Recommended Posts

im currently on the phone to R* and they aint got a sodding clue why its so low, the guy on the phone said that my machine is more than good enough

You should of link that guy to GTAforums.

Some of the guys there get the same performance as you, with twice the power. And you just got to love the maximized graphic quality on the PC version.

Looks worse than the XBOX360 version.

well i just got off the phone and they tried to blame my processor a 3ghz processor!! then they turned around and said that 'they' class 20fps playable!! what a crock of ****

the guy who i spoke to classed himself as a hardcore gamer and he admitted that he has been playing games at 20fps for years!! that made me laugh!

The AMD Athlon X2 6000+ is quite poor in terms of performance these days to be honest. Man, we really need quad-core processors :(

im sorry but thats just taking the ****, for god sake FC2 is fully maxed out with DX10 and i get well over 35fps, Crysis DX10 playable at 30fps, GTA DX9 NOT PLAYABLE at 20fps!

Yeh, should certainly be getting higher framerates than that. Post a screenshot of your in-game settings.

sure 1 sec

Everything is set quite low yet you're still getting poor framerates? Sounds like there is an issue somewhere. Put up with it for a few days, and I can assure you a new NVIDIA/ATI graphics driver or game patch is released.

I'll be getting the game tomorrow - I'll report what performance I get on my system (Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, 4 GB PC2-6400 memory and a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 320 MB (Superclocked)).

just looked into the picture

it use 400/768 vram on low setting@1068 X 768

i am really screwed then

He's running it at 1280x1024 in low-medium detail.

I have to say though, the memory usage is certainly worrying; I only have a 320 MB card :(

It's clearly a bad port form console to PC. They need to address this ASAP. It seems like the game is relaying only on VRAM for the texture loading... Not exactly sure where the problem is but I don think that the graphics of the game are so sophisticated to max out our GPUs and CPUs...

I have a 9600GT and 2GB RAM running on a Opteron 180 OCed at 2.8GHz and have no issues running any of my games at 1920x1080. I play Left4Dead, Fallout 3 , TF2, Tomb Raider Underworld, and I highly doubt that GTA IV has better graphics than Fallout 3...

I preordered this game on Steam and I'll play it later today... From what I am reading so far, I am highly disappointed that Rockstar didn't put enough time to fix these issues before releasing it on PC.

well after a little tweeking, ive got it running at around 25fps which for me is playable, i hope this is addressed with a patch of somekind, but im not holding out for one. but basicly what i did was knock the render down to medium and knock numbers down by 10 points and its better than it was.

KM let me know how you get on tomorrow

......

it will slowdown considerably that is

and it already slow enough for the other guy who got GF8 GTX

i got 320mb vram GTS

well i wont get it then ..no GTA4 for me for now... till i upgrade next year that is

R* can wait for my money :p

run it at 1280x800 if you want 16:10 1280x1024 is a 4:3 res

I don't know why people keep saying that. 1280x960 is 4:3 resolution and 1280x1024 is 5:4.

Woo, it gets released today on Steam. I can't wait!

I couldn't wait too, until I discovered that the **** isn't optimized and just plain rushed to milk the cow looking worse than the console versions.

Wow im not holding out soo much hope for this anymore. I have a 4870 with 512MB, doesnt really seem to be enough to run it at a high level.

nah it is oky

you are in the recommnaded level for vram and ...

4870 > 8800 GTS/GTX

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
