Is the benchmark tool in GTA4 limited to 60fps

[Kaapstad]

The reason I ask this is I don't want to start a bench thread for it but I would like to see how the game performs.

Also does the game support CF or SLI or both.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it either is limited or you literally see no sensible scaling of results so it always averages around 60fps with high end cards. It deffo does not scale with multiple GPUs so it's pretty much a mess for seeing a valid difference between high end - beastly setups. Fingers and toes crossed GTAV at least scales with multiple GPUs. For all the problems with trying to run it I loved GTAIV and it looked amazing with a ENB with 2160p downsampling.

Thanks.

Have a Google kaap, you'll need to run the no restrictions command to get it to run on any modern card, as vram above 768mb (I think) bugs it big time. iirc it isn't locked to 60fps though.

I am almost sure that the bench isn't locked to 60fps - the actual game isn't. I will do a test when I go downstairs.

However I'll let you know how it performs overall

****ing terribly

GTA4 was an epic game but needed to run fraps at 30fps recording to complete one of the rapid tap tap taperoo missions.

The last mission. You cannot not laugh at how bad it is that the QTE is timed to frame rate.

That's the one. I consider that an epic fail from rock* and they were well aware of the issue but never bothered to fix it

I think I will wait for GTA5 as that seems to have a benchmark too.

I was thinking of putting this game back on, haven't played it for a couple of years.

I ran the benchmark on a purely vanilla game except for xliveless which bypasses GFWL.

The game isn't limited to 60fps, I think it might be 66.6 or 67 as that is what my FPS was throughout. It also crashed when it finished so I never actually got to see any results.

It's possibly that these are side effects of xliveless but I am not installing GFWL to find out.

My game always crashes on the benchmark, right after the moped flips.

It's done it on two different PC's as well.
