LUK4 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Heres my deal, my specs are: ASUS Maximus IV Gene z/gen 3 Intel i7 2600k @3.40Ghz 8GB of Kingston hyperx RAM GTX 560 1GB GDDR5 When benchmarking i get this: Average FPS: 60.75 Duration: 37.13 sec CPU Usage: 64% System memory usage: 33% Video memory usage: 100% Graphics Settings Video Mode: 1920 x 1080 (60 Hz) Texture Quality: High Shadow Quality: Very High Reflection Resolution: Very High Water Quality: High Texture Filter Quality: Anisotropic x16 Night Shadows: High View Distance: 50 Detail Distance: 100 But while playing, using Fraps my fps goes around 30, often even dropping to 20...If i put shadow quality to High i can get +5 fps... Yea i know gta iv is just a bad port and its never going to run smooth, but really? is it possible that its this bad? And is there anyone playing on similar rig? What's yours experience?

lydianduck Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Yes, it is possible that it's that bad. The benchmark is completely useless, and on my end ([email protected], GTX680) it drops to 20's as well when using max settings on populated areas when raining and exploding things, it's just the way it is, just dial down your settings a little bit (especially the sliders and night shadows), and try to raise your minimum fps to 40 or something like that.

unc13bud Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 you using fraps, thats almost like using a mod for the game. very unpredictable, in my opinion. ask around the net for guys that are recording gta iv successfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lydianduck Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 He's using fraps to measure framerate, not to record, so his performance should be intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-ru Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 There is a some rules and programs if you want smooth gameplay from this poorly optimazed game: Update the games to the last patch 1.0.7.0 IV and 1.1.2.0 EFLC Read about memrestrict command from Here. Clean up your windows registry. Programs that you must have: Updated GFWL (Games for windows Live). Net Framework 4.5. Microsoft visual C++ 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012 (You must install all of them!!!) Updated DirectX. You can find them easy from Google. If you do all this things, I'm sure that you'll get the smooth gameplay. Turn off ingame Syns; lower Reflection Resolution to High; Detail distance (50-60) and Shadow quality - High, also lower a bit Video Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
