GTA IV @ high on low end pc!

Hi guys,

I own an Nvidia 9400 GT and other specs are shown in my sig. Recently when I was checking youtube, I found this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHkqTwEfukk

In it, the user had the same GPU that I own and a low processor and a ram low in memory. But the gameplay was fast with nice graphics and he said in the description that the game was recorded @ 1440*900 res. I want to if there are are any mods or tools that you know can boost up my gameplay just like the one in the vid. I also guess that the user included realism mod in the gameplay. I'm currently using the norestrictions commandline but it doesnt fasten the game. So please help me! I want to run this @ high!

Okay. First of, the guy uses a replay to make his movie, so his FPS will always be stable (around 30 or so). Secondly, his graphics aren't nice. And no there aren't such mods. The game just requires very powerful PC. I have a most supreme GPU, and a great processor, but dual-cored. With two cores there is no way you can play it on high. I barely play it on medium. The game's just too greedy and doesn't get on well with less than quad-cored CPUs.Crimsader

Not true... The game runs at a pretty bad FPS no matter what settings you use... I used the graphic memory unlock and put everything on high with my old PC and it ran just about the same as when I had everything on a mix of med/low at 1920x1080... And my old PC was an 8800GTS 640mb and E6750 @ stock... With only 4gb of RAM...

And it doesn't run much better on my new PC either (Q9550 @ 3.5, 8GB PC8000, GTX 260 Core 216...)... With the same settings, it runs just about the same... Mid 20's fps throughout...

The game just runs bad in general... The port isn't terrible as it is still playable, just very badly optomized...

My PC has a E6750 overclocked to 3.2Ghz, an 8600GTS overclocked and 2gb of RAM and I run it at 20-25fps with 1024x768 resolution with high textures, low reflection resolution, medium shadows, 50 view distance 45 detail distance and 4x forced AA. Thanks to some little tweaking.

Looks crappy in that video I think.

First, I thank all you guys for replying and helping me out. Now I want to know whether overclocking my pc will do help with this and can you tell me a good tool which I can use to overclock easily! I'm a bit afraid in overclocking because firstly, I hadn't done it before and I'm afraid whether it will damage my current GPU since my old 7300GS/7200GT!:)
