folder

Lol, I get weird lag's too, Like the game run's fine but when I get in a car the car like randomly stops when driving for like a good 2 second's and then continues.
