gta 4 crap fps

I don't understand. I have the steam version, patched to the latest, the game is maxed out and I get nice fps :confused:

I think there's also an issue with ATI cards though

Some ATI cards.

My Radeon 5850 felt better with this game than 6950 2GB I have now.

There'd been reports of Nvidia cards having issues with low performance too, though.

Run it below 1920x1200. GTX470 is not enough to get decent FPS @ that res with a quadcore. If you had a Core i7 with 8 threads it would be fine I used to run it on a Core i7-965+GTX260-216 with 30-45FPS back when it first came out in 2008 @ 1920x1200 almost maxxed out !

1920x1200=2304000 pixels
1920x1080=2073600 pixels (1080P res)
1680x1050=1764000 pixels
1360x768= 1044480 pixels (720P res)

See how many more pixels it has to render @ 1920x1200! its not ideal but try 1680x1050 (nearly half a million pixels less to render!!) otherwise lower shadows as they hit FPS hard maybe even turn them off altogether. No amount of CPU ocing will make up for lack of CPU cores! You sure your PSU is strong enough as GTA4 uses a lot of PSU juice without ocing CPU/GPU let alone with!!

Hit P on the keyboard for a Blur filter R* implemented on the fly to make up for no native AA!

but then why would i get those sort of benchmarks with it maxed out?? my psu is fine, and the game isnt using all of my cpu's power (about 70% on each core)

I had this same problem with a fairly decent set up (4ghz 920 and CF 5870s) still get crap performance. Anyway my solution was to get Mafia 2. It runs great. has a better story. Looks better (unmodded) and was just generally very entertaining start to end.
 
I found that my game runs similarly when my i5 750 is over clocked to 4GHz and when at stock 2.8GHz when it does that boost thing. I think my graphics card is more limiting for me. I heard it runs better on nVidia cards but might be wrong.

Yep I've read this too but can't say I have had major issues.

In the Benchmark I'm getting 64 fps average. My settings are all high apart from shadows which are set to medium. The 3 sliders (view distance etc) are all at 50%
