Mouldy Punk Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I've heard a lot of people are having issues with ATI cards, even the higher range ones as Unimatrix Xero is experiencing. The game just doesn't seem to be optimised for ATI cards as well as it is for nVidia cards. I suppose all you can do now is buy nVidia or hope for a patch.

Then I named the wrong person :p ...In retrospect, I think it was actually someone frmo another forum I was reading at the same time. Names are irrelevant, point's still valid: People who have 4870HD's are having FPS issues with settings that the card should be able to handle.

Elliot B. Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 can anyone explain to me what R* Social is?/noob Rockstar Games Social Club is a free online service provided by Rockstar Games for use with their latest generation of games. Rockstar Games Social Club was first announced on 27 March 2008, with pre-registration beginning on 14 April 2008. However, that date was moved to 17 April 2008. The name is a reference to organized crime, which commonly uses the term "social club" to describe a meeting place or hideout.

StealMySoda Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I figured maybe I'd be able to run this game. I can 'play' at 800x600 with lowest possible settings. But at some points the road in front of me don't load so I can't see where I'm going, So I have to rely on the radar. I've got the min spec cpu Duo Core at 1.8, and a 8400m GS and 3gigs of ram. I guess this one is going back on the shelf until I get a new system OR a patch comes and fixes everything magically. I have no idea why they would ship a game in this condition.

Unimatrix Xero Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 well after a little hunting ive found a little 'fix' to get the fps up a little just do the following and you get a small fps increase Head into the Nvida control panel and select all app controlled but overide AA to 2X vsync forced off the exe you need to add is 'launchgtaiv.exe then knock down the numerical sliders to the following 13, 35, 20, 0, ive really noticed a fps increase and i think im actully close to around 25-30fps now, eiether way its better than before, and the game still looks good as well, give it a shot and tell me what you think Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/page/12/#findComment-590214404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzerk! Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Ouch... Well, I'm pretty sure I can run it at low-medium. Hopefully. I've been waiting for this one to come out on PC, and alas, in the time frame they give to release it (Sept 30 - Dec 2), they release it on the last day.

alphaomegainfinity Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 The sales figures are going to hit rock bottom unless Rockstar sorts out this pathetic performance from their "next generation" game on the current high end cards. I am disappointed to the core. Current cards are unable to run console level graphics. What a surprise!!! I am looking forward to some more feedback from those members who have already got this game.
