Gta IV 20FPS?!

Running on a GTX 460 and an i5 2310 Quad, I get around 20 frames per second with everything on very high(And the settings are within the GPU memory limits), at 1080p.

WTF is wrong with this game? Picked it up on steam during the summer sale. The game runs fine on a mixture of high/very high with 33 Draw distance, at 60fps, but when I up a few more settings, it goes ballistic.

Any patches?

Overclock your cpu. The game is poorly made and doesn't run well on anything. It demands alot from the cpu.

If you bought it through Steam, it should be fully updated. Don't waste another minute stressing out about GTA IV. From performance to gameplay, the game is just crap. Forget about it and move on.C_Rule

Dude, its just a couple of things:

1) Shadows: put them on high not very high (they destroy every gfx card with less then 1.5 gigs)
2) View distance and detail distance (never put view higher then 30 and detail higher then 50)

Look at my specs ;)

Don't except the game to run above 30 FPS, it's badly optimized

oO i have a 460 Gtx too and i i use the graphic enhancer mod that puts everything alot higher than on the normal settings and i got around 25 fps which is perfectly playable for a game like GTA. And i didnt overclock my card.

Maybe the modded version is just alot better optimized so that it only needs the same performance as the normal game, because the enhanced graphics look better than GTA 5 will look probably.

Did you have to boast?

20fps? You lucky duck.

Your PC is too weak for maxing it out at a good framerate.

So it takes a developer's PC to max it out? 0_0

Or just absolute high end parts.

His graphic card isnt atleast. I just tested it without my graphic mod and i get 40+ fps on highest settings. 35+ if drving really fast with a car

Just wait till the next gen consoles come out to play it. By then the hardware will be much cheaper.

It's cpu dependent isn't it?

it is just a quad core at 2.9 GHz, OC to 4 GHz and you will see a big performance jump

I only get around 20FPS :(

I don't think that cpu can be overclocked that much. It's not unlocked.

consoles handle this game because they run at low settings with 20-25 fps.

Badly optimised. I'm also running it on a gtx460, (granted my processor is nowhere near as good as yours) but I've got most settings on medium.lucfonzy

This game is kind of a joke, it doesn't even support AA, whereas San Andreas did... it's just unbelievable, it's like they're taking steps backwards in terms of world size (only one city, SA had 3 major cities) and of course advanced graphics settings.

This game is giving me trouble on my GTX460 as well and I overclocked it, I think a cpu with 3.5+ghz would help.

yes, steam is fully patched to 1.0.7.0 which is the fastest running version of the game. i get a steady 60fps on my rig everything max at 1680x1050, plus my own graphics mod to tweak the shaders around. my old system, intel E6600 core 2 duo and ATI 4870 couldnt max the game at all over 25fps...my new one can. The game enjoys beefy CPUs with heavy OCing and lots of VRAM

LOL yet it doesn't even have AA. I'd rather take SA's graphics with AA over GTAIV's, and GTAIV's graphics aren't even good.

Before you say something silly like that, go ahead and look at that thread.

You can also supersample, much more costly than AA, but it works.

Haha, that's a mod. The game doesn't natively support AA, and yes, WAY more costly. Don't make me laugh. Also, that MOD makes the graphics look better. I'm guessing the reason that person uses the mod is to make the game look better??? So in other words, YES the default graphics aren't that good, so don't be a hypocrite.

Hypocrite, do you know what that word means? Let me help "a person who pretends to be what he/she is not", where am I pretending to be something I'm not? The game's not a hypocrite, not a person in the first place and it's not faking anything, it's just modded. (okay, it's faking lighting, but every game does that, it's not like raytracing is realistically doable in real time)

And, yes, I'm aware it's a mod, and that the guy who's using it is doing so to make it look better, that's obvious as hell, what's your point? The game Can look that pretty, it's not like the mods are some payed DLC, the only thing limiting your access to those graphics is your garbage hardware and personal laziness.

Maybe I'll appease you: the game looks damn pretty if you're not lazy or cheap. If you are, enjoy your semi ugly game, that still looks better than the stock GTA:SA.

And since it's a differed renderer, isn't MLAA available? (would appear to be according to forms I just looked up) So, oh wait, your crap hardware is preventing you from using MLAA, and even if you had it, forcing a driver option is probably modding to you.

Wow, your whole first paragraph you tried to explain to me what a hypocrite is, wow, just wow. There's nothing garbage or crap about my hardware, all I'm saying is, firstly the game has no AA, FACT. The game has alright graphics, FACT. I don't want to mod the game to look good, it should be good. Even modded it's no Crysis anyways. I'd still rather take SA's graphics with proper AA over GTAIV's. You've got issues pal.

I play just cause 2 on max settings and the FPS never drops below 60. It also looks much prettier compare to GTA4. Pisses me off when game dev gets lazy but charges you full price.

Just Cause 2 is potentially the best open world game ever made. The amount of things you can do with an unbreakable hook is insane.
