GTA 4
I'm playing in 1920x1080 and all the settings have to be on low to be playable, why? I see gameplay on youtube with the same cpu but worse graphics card and they can play on higher settings, please help!


Actually GTA IV is a graphic-intense game. To run it smoothly at high details I guess you will at least need an HD 7950 or a GTX 660ti

Increase all settings to a reasonable level.Do NOT keep it at low,in my copy (disc version),increasing the graphics settings actually helped increase my FPS.Keep shadows on medium.What kind of Fps are you getting?Use MSI Afterburner to monitor GPU usage.Also try increasing your resolution to the max your monitor can run ,I read something about AMD cards using that trick.If you have any further problems,post back here.Hope this helps.Btw,I too have a 6850.:)
