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.

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

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
