GTA IV max settings?

Ok so i got everything turned up all the way besides shadows, which are on high not highest so i can turn up the view distance. Is there a hack so i can max everything all the way? i dont like this low view distance thing and most people know it limits you.

Get a 2gb video card? The game is heavily dependent on video memory, so it's impossible to fully max out the view distance unless you have that much to work with.

im not ready to.. i will probably buy a Fermi though. My gtx 260 has 896 Mb and my view distance is at about 25

[QUOTE="darx55"]yes,create a .txt file in the game directory called commandline and write this in it -novblank -norestrictions hofuldig

not necesarily,i could play at everything on high and silders on decent settings and it looked really nice,but it lagged like hell(because of my damn 3850...)but his gtx 260 should handle it pretty nicely

Don't do what darx55 suggested. You will have a lot of trouble with the game after that.millerlight89

Actually shadows arent to taxing on the fps in that game. the draw distance is though. i have to have my draw distance around 33. and its not like my pc is a slouch either. its just a poorly made game that should really be able to run on the meagerist of gaming rigs.

back to gta4's poor optimization, I seriously think L4D2 has way better textures and it runs about a 1000000000 times better,

Uhm the game runs fine even with all the sliders maxed the only problem is there are random texture popups so i took the view distance to 50, they still pop up.. ehh i just need to find the point where they stop doing that

seems to work good on 35 :)

dude dont expect to get any good frames though cuz when i run it in max, (every thing set to max and sliders to 100 except viewdistance wont go farther than 60) i get around 20 fps with my 4870x2.

Well, im kinda having the same problem as nearly anyone else, i benchmarked it at 49.5 fps, and the first 3 minutes of the game runs smoothly, then suddenly textures stops loading, and the world dissappears.

View Distance for consoles is (15) anything over 20ish and you shouldnt be able to really tell ie should be no popup on buildings, Traffic / Pedestrians will popup no matter what.
