If you can find one, my evga 570gtx 2560mb runs gta IV very well on 1920x1080 with mods. They can come in around £260.

mmm looking at some test, the 7850 performs as well as the 570, much cooler and with less watts ! Besides, it is much much cheaper...
Are you sure of your choice ?

How? I have a HD6850 and can barely get above 25fps on medium graphics settings, let alone using mods and the ICE ENB.

It's really weird, back when I had a 1200x720 box monitor (hard times ;)) a few months ago, I couldn't get anything on GTA IV.

1200x720 resolution
1024MB DDR5 HD Radeon 6850
8GB DDR3 RAM @ 1100mhz
AMD Bulldozer 3.6ghz x4

Everything was literally on medium, I think even a few things were on low, I had about 400/1024MB resources used and saw with Dxtory that I was getting a semi-stable 20fps, with occasional spikes that dropped it into the low teens.

What the hell was wrong with Rockstar back then? At least Max Payne is alright, but there is no real way to tell, as it may be on the same engine more or less but the graphics are barely any better. Grand Theft Auto 5 looks stunning, and will probably be even more demanding and on its period than 4 was. :mad:

Rockstar need to sort themselves out to be quite honest.

Yeah but their games are awesome!
 
Ignore what i said above. More testing of Icehencer and it runs rubbish in 1080p with all maxed.

Icehencer looks garbage anyway, everything looks way to white.

The game as it is looks great and plays fine
 
If you can source them, a better PSU and two more 4890s could be a more cost effective job? It depends what motherboard you're on.

Just made a fresh install with no mod at all, 62 FPS !

This Icehancer mod is killing my fps from 62 to 18... Shameful!

The game actually looks better without IMO :confused:

Maybe I was modding wrong but I installed, upgraded to 1.0.4.0 then overwrote with the iCEnhancer125. (version 2 does not working with 1.0.4.0)

Everything just looked to bright
 
The high res mods coupled with the AA is what uses the graphics card memory. Mot the enb/icehancer file. I'm pretty sure you can turn off blur and lower brigtness in the icenhancer files as it should just be a modification of enb.
 
OK guys I've just upgraded to a 7950. I set up all the options to max. I get 25 FPS

It's not great, but playable, I will surely put some settings down
