Buy new stuff.

I also get slowdowns & friends with Geforce4Ti4600/XP1800 also experience it.

Rockstar Games probably made a poor convertion of the game.

I've heard that even on high end systems it can go slow and jitter. Apparently the game makers were in a rush to get it out that the programming wasn't the best, hence causing jitter problems in the game. I wouldn't bother upgrading ya comp.

but for my question on the other tread "GTA3!!!" plp was saying that they have 1 gig system with a GTS and the games runs very smooth.

theres nothing wrong with the game that i can find. read the other gta thread.

whats your system specs and what kind of frame rate are you getting?

 

[reptilej]

i have figured out the problem. all i ahd to do was enable DMA for my hard drive and the game ran great.

I just installed my Radeon 8500le and the game runs much smother at higher rez but now I have a new problem!

The fog looks totally different then with my geforce2MX. Now I can barely see past the hood. It is making the game almost unplayable. I am using the new catalyst drivers.

Thx in advanced.

You might want to try turning off the trails feature and the frame sync feature. If you still have problems lower the draw distance. After I adjusted those settings everything worked fine. My specs are:

1.4ghz (thunderbird) Athlon (266)
512MB PC2100
ATI Radeon 64DDR VIVO

No that wasn’t the problem, But I found the solution <A HREF="http://ati.com/support/infobase/4046.html" target="_new">http://ati.com/support/infobase/4046.html</A>


Basically is a bug and this is the patch for it.
