Thomas1996 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Help! Sometimes when i play GTAIV, i have pretty annoying lag spikes, while my PC is good enough for this game. Specs: AMD Athlon X4 640 (4CPU's) 3,0Ghz 4GB RAM AMD Radeon HD 6700 2550MB 1360x768(32-bit) Windows 7 Ultimate My in-game settings: Video Mode: 1360x768(60Hz) Aspect Ratio: 16:10 Texture Quality: High Reflection Quality: High Water Quality: High Shadow Quality: Very High Night Shadow: High Texture Filter Quality: Anistropic x16 View Distance: 45 Detail: 60 Vehicle: 60 Def.: On VSync: On Resource Usage: 906:1010MB Also i did the can i run it test on game-debate.com, and it gave me a gold ticket, it said i could use high settings. So, whats wrong? Why am i having these frame rate drops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't accept that some punk site saying you can play GTA 4 well. Why don't just try to go for medium? Try the Benchmark Tool and tell us what is your avg. fps. If you are using Fraps while playing GTA 4, then your game's fps will be -2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Your PC is too weak for max shadows and night shadows. System requirement sites give you a load of bullsh*t and then some if you are testing your system for GTA IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exxon Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 What they are saying is that you should turn Night Shadows Off, maybe the Shadow Quality to Medium and the Distances to 30 or a tad lower. Your system is fine for (low to) medium gaming, but not high and especially not GTA IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansgas1000 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Turn night shadows off. I think your GPU is holding back a bit, you may want to upgrade to maybe a GTX 560 Ti or GTX 570 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
