Re: Stable ATi Drivers for GTA IV
I would care less about the graphical glitches & worry more about the frame rate issues. Can anyone confirm if it has provided a substantial boost or none at all? OR Will we have to wait for Rockstar to fix this mess up?

Re: Stable ATi Drivers for GTA IV
For me, frame rate is a very big concern. I can't accept performance drop at any cost. Minor drops are fine but running the game below 20 frames is like butchering the game. With all the hoopla surrounding this game bringing the highest end rigs to it's knees is a joke. Glitches can be fixed to some extent but frame rates/game optimisation is something which developers need to think of when they develop the game. After that it just leads to a bunch of haywire patches & graphic driver updates which hardly fixes much.
Hence this is a gradual concern. It's like 'being able to start the game' & 'being able to play the game'. That's how big the difference is & which are 2 different things.

Re: Stable ATi Drivers for GTA IV
i agree with u. u can say that about nfs Undercover which doesnt play so good, even though i get a constant 60 fps cut off on fraps.
what i meant is that even if u get a cool 60 fps on the game, how r u gonna enjoy it playing like this
get my point buddy?

Re: Stable ATi Drivers for GTA IV
Sidhu, I don't think you're getting my point. Graphical glitches & performance issues are 2 separate things. The latter has a very bad impact on the overall gameplay. It will sometimes make the game unplayable. Graphical glitches are taken care of but rarely does anyone address the performance issues later on. Hence my above statement. I used to get 30 frames with NFS: Undercover with everything on high. I said OK well this is very bad for a game that doesn't look so fantastic. Then suddenly someone out here popped up with a very good tip to disable the shadows. I did that & the frames jumped to 74 frames. Now atleast I could play the game properly. Before that I had just uninstalled it & vowed never to touch it.
You see that's how much a performance issue can impact your overall experience as opposed to graphical bugs.

Re: Stable ATi Drivers for GTA IV

i just thought u were fine with playing the game this way

Re: Stable ATi Drivers for GTA IV
^LOL! It won't bother me as much as the frame drops but yes I would definitely not ignore that part as well.
