Steam christmas sale 2010... *twitch*

Not to happy with gt4 atm myself fps drops to below 30 most of the time

I have 5870 1gig
AMD 955 @3.8
4gb of ram


How do you guys get the command lines to work for steam and what commands do you use to get rid of stuttering ?

Thanks.

What your pc's specs ?

GTA needs a pretty good pc - quadcore ideally iirc - to run with all the eye candy enabled.

980x + 5970 quadfire, most of which seems to be a waste as far as GTA IV is concerned. From what I understand the game doesn't support crossfire in a single 5970 let alone two.
 
GTA IV for me runs quite well on my other pc with a AMD X2 3.0ghz dual core, 4GB DDR2 ram and 8800GTX graphics card, i get around 20-30fps with everything set to medium and at 1280x720

I tend to just get many graphical glitches, occasionally the sea turns to a black and white checkerboard for a split second and textures pop up in the middle of know where, in particularly under bridges or going into the booth tunnel :S its bizard its like a brick wall suddenly appearing in front of you then driving through it
 
Only bought Dirt2 so far when it was £3.* and i'm quite suprised how fun it is! Online has had me laughing, graphics are amazing.
Nothing else has stood out, that i've not already got.

yeh the only thing that would make a big difference on GTAIV is having more Vram, so 6950s etc have an advantage
 
GTA runs fine for me, i5 760 8gb ram gtx 460. 50+fps most of the time. Thats using the autodetect settings raised slightly.

Not sure I like it though, its a bit too much like a soap opera.
 
For anyone wondering where to start fiddling around with GTA IV settings, here are console graphical settings:

Xbox 360 settings
Resolution 1280 x 720 @ 20 -30 fps
Texture Quality Medium
Reflection Resolution Medium
Water Quality Medium
Shadow Quality High
Render Quality Low
View Distance 21
Detail Distance 10
Vehicle Density 33
Shadow Density does not exist on the Xbox 360
Definition off
Vsync off

Copied over from some GTA forum.

I've got everything on High, VD and DD on 35, VD on 65, Water quality on VH, Definition and Vsync on, steady 40-76 fps.

Nice one, I was wondering what the 360 equivalent would be. Given the problems this game has I'll be satisfied as long as I can at least hit parity with the 360.
 
Yea i buught GTA4 pack last night aswell. Didn't finish download :( Only 15% to go. So i'll resume it tonight for the rest of the downloads.

Hopfully some good offers on todays steam sales. I want BC2 on offer again. issed the first offer.
 
Would GTA4 run well on a i7 @ stock and a 5770?

Bought it without thinking if it will be able to play at decent settings :L
