I didnt think of that, good 1
I was using one of those for Skyrim and it worked great. Also you can play with sliders instead of tweaking with a text file.
Although having said that - there is an ENB Customizer that also offers sliders and lets you save presets that I use on Skyrim. Hmmm Im gonna see if it works in GTAIV!
They did some extra work yeah, and for 2008 it was impressiveish, but all they really did was add in some support for PC features and smashed the resolution up. The decent rig comment I wouldn't agree with, though, you need a lot better than what a game of GTA's quality should take to run it without stutters. My rig for example is a 6850 1GB w/ FX-4100 @ 3.6Ghz, from what I've read my hardware is all in harmony with one another (lol) and push on another perfectly, so I'm running a pretty solid 1GB rig all around, the king of thing you'd of had to pay over £1,000 for in 2008. Infact the best card in 08 was a Nvidia 512MB, so to get the kind of performance we all get now would have been next to impossible in the year it was actually released.
The games unoptimized to ****, and is one of the worst ports going, but the game's core mechanics are so ****ing good, that I don't care, especially now AMD have fixed Rockstar's **** ups, and improved overall performance tenfold.
but I think even your old rig is better than mine.
-nevermind- found a way to downgrade steam version, will try the enb you linked up top

UsePaletteTexture=false[/COLOR]Your son can only just run it on a powerful graphics card with an aged, but still decent processor, at a crazily small resolution on the lowest graphical settings, yet its not that bad?
C'mon mate... I love the game but it was ported using a potato.
probs looks and runs better then the 360 on low as well
So got to figure out how cause I tried copying the code and it just made the game look terrible hahaPowerful? Its like a £30 GPU
Also cool that your trainers options show onscreen! Ohh yea I guess not all the mods use the enbseries text file! Bummer...but theres LOADS of configs out there. It might take a little time but you'll find one that works.
But so worth it. Fire up your Free Download Manager and go to bed
