GTA IV

GTA cpu benchies


It's a beast, you have to be pushing beyond 3ghz to get 30fps

i'm running quite happily with my q6600 @ stock @ 2.4Ghz, Memory @1066 5-5-5-15, 4870 1gig.
2 main settings as high as they go and all the rest(draw distance@ 60, detail distance @30 shadow density@ 5) @1920x1200@59Hz
FPS is usually 50-70, drops to low 30s when wet at night or lots of explosions goin on.Flyin round the 3rd city(in multi) with all the skyscrapers was fairly taxing on the fps. dont know how much as i didnt have monitoring tool on
Check my vid to see the results,
But a nice little overclock should fix that.
Big promises from new ati driver released december 10th, hopefully will make it run even better, bit more draw distance.

Played some wicked multi with nova for a bit tonight, we gunned some people down in our stolen heli, great fun. team missions against lotsa cops, races, gang wars, dope smuggling or just plain fuckin around.
Multi is a little buggy/laggy. Needs dedicated servers and quick. Browser needs fixing too. As much as it pains me to say it win LIVE is quite good, you can connect directly to friends game, horrible for chatting though. Steamfriends has caused me to crash a few times, xfire doesnt play nice either sometimes.

Overall an amazing experience after all the bullshi to get it workin

Edit: for any1 wanting to know about GTA4 multi. Of course this is an example from consoles i think, so player limit is 32 not 16 for PC

Sorry I realy dont get why everyone is talking of GTA4 as the UBER Game.
I think its the best GTA (from the ones in 3D) till now, even if i played only a bit of story (20%) and little bit Multiplayer.

First thing is:
Its full of Bugs, Animations that are not good.
There Bugs in there that are there since the very first gta in 3D, seems like they still using the same system for cars spawning and stuff.


Second: the often said: you can do everything in there (bowling, pool, etc) is pretty shitty because actually all these minigames are often very streched (through animations) and do lot less fun than playing a good round of tetris.

Third: The GTA4 System of Buying Stuff (in Shops) and Teaching you things did not change since the very first GTA in 3D and the system is bad.
If you miss one textfield in the upper left corner you stand in front of the ladder for minutes till you find out to go on escape than on Info. Shopping is streched to an Epic with everypeace you have to have a very long animation till you can buy it.


Four: GTA4 is a bad console port. The running around and everything with the mouse is horrible.
The health of people is way to low, they are dying like flies...

Five: The Multiplayer: I just played Team Deathmatch and it is laggy, people can cheat easily, the players have much to low health, the cars explode to fast too.
