Finally GTA4 performance issue solved. No quads needed.

How can you do that thing that allows you to maximize the graphics as much as you want?kostis1993

Do you think I can run the game in 1920x1200 if I tone down some settings and use your "tweaks"? No AA needed if it takes the FPS down much.

This should be my system:

Microsoft Windows XP Home 32bit

Service Pack 3, v.5657 (Not sure)

Video Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS G92 512Mb

Video Driver version: (Dunno - newest I presume.)

Audio Adapter: (Don't know =l)

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9459 @ 2.66GHz 1333FSB

1) Putting Shadow density to 0 in game settings. If you notice carefully, the game looks better with setting shadow density to 0.

2) Putting -norestriction in the shortcut to GTA4 launcher.zaigham_riaz

Will people just admit this was a crappy job on Rockstars part already?jmnderson69

Mine runs right, but at like 30-40 FPS, I mean cmon it doesnt look that nice!jmnderson69

Textures on high, Render quality on high, View distance is 30, Detail distance 100 and vehicle density is 70. Its a smooth minimum FPS for the most part. Still a piss poor port, a game shouldnt require you to spend more time tweaking than gaming to enjoy it!jmnderson69

Nah I had an 8800Gt a few months ago now...im now on an XFX GTX 260 XXX Edition.jmnderson69

Hey guys,

I cant figure this one out for the life of me...but then again I'm not that computer adept. I downloaded the new Nvidia patch, I set Shadow density to 0, turned off the clip recorder, set textures to low and res down to 1280 x 720, and with my specs I feel like I shoud be doing waaay better than 7fps??? PLEASE anyone help me with any tips!!

one of mines its a core 2.4, 3gb ddr3 ram, and a ge-force 7300le (lamer), vista ux64sp1

the game runs horrible, like 7fps, all detail minimum, and after a while the camera moves in "drunk" effect, every car i get on get the engine smoked ( only when i drive it ) and the brakes dont work ... is there a tool for gta4 performance? or someting that decrease the shaders ( i think that the ge73 sucks too ) and something to delete the cameraand driving problems? please

Quad Core @3.66

2x8800GT's in SLi

4GB RAM.

Still can't get textures to high, or res to 1900x1200.

Mostly because R* is full of a bunch of idiots who FORGOT SLI SUPPORT.

I wan't to punch them all in the face.

from what i read somewhere earlier today nvidia have released new updated drivers today that support sli with gta iv

I heard that the drunk cam and the smoking engine is caused from the pirated version ( I cannot indepently verify that because I didn't download GTAIV because I think it is wrong).

Also if you are complaining because you bought the game, that is one thing but when you download it and complain about the bugs and it not running for you, don't expect any sympathy.
