GTA IV Performance

[thraxed]

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

 

[erocker]

Is it all patched up and everything?

 

[J-Man]

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

 

[J-Man]

No patch. There's a patch?

 

[J-Man]

Wow, 20 pages already.

 

[sneekypeet]

Wow, 20 pages already.

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

 

[erocker]

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/IV/PC/patch/index.html

Make sure DX9 is updated too: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en

*You have been assimilated, resistance is futile.

 

[J-Man]

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.

Hahahaha!!! Probablly.

 

[J-Man]

Well my system is nearly top notch

 

[J-Man]

5 FPS... Joke game.

 

[ShadowFold]

5 FPS... Joke game.

Now you know why I don't recommend it and why I got my money back for it.

 

[pepsi71ocean]

5 FPS... Joke game.

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]

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!

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.

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]

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]

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

Doesn't it say thatt is how much is free and not whats available. Could be a bug in the game for all I know.
