GTA IV : Low FPS on high-end computer
My setup is as follows
Windows 8 64-bit
Sapphire OC HD7950
AMD Quad-Core processor 3.2GHz (A8-5500)
8GB Ram
1TB HDD
Antec 450w
in task manager, gta eflc says its (32 bit)
When I play at all very high settings AA x16 and distances at 100 i get only 15 - 35 fps with average in the low 20s.
view distances at 30 i get 25-55/60 fps with the average being at about 28-34. it can lag down into the steady mid 20s in deep city areas.
i hate playing with the distances on 30 though. it just looks terrible on high resolutions compared to maxed 100.
changing quality/shadow settings has barely any effect whatsoever, with no noticeable increase in fps even when all settings are on low.
i understand this game is a terrible port with barely any optimization at all, but i was wondering what i would need to play with the bare minimum fps being 30/35, and average fps being like 50/60 when all settings are maxed with all distance at 100.
gpu usage is at very low %
cpu usage is at like 70%
if anything i would think it would be my cpu, but it isnt even at 100% usage, and it is a quad core which should be good enough. however i hear that upgrading to the FX 8350 (8-core), the fastest AMD gaming cpu, still has about the same amount of trouble with this game that i am having.
what is needed to run this game maxed out smoothly?
