I'm new here at this site(well created an account las 2 months? and used it again now)

btw im not a professional at computers and tech stuffs but just give it a try (im 12 yrs old)..

 

first update you gta 4 to version 1.0.4.0 then just follow this instruction

 

http://www.tastethetech.com/2010/01/04/how...-on-low-end-pc/

 

and download the contig thing

 

and do this

 

WINDOWS 7/Vista

 

1. Press Win+R to open the Run dialog box.

 

2. Type SystemPropertiesDataExecutionPrevention and click 'OK'.

 

3. If prompted by UAC, click Continue.

 

4. Select the option 'Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:'

 

 

5. Click 'OK'.

 

6. Restart your computer.

 

 

------------------

 

 

WINDOWS XP

 

1. Go into the Start Menu and click 'Run'.

 

2. Type sysdm.cpl and click 'OK'.

 

3. Click the Advanced tab.

 

4. In the Performance box, click Settings and select the Data Execution Prevention tab.

 

5. Restart your computer.

then if you have nvidia graphics card do this on the nvidia control panel

 

Turn off VSync. It's the most performance costly.

 

Set texture filtering to High Performance

 

Multiple Display/GPU performance to Single Display Compatibility Mode

 

Negative LOD Bias to Clamp

 

Triple Buffering ON

 

Threaded Optimization ON

 

Extension Limit ON

 

Maximum Pre-Rendered frames to 8

 

install the ultimate graphics tweak

http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=386262&st=0

 

and choose the commandline that you like or try it both

 

-disableimposters

-minspecaudio

-forcehighqualitymirrors

-managed

-noswapdelay

-stereo

-noprecache

-norestrictions

-nomemrestrict

-availablevidmem 1.6

 

or

 

-novblank

-norestriction

-framelimit 1

-availablevidmem 3.0

-percentvidmem 100

-minspecaudio

-noprecache

-nomemerestrict

 

and go to msconfig and go to start up tab and click disable all then just check the ones you want to start when you switch your computer on ,download this put the gta 4 downgrader to the root folder and and put playerped.rpf in C:/.../Grand Theft Auto IV/pc/models/cdimages

 

btw when you play gta 4 go to task manager and set gta iv to high or realtime and if it says access is denied then press the see all processes and uncheck it again plus if you dont watch the videos in the main menu just end process the rgsc.and if you have an electric fan let the air come in the vent plus use a cooling pad... suicidal.giframpage_ani.gifdevil.gifcool.gif

Here is one thing I noticed: Your first in last paragraph you type like a six year old, but the instructions have correct punctuation, capitals, etc. Looks like a copy and paste job to me, but then again I might be wrong

friendly luggage

I find setting maximum pre rendered frames to 8 creates a delay when playing games. For example if I push a key on the keyboard, it will take like half a second to a second to respond. All this maximum pre rendered frames just makes the game look smoother at low framerates. This delay could be caused by my old CPU though confused.gif I find a maximum pre rendered frame limit of 3 the best for me.

It's obvious he's just pasted a load of tips from another site without actually realising what each does in order to get the extra couple of frames per second (if it does any difference to gaming performance).

well, while both of you dissecting his post several ways to Sunday, why don't you dissect the fact that he says he just 12 years old. give him a break and MOVE ON

if you don't think his method (or whoever he got it from) works, TELL him WHY and PROVE IT

Either way, he isn't legally allowed on these forums till he's 13 without COPPA verification from his parents.
