[Notnice]

with the money i'll spend for that kinda setup, i would have been better off getting a console..lol

MY render is at high.

Yea u really need 2 video cards to max out this game + a quad core.

[Spazosaurus]

Yeah...installed, cracked etc. GTA4 runs poorly. I mean...nothing over 30fps and that's at 12x10 and what appears to be absolutely no aa at all. Wow. Either a driver issue or the coding of the game itself but atm, its downright ugly.

*Captain plays a bit more*

Well maybe not downright ugly, but there needs to be some more AA and a framerate increase. Around 40fps average.

[Philosophical45]

i think i read somewhere that rockstar is working on something to fix all the issues with the release...

no wonder they take so long to port gta to the pc, so many kinks they need to work out..

sorry i meant texture quality cant go higher than medium on any current gen systems...

awesome try the 180.84....opps u on ati...lol

[Notnice]

^^^
Yea that can not go higher

I am use a Nvidia card not ATI if u are talking to me [I have the same card as u but mines is not superclocked]

[rassmatic]

Well, Razor beat everybody to de tape by crackin' it first. and i get fedup waitin and downloaded the other version last night. cyah even get it to work. steups. re-download time.

EDIT: got the game to work. i don't really find it as bad as everyone says. weird that the game prevents me from maxing out the graphics. can't even rise it to my monitor's max res. here's my bench results (on Visa 64)

I dunno but i am pretty sure that this has to be a major driver flaw. No way those kinda specs can't max out this game. Its not even the cryengine for crying out loud.(Mind you i think that engine is just badly programmed [take a look at the dunia engine if you disagree]).

[Spazosaurus]

Either the engine is badly coded or video drivers are not up to scratch. Either way, i'm certain that there will be a fix soon.

There is a patch coming out on the 10th  i saw it on a site if i find back the link i will post it + yes the video drivers  are not up to scratch.

BTW
The game looks really really bad as$ but i wish i could of max out the game

Just a matter of time before something had to be done about that poor performance. Oh, btw Notodd1991, there's a 'modify' button. Make use of it.

Have you tried running the game on medium texture quality and see how it runs from there? Given the fact as to how they recommend that even high-end users stick to med. texture quality.

GTA 4 (PC) - Summarization
The PC version of GTA 4 has CPU power for breakfast - independent on clock speed, L2 cache or number of cores. The latter ones are very important, because without quad-core power GTA 4 is noticeably less enjoyable. For example: A Q6600 is about 52 percent faster than the dual-core E6600 when both CPUs are running at 2.4 GHz. If the clock speed is increased, the difference gets smaller, but is still huge and a QX6850 is 47 percent faster than an E6850. Dual-core processors have a serious disadvantage and only with 3.6 GHz an E8500 is able to beat the Q6600, but GTA 4 nevertheless suffers from frequent lags on dual-core systems - no matter if an AMD or Intel CPU is used. The Phenom X4 9950 easily passes the Q6600 and theoretically is on the same level as the Q6700 (not included in the benchmark).

AMD's Athlon 64 X2 6400+ is doing fine compared to the E6600 and beats Intel's Conroe CPU, while the X2 5000+ is equally fast. A single-core CPU is unsuitable and only reaches single-digit results and additionally the game freezes and the animations of the characters is running in slow motion sometimes. Increased L2 cache results in about 8 percent more fps.

GTA 4 (PC) - Processor benchmark review: Conclusion
GTA 4 benefits from quad-core CPUs as no game did up to now. Even a 4.0 GHz E8500 is not able to compete with a quad-core that has 25 percent less core frequency. Both, the K10 and the K8 architecture are doing quite well.
