My system:
Asus Geforce GTX 590
Intel Core i7 2600k (at 4.4 ghz after overclock)
8GB of G.Skill RAM
1000W PSU
I run GTA IV version 1.0.4.0 (So that I can use ICEnhancer).
Before the overclock my frame rate would average at about 40-45, commonly dropping to the low 30s.
After the overclock (to 4.4 ghz) the frame rate did not change much, if at all, still commonly dropping to the low 30s. What's strange, is that this kind of performance was encountered when my resolution was 1920x1200, and was still encountered even after I lowered my resolution to 1680x1050. As in, the overclock did not seem to make a difference, and lowering the resolution also did not seem to make a difference, before and after overclocking.
If I could be able to get GTA IV to not drop below 40 fps at all times, I would be perfectly satisfied. I thought overclocking my i7 would do this, as I heard that GTA IV is very CPU-Dependant.
What do you guys think might be the problem? (Maybe something to do with Hyperthreading?)
