GTA IV Crappy Performance!!!

While driving every time I turn it stutters? Did it on yours too? Also, what are the common best tweaks which can enable me to get 30+ FPS???

Also, were you playing at stock speeds?
 
I was playing with every bit of my hardware at stock speed. All I could really feel was the frames dragging when driving a vehicle at high speeds. That's about it. Stuttering was never a part of the game.

Try this link: GTAForums.com -> ~! Ultimate GTAIV Performance Fix !~

And go through it with a good amount of patience. Try out some of the tweaks mentioned in that thread. A lot of people have had satisfactory results with it. Also keep shuffling your graphic settings. Add the command line text file. The game doesn't scale well so don't & I repeat DON'T go checking FRAPS for the frame rates every now & then. If you're able to play it then keep playing. That's what I did. The trick is to let loose of the frame check complexity built in us. Throw that out if you're playing GTA IV.

If you're on Catalyst 8.12, try reverting to Catalyst 8.11. For me 8.11 gave a bit smoother gaming as opposed to 8.12. Defragment should be done, like everyone else mentioned. Don't keep too many background programs running.

Please temme all the tweaks. Also, RAM doesn't affect FPS much, does it? It is more of performance smoother, right?

it may not be a bad port but u have to under stand that this game features NO LOADING hence it need to swap data from one plce to another hence a faster ram is a must.....i got 8 fps just by oc-ing ram ........... i see u have 800 mhz ram ...tighten its timings ... oc it ; oc processor.......... oc video card for the heck of it ........
 
Just noticed, the PC was not overclocked.

OCed to 3.5GHz and 960MHz

Avg FPS 35

Oced GPU too

Avg FPS 32

But in game performance is not much different. Game is okay while not driving. However driving is full of stuttering at each turn and dips below 10 FPS constantly.
 
Just by any chance, I hope your RAM is not at 667. That might be the reason. OCing past 800-900 MHz may solve the thing.
 
dude, with your setup from what i have heard you should be able to max things out at that rez, including textures. high will do you just fine.

i don't get as many fps as you though
