Pupik Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) 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. http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showforum=240 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. http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/6243/gt...21505120tc5.jpg http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/6562/gt...21544276ke3.jpg http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/9884/gt...21532689qz5.jpg http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/3849/gt...21501998is3.jpg http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/7190/gt...21501121ne5.jpg http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/7308/gt...21485848xw1.jpg http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/7422/gtai...21240639yx6.jpg Looks worse than the XBOX360 version.

The AMD Athlon X2 6000+ is quite poor in terms of performance these days to be honest. Man, we really need quad-core processors :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, should certainly be getting higher framerates than that. Post a screenshot of your in-game settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot B. Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 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)).

Unimatrix Xero Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 ok cool, i think if i can find a way to disable HDR it might run a little smoother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Our cards shouldn't have any problems with HDR. We'll sort this out (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot B. Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 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 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysphoria Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 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.

Unimatrix Xero Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pupik Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) 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.
