Hi. I know there are a lot of threads about having low frames in GTA IV. But none really have the same specs as me so I thought I would just make a thread and hope I'm not going to annoy someone with yet another low frames GTA IV thread.
Anyway, as the title says I'm getting pretty low frames in GTA IV.
My specs are as follows:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93ghz
4gb OCZ Gold Edition 1066MHz RAM
1TB WD Caviar Greenpower HDD
Asus P5Q-SE2 Motherboard
Vantec Ion2 620w PSU
Asus Nvidia Geforce GTX 260
Here are the benchmark results:
Statistics
Average FPS: 49.18
Duration: 37.01 sec
CPU Usage: 79%
System memory usage: 52%
Video memory usage: 45%
Graphics Settings
Video Mode: 1440 x 900 (75 Hz)
Texture Quality: Low
Render Quality: Low
View Distance: 1
Detail Distance: 1
Ok, so I have everything on lowest and the benchmark test tells me I have good frames, but in game I'm only getting an average of about 33fps, sometimes around 25fps and even down to 16fps.
I know that GTA IV is optimized for a quad core CPU and that it's requirements really badly optimized and such, but really, shouldn't I be getting higher frames than what I'm getting, especially as I have everything on lowest?
Anyone know whats happening or is this a normal sort of occurrence?
P.S Sorry for the long post =P
EDIT: I have tried on settings higher than lowest but most of the time it's almost un-playable.
