With higher settings on the PC version with better hardware, I'm getting better visuals and better frame rates which is what I was expecting.
I guess it's all about perspective: when you compare it to other PC games, yeah it's quite the disappointment, but when you compare it to the console versions, it seems fine. Sure there are things that need to be fixed, like the memory leak, lack of non-360 controller support, and odd errors, but I think its silly to expect this game to run as well as a PC exclusive game.
That said, after spending a lot of time with the console version, I'm pretty pleased with the PC version. I get around 55fps with sigged rig at 1600x1200 with textures on high and higher car density (required VRAM: 858 available VRAM: 497 :ROTF: ).
Hmm... seeing how it's probably more optimized for x360 hardware than PC hardware (triple-threading), should we except better performance on ATi cards?
I'm curious to see how ATi cards perform when the GTAIV drivers release on Wed. Hopefully my 4850 512 can run this at 1920x1200. :rolleyes:
GTA 4 incompatible wont install windows 7 6801 every other game ive thrown at it works fine :( much smoother than vista tho got to say that.
With 7 being a beta (more like a pre-alpha since release versions are actually the betas :) ) I would expect those sort of issues.

btw, does someone know if rockstar will release a demo of gta 4? i'd like to play it and see the performance myself before i decide whether it's running "ok" or not.
Danke schöen, RaZz! :wave:Quote:

There's little to none physics usage in the benchmark.
No AI at all.
The graphics are....shabby.
Yet the performance is just a tad better than what we'd get with Crysis :D
Good go Rockstar! :D
By the way, AA ( Anti-Aliasing ) is NOT working guys, no matter what you do ( probably R* used deferred rendering ).
I'm not sure if AF ( Anisotropic Filtering ) is applied as well ( no time to play the game myself to check it out ).

BenchZowner i think your on to something using win xp looks like its getting more frames...your pentium 3 Xeon how many cores does it have?
4 Core 2 cores :p:Quote:

XBox 360 - 6 Cores, PS3 - 8 Cores go figureQuote:

regards
The first patch is coming to fix the big woes:
Quote:
• A fix to the crash after legal screen that some German customers were reporting.
• Numerous improvements to the video editor: Smarter naming of videos, improved rendering quality, better fx during replays
• Fix to bowling while using certain sensitive mice
• Fix for ATI 1900 shadows
• Overall savings to memory
• Graphic improvements to particle systems and mirrors
• Multiplayer character settings are preserved
• Support for DirectInput controllers. Note: The current hack way of supporting these controllers may not work with the improved functionality. So we recommend you remove the hack before upgrading to the patch.
Issues with power management software have also been fixed (slow speed, double speed issues). Even after the patch comes out setting power management software to maximum performance is recommended. We’ve seen cases where power management software does not detect the game is running and puts the CPU in green mode.
Besides the patch we’ve also improved the way the Social Club handles data this should have greatly reduced or eliminated the Mma10 error. If you are still receiving this error after logging in and out of Social Club we would like to know as much info as you can about it.
