spam4u Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 First off, here's my specs: CPU: AMD athlon II X4 645 Quad core processor 3.10 Ghz GPU: Ati Radeon 4650 HD 1GB GDDR 2 (driver version 8.872) Ram: 4GB DDR3 OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit etc Ever since I updated to 1.0.7.0, I can't seem to get GTA4 running smoothly. I experience very choppy gameplay, and I've tried the commandline fix, but it didn't seem to help. I even use a program during gaming called "GameBooster" which frees up extra resources while gaming. Even after a fresh install it would only run decently on 1024 x 768 res, with everything on low. Does my video card just plain suck or is there something else i can do?

radioman Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Since you have a lower end Video card, then Patch 4 would be the best patch for you, as from what I have read, Patch 7 is more of a resource hog then Patch 4...Patch 4 is best for people with lower end PC's...As I have a lower end video card(a ATI Radeon HD5470 w/512MB Dedicated vram), and with Patch 4, I actually got a 10-15fps boost over having NO patches....Just a heads up.

NaidRaida Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 radioman is right. The higher the patch, the higher the resource using is (same settings mean higher quality on newer patches, so: also more resources needed!) And: Yes, your video card sucks. Enough VRAM but less powerful GPU. I tried a HD 5770 1GB and was able to play with high textures and high shadows but without major mods like ENB. With my GTX460 it is okay also with mods.
