a 6450 is an htpc card not a gaming card. Let us know how much you have to spend on upgrading your system.

 

[rgd1101]

set the resolution to as low as possible.

Solution, replace GPU with at least 6670

Since we are on the topic, what does it take to run GTA smoothly?

Specs:
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
16GB DDR3 1600
Core i7 860 3.4 ghz
Vertex 3 MAX IOPS
GTX 680 2GB OC

Running everything max 1920x1080, the benchmark gives me 66FPS however during gameplay frame rate dips to 20s far to often to make it enjoyable.

What the hell do I upgrade to?

You CPU, but setting draw distance to 100 always kills fps and isn't really necessary, the only time you'll see all the extra stuff being rendered is in a chopper.

@OP To play it properly, your probably looking at a new machine, but a low end gaming card would certainly improve things...CPU is always the bottleneck in GTA4, modern low end gaming cards will max out the textures etc..

GTA4 is cpu hungry, you need to overclock your cpu.

why you opted for hd 6450.it is bad card not for gaming. you should get hd5570 at same price

GTA will never run smooth. It was a poorly optimized game with no sli or cfx support. I have a i7 2600k@4.8,8gigs of corsair 1600 ram and a gtx 680 and I still have dips into the low 40's but its just something you have to be okay with. Im sure you may be able to push the envelope if you move the sliders all the way down but I didn't buy a $500 card to move sliders down. The game is very cpu and ram heavy and I hope the give the pc version of GTA V love cause there is no way Im getting this for my 360.

Plz tell me why game look blurry...
And what setting you use to play game ...

 

[Aniket25]

And before 15 days I brought this graphic card from flipcart.com so is there any chance to replace the product

 

[Hazle]

regarding the blurriness , just to make sure; you're not playing this on an HDTV are you? and is your monitor/tv and game settings at the monitor's/tv's native resolution?

 

[ASHISH65]

And before 15 days I brought this graphic card from flipcart.com so is there any chance to replace the product

i think so there is 30days replacement from flipkart.contact them and see what they tell

 

[unrealj]

why are you asking people what setting you should run the game i mean seriously you have the options menu right there experiment and lower some stuff then see if you have a good performance hit. Lowering your resolution should give you a performance boost

 

[Aniket25]

Bro should I increase the value of view detail distance, or decrease the value for getting good performance...
In game setting

 

[Aniket25]

Bro they.told me that they replace only damage and faulty product within one month....

is there any other way to replace product

 

[ASHISH65]

no other way.you can also sell out that card to any one

 

[ASHISH65]

You can run gta 4 smoothly . By the following steps :

1.uninstall the game.

2.update your direct x .

3.update your graphics card and sound card .

4. Re-install the game .

5. You should have at least 2GB of RAM to run it smoothly .

I hope I helped you all.

 

[tubu]

I almost forgot that you should have latest patch to do this. If it doesn't work then your computer is a mess .

 

[tubu]

It does did you tried by doing it . If it doesn't re-install the game .
