Tried the tweak mentioned above but no improvement in frame rates. It's the same as before. I get around 22fps on an average & dips to 17fps while driving. Though the texture quality has improved & the game looks pretty good after increasing the texture quality to high. The benchmark doesn't really give an accurate & steady picture of the in-game fps. I'd say run FRAPS & then check the constant or variable frame rates. The good thing is that it's not unplayable. Infact I just got off from completing 'Hung out to Dry' mission & the game is a complete treat. Having too much fun just like Bully. If only Cockstar had optimised it. :(

EDIT: I have also noticed an increase in texture pop-in after adding the above settings.

the biggest mistake u are doin is that u are runnin ur proc. at a cocky speed.
its necessary to play this shitty port @ proc speed above 3.0ghz

:)
 
Is anyone facing this issue, after you make changes to the graphics settings and close the game, including exiting social club, the settings for the draw distance and the others are reset. All other settings remain the same though like res, shader, texture. Is this because i'm using an offline account. I'm currently using the *ahem* ver, is that the case. I also have the legit copy, just too lazy to re-install ;)

Just played through 2 missions. Have the game working at the highest settings i.e

Resolution - 1680x1050 @ 60Hz

Texture Detail - High

Render Quality - Highest

Vehicle Density - 100

Shadow Density - 16

View Distance - 100

Detail Quality - 100

Gives me a constant 30+ FPS :D

Using the commandline tweak file , i see very little texture bugs. But they still exist , maybe the patch will help :D

good for you,but my eyes find 30fps highly abusive.i am guessing you have a quad clocked high for the gaphics demands of this game don't seem to be that high.apparently my card can play it at the same fps when at 400/600 clocks as when stock and when overclocked.:rofl:
maybe R* thought around 30fps would be enough for PC gamers as they ran slightly lower on consoles.
 
Guys,

Pardon if its a noob question, am not looking around scene forums for sometime now, office -everything is blocked

AFAIK, GTA needs GFW account for singleplayer saves
I see few playing with ahem versions, how do you manage to save

Has the latest cracks allow to make offline saves too on the HDD

I have bought the game via VJ, but thinking of using a crack for now, till the patch comes up

What the best method for legitimate versions - play with all sidekick apps :@ running or using a crack
 
My quad is not oc'ed too much. Q6600 @ 3.0GhZ . plus mine is a 8800GT OC :D So i am happy to run the game now :D

If anyone wants the tweak file i am using , lemme know , ill attach it here.
 
Works for me perfectly. I guess its for nVidia and Quad users only atm.

Looove this game. The story line is great , the driving is realistic and fun , the graphics are awesome (buggy though). Real happy i bought it this time :ohyeah:
