@ Dennis4k - please let us know all the mods you are using. I'd love to play GTA4 again!

The 'ENB' series of mods, would be one of them some russian guy I think who makes graphics look better in a range of games, he also provides supersampling which is the only method to get AA in GTA IV but it's very intensive, I'm not sure what state the current mod is in though, as for his website it seems to be down 403 error :confused:

There's plenty of modding websites, just search google for other mods

? no it doesnt it still looks like a game!
sure its really nice looking but it still has that "game" look about it with the colours and everything

He probably means the first shot of the cars and I'd agree. The texturing and lightning on the car is about as close to real as you need it to be fair lol.

kellaway225 · 4 Apr 2010 at 17:08

to me that look to cartoonish, you can tell they are cars they have that look and colour about them
the lighting is good but it doesnt look anywhere near life like (the cars) though i think the lighting is good

what kind of FPS are you getting?
not really that much point in having it that nice if it going like 3fps a second

Fluctuates between 10-35, depending on scene.

I found it to be pretty much unplayable on a 3.4GHz Q9550 and GTX260, though I never did find a way to turn off a load of the other stuff the ENB mod does and just use the AA, i'd guess the lighting and so on kills a good few FPS, might have just eeked it into the realms of playable otherwise.

Hopefully these come out of tinypic fullsize, I cba to upload elsewhere atm:

ENB Off

ENB On

ENB Off

ENB On

You can see in the first shot, whilst distant stuff like bridges look massively better, there can be occasional oddities with shadows like on the road below.

edit - ffs, tinypic has shrunk them all from 1680x1050 to 1600x1000 so they all look gash

Well it's a Hi Res thread so you'll want to post the best possible quality shots.

Fair enough. I guess I was asking whether he played at that AA setting and quality. I would struggle to play with a slideshow but you're right, just for this thread we can all go nuts!

No, these are screen shots from Clear Sky.

Edit : Using Clear Sky mod by Pavel, 2xAA hence some lower frame rates.

Here's one from SOC, also using Pavel's mod. This one has no AA enabled, therefore a better frame rate. I'm sunset mad.

rush for berlin

Shock infantry. Pet included

^ That cross-eyed Russian dude looks scary!

This is the Engine part of the config for the ENB series mod I have used. Screens taken at 1680 x 1050 with 2x2 SSAA. Higher resolution than that at 2x2 SSAA, or 1050p at 3x3 SSAA, is not playable at all for me (4870x2).

[ENGINE]
ForceDisplaySize=true
ForceAntialiasing=true
ForceDisplayRefreshRate=false
ForceAnisotropicFiltering=true
MaxAnisotropy=8
AntialiasingQuality=1
DisplayRefreshRateHz=60
DisplayWidth=1680
DisplayHeight=1050
ReflectionsForceHighPrecision=true
ReflectionsExtremePrecision=false

The ENB series mod used for the below shots and the ones I previously posted, is the 0.078 SORA version. Today, 7. april, a new version, 0.079 SORA is out with some fixes and new moon.
