GTA IV slow performance and troubleshooting

[frenzyvanrafi]

I got the performance problem on GTA IV, few month ago GTA IV ran smoothly but later stuttering happen. I had to set up the graphics to medium setting but still stuttering and even low setting still low FPS.

 

I have Zotac GeForce GTX 550 Ti and C2D E4500, it's not overheated (overheating cause throttling). What is the problem? Bottlenecked?

 

I want to troubleshoot the problem by OC, but I don't have sufficient component (such mobo and cooler) to OC so I have to buy new one. I will replacing crappy Asus P5KPL-AM SE to Abit IX48 (or other P45 mobo) with cheap price and new condition for temporary until I get Haswell!

 

Is OC was a good idea to solve performance lag for temporary?

deactivate auto-save and auto-recording options . set shadows on low or medium . check your screen resolution and be sure it use same refreshing as what is set in GTA . and eventually try another icc for the screen . are you using scripts or any mods

I use the commandline and some mods (like complete cheat and car mod)

as far as i know comandline thing is something that "forces" the settings . you may think your rig is more powerful than it is really . so personnally i recommand not to use this for performance . when you download a car mod you should check if the carcol is correctly set . if you have a three colors car installed in 4 colors section , that can be fps eater . if you are clearly above the game requirements try without the car you installed . don't know what is complete cheat thing but be sure not to have too much scripts running at the same time if you want good fps

you need quad core CPU or settings like this:

textures low (i don't care that your video card and operating system have conspired to fool gta IV auto configure to set the texture to high - socket 775 dual core Intel CPU has to be low for resolutions above 1024x768)

reflections off

water low

shadows low or off

distance slider 5 or 6

vehicles 0

patch #4

Hey! My mobo not like this! P5KPL-AM SE, I think you can't founding them

 

Well, I have to lowest setting but I only get low FPS (13 fps).

 

My HDD (game partition) was full, is it affecting this problem?

How to set carcol for best performance, some car drive weirdly. When I do turn, the car instantly flipped out

sounds now like your game is pirated, not only do you have a full hard drive (always leave some space), you have hard drive full of pirated games?

Well, I am honestly yes. I had moving some games to another partition to freeing hard drive space. But, after I using virtual memory the performance increased slowly. Stuttering slightly reduced.
