GamingKing10501 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Recently I bought a laptop with an intel i3 1115g4, intel UHD and 8 gb of ram. I looked up the recommended system requirements for gta iv and my laptop met them all, but when I booted up my game , the cutscene ran 5-8 fps. Whenever I'm outdoors the fps skyrockets, but in interior it runs like 10-15 fps. I tried adjusting the graphics and even set every thing to low, but the fps didn't budge. I Don't really know what to do, so if any of you have any tips, please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant_sh Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 You may try using DXVK, it is reported to work on Intel UHD. Also see Resource Usage in Graphics menu. The game should detect enough VRAM and if it doesn't then you should experiment with -availablevidmem ... in commandline.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont recommend using DXVK, it is really unstable, download directx 9 this will fix the lag by a lot. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UpiFzlXTzg6pjwNWET8tBEepvbjsksH4/view?usp=sharing. (installing this will do the same amount of fps boost and d9vk or dxvk but without the stuttering and sometimes crashing at cutscenes) then make a new txt file and name it commandline.txt or just commandline. type this into the commandline -nomemrestrict -norestrictions -noprecache -availablevidmem 30000 I have a very similar pc to yours with intel UHD graphics and close specs with same performance before applying these fixes. also in your game settings make sure your shadows are medium or below, i wouldnt use high shadows this is the settings i use Aspect ratio: 16:10 1280x720 or sometimes 1024x768 texture quality: medium shadow quality: medium night shadows: off anistropic filtering: tri-linear Draw distance: 21 detail distance: 10 vehicle density: 33 definition: off vsync: on If it still lags then try turning your shadows to off and put contrast low and brightness low (but not too low) Edited February 3 by Luis Vercetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if you are happy with d9vk by all means keep using it. 3 hours ago, Luis Vercetti said: download directx 9 this will fix the lag Don't make me laugh. DirectX 9 is a subset of later DirectX versions which have newer libraries so even if you run dxsetup it will finish OK but not update anything. It may be useful to run it to make sure that no libraries are missing and that's about it. It will not magically remove D3D9 low drawcall limit whereas DXVK can handle 10000-14000 drawcalls in Algonquin significantly better. Of course having a discrete GPU also helps and on an iGPU the difference is not so much visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA 4 only uses directx 9 if you use any other version it will simply just run without a proper graphics renderer. Also i 100% know for sure that it does fix the lag by the same amount that dxvk does. I didn't know about gta 4 using this version of directx and when i installed it, it went from 15-20 fps on shadow quality at LOW to 30-40 fps with shadow quality medium. DXVK is obviously a more modern fix and it does fix the performance by a bit more but its still not worth using since its so buggy even now. you can keep using DXVK but im just giving my advice for why you shouldn't bother using it.

On a correctly installed OS which has all DirectX libraries dxsetup will not copy anything. Your experience with DXVK is not universal. Does it have bugs? Of course it does as it is still in development. Is it as bad as you described? Not really. DXVK is rock solid for me on Win11 with RX580, it runs much smoother than default D3D9 and I honestly can't remember when my game crashed. But of course YMMV.

But of course YMMV. so you just assume that I completely installed windows incorrectly? thats not true at all i have two different pc's and have had the same results, one uses AMD and the other uses intel. DXVK isn't a total mess don't get me wrong but it is still unstable, so many times i have played in a cutscene and gta 4 would crash at times. oh yeah and i forgot to mention that i have factory default reset those pc's more than twice in the time that i have owned them, installed all drivers etc. Edited February 3 by Luis Vercetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
