GTA IV improved?
- Thread starter willhub
- Start date
Must be an Ati thing? Managed to get it running on Dual Core E6750 ok few months back>
In game just standing still on the same street corner with only NPC's and traffic moving around to strain CPU. I've used the maximum GFX settings and 39 View Distance; which is the absolute distance limit with 1680x1050 on my GTX280. Also enlarged EVGA on screen info due to the image resize making it near on impossible to read.
E6750 @ 3.0GHz, fps between 18-27fps
E6750 @ 3.6GHz, fps between 21-33fps
E6750 @ 3.0GHz, in-game 5-Star wanted level gunfight + huge explosions
Works Dual Core's dam hard though^
Ran a dam site better on my old Quad @ 3.6GHz.

Game is great.
Good graphics (aside from lack of AA), great gameplay, good performance if you have a quad-core.

GTA is great now. quad is better than dual, but dual isnt unplayable.
Dont forget about the MP aspect of the game. very good fun

Yeah I saw that, takes a pretty big performance hit though does it not?
I think the fact that they haven't patched it further, shows how little they care about the PC version. I'm not going to claim the game doesn't run well on quad cores, but it was terrible on my dual. elpedro and I have very similar set ups, but GTA IV didn't run well on my PC, my old dual core conroe seems to be a massive bottleneck. I still maintain it's an appalling console port.

I run it on my i7 now. And it loves it. Before, I had MAJOR problems with it on my E6850, even at 3.6GHz. Definitely a game that loves quad cores.
That's the point though, he's got a quad at 3.6ghz, that's going to wipe the floor with a dual core system in a game that is designed from the ground up with 3+ cores in mind.
I'm not going to deny that GTA4 performs very badly (I played it with view/detail distances on 1 to keep frames up on my C2D) but in some ways it is nice to see a developer taking advantage of the extra power quads provide for a change.
You must be doing it wrong.
Amazing graphics here.
Awesome gameplay here.
Ample performance here.
It's one of the very few games I've clocked more than once.
In fact I'm going to reinstall it now and play through it for the fourth time.
A point many are quick to overlook^, game was designed/coded for the 3 Core XBOX360 Console which iirc has an effective clock speed of around 3.0 to 3.2GHz?
Still the port could/should have been optimized rather than rushed just to scrape in an Xmas 2008 release...Anyone here tried running the game for example via AMD Phenom II X3 Tri Core 720 Black Edition?
