What settings are you running for those screenshots?
The pictures look very similar to how my game looks

Well I cannot get ENB mod to work, the gfx mod seems to be ok however, just followed the instructions that come with it
Any idea on ENB mod? the game loads but quits before the main menu appears..
Which graphics mod?
ENB mod won't work if another mod has modified the shader folder.

The AA mod? If I remember correct you should go in to the game, lower your texture settings and resolution so you have plenty graphics memory to spare, exit, apply the mod, then restart the game.
Otherwise your graphics card won't cope with the memory required for aa.
So your playing @ native mode then 2560x1600 I presume which is why your screenshots look so sharp???
Which parts of the ini file did you disable/enable to remove SSAO and SSIL?
I played finished and sold this a while back, I got to the point where i decided it was best to just get on with it and play the game, after a while you forget about how it looks cause your driving around so fast and into the story.
Yeah it doesnt look great but the more you strive to force it to look better the less playable it will become.
Not much of the game involves standing the the road looking at edges of buildings

The screenshots were taken while the game was running without Supersampling AA but at 2560x1600 and then downsampled to 1680x1050 in Photoshop. This is because enabling SSAA confers a huge framerate loss. However, it is possible to play the game and have it look like those screenshots, if you play at 1680x1050 with 2x2 SSAA and have an overclocked i7 Quadcore and a fast 1GB GPU. But for me at 2560x1600 enabling SSAA kills the framerate.
Running GTA IV with SSAA, SSAO and SSIL at 2560x1600 is for the future, I am afraid....
Though so as most of us cannot get it looking so smooth as you. Your res is the main reason why. Still at least we know buying 30" TFT's will fix it
I managed to own this game with my setup as below
1. Create a commandline.txt file and put the norestriction within it (see tweak guides)
2. Use the commandline.txt for setting the available Vid Mem
-norestriction
-nomemrestrict
-availablevidmem "1024"
-percentvidmem "2.0"
Have a look here
3. Use ATI Crossfire Xtension to ensure both GPUs are working
4. Force 16x8x AFAA through Xtension
5. Love the detail in the game without a mod
P.S. I already have modded cars and stuff - see most posts on the screenshot thread. Might post some new ones with the advanced details

No, you can get it to look like the screenshots you just need 2x2 SSAA or perhaps 3x3 SSAA but the problem is the framerate drop which obviously depends on what res you are running. People with really fast overclocked i7 CPUs and 1 GB GPUs should be able to play it at 1440x900 or 1680x1050 with SSAA depending on how low a framerate they can tolerate.
GTA has enforced restrictions because it s a lousy port from console so you need to lift these restrictions using commandline.txt,i play this game with 1xgtx 295 at maximum everything 1920 res,using nhancer,playing the game with 2xgtx 295 just crashes it after about 15 mins
create a txt file and name it commandline.
open up the file and replace this in it exactly as it is copy and paste
-norestrictions
-nomemrestrict
-percentvidmem 100
-availablevidmem 4.0
once you have copy/pasted in these,put the txt file in rockstar/grand theft auto folder and run the game,now you will be able to run the game to its full potential with no restrictions and be able to alter your graphic setting because you have the availablevidmem..ie 4.0=4gb
i get a constant 60fps at 1920 res,sometimes it drops 40fps but no lower

How do you get FPS rate mate?
