I would think you'd get better then that, i get decent frames with it.

erocker · Feb 14, 2009, 12:46 AM

Is it all patched up and everything?

J-Man · Feb 14, 2009, 12:46 AM

Bad port to me. I get 15 FPS average. Sucks. I'm gonna uninstall.

J-Man · Feb 14, 2009, 12:46 AM

No patch. There's a patch?

J-Man · Feb 14, 2009, 12:48 AM

Wow, 20 pages already.

I think you've been merged into the original thread!

erocker · Feb 14, 2009, 12:50 AM

lol, yeah. Cmon man you can't blame it on a bad port (which it kinda is

) when people with lesser systems do better. Your's should own it. Here's the patch: http://www.rockstargames.com/support...tch/index.html

Make sure DX9 is updated too: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

J-Man · Feb 14, 2009, 12:52 AM

Good thinking, rockerboy. Now I should get the most FPS then the rest of you, right?

DX is all up to date apparently so I'll install the patch.

i got 20fps at max everything with a 512MB 8800GT.

However i get no less then 30 in game with the 280.

I just noticed all the complaints are from people with ATI cards, weird.

J-Man · Feb 14, 2009, 04:01 AM

Yeah, ATI, bleh!

I have 2 4850's a palit 1gb and a sapphire 512mb and I get better performance without crossfire. They need to patch this game again fix some more bugs coz it has a memory leak problem that is peeving off the world!

FordGT90Concept · Feb 19, 2009, 04:46 AM

I thought I read somewhere that only SLI is supported. I never saw a reason cited as to why but I doubt that will change.

Alberto-Elaria · Feb 27, 2009, 05:50 PM

You can't increase it. Its your video cards memory its just the way the game reads it I presume. Maybe someone will have a real explanation.

Cheeseball · Feb 27, 2009, 08:42 PM

You can increase it. There are many tweaks that can help you hit 30 to 40 FPS on a dual-core system and get above 50 FPS on a quad-core. A ton of them are on the GTAForums.

You cant change how much video ram you have.

if ist the video card memory why sometimes i found it 490 and other 433 i have evga 9800gtx+ 512

erocker · Feb 27, 2009, 10:43 PM

It has to do with your monitors resolution. The higher the resolution the more vram it will take.
