Link the forums?

If that's just an ATI issue, hope they'll fix it fast, that dithering(?) glitch on the shadows etc. is pretty disgusting.

Yeah...the first screenshot in the topic pretty much said that



I'm just refreshing the topic on GTAforums every few minutes....someone with an nvidia card has to have the game up and running (of course they are probably playing)

A few of these screens show the FPS

"Has anyone successfully got this game running smoothly?

My pc specs 2.1 dual core, 3.5gb ram, GTX260

The game runs terrible for me and my bro (slightly better specs) even on low settings! The visuals look amazing but the frame rate is a killer. To say this game has req specs of a geforce 7900 is a complete joke. Unless the GTX260 is a dud card, which im sure it isnt after i spent a good 2 weeks researching what card I could upgrade to specifically for this game.

I dont know what else I can try, unless there's word of a patch coming out to fix this, ill be refunding it within the week.

You will care about the graphics when you see how shocking they are
You can hear the music outside of your car. Quite cool really.
I haven't tried turning off the engine.
And no, they aren't nice pics. This whole thread has been a showcase of how terrible GTA IV both looks and runs.

bad framerates on both ati\nvidia
shitty gfx

no AA, even forced it does not work

Shadows are supposed to be like that.
(Didn't want to post it as it's just some details about the graphics but it helps explain the shadows.)

EDIT: Got my copy by the way and am currently installing, will be interesting to see how the game is, if it allows activation.

EDIT: Game first installs that "Social club application" but it's pretty small and unintrusive, game itself takes up roughly 16 GB of disc space and two DVD discs.
(As mentioned previously, also that SocialClub app uses .NET 3.5 it seems.)

Anyone here got the D2D version (or bought a game from them in the past)?
I wanna know if you get the key as soon as you purchase or if you have to wait for the download to finish...

I'm around 70% on the uncracked release, and I would like to use a D2D serial on it. Do you guys think it's possible?

Sorry if that question sounds stupid. It's just that I'm yet to make to the magical 400 post counts, when I will stop posting bullshit and become a wise man.

Both.
Shitty graphics on a high-end PC plus bad fps.
R* what the fuck was on your mind when saying the game's PC development had started from zero point?!

Cool, keep us informed...

I wonder what fucking computer they made GTA IV on ??? The NSA 17 Teraflop computer ???

Fuck, cant wait to try it on my Dual Xeon/Quad Core with my 8800... See if the fucking game even has 1 PFPS...

There's shader files for what looks to be DX10 but I've no idea if it's actually used.
(Based on the folder name it could also be higher-end ATI cards, shader are structured in a few different folders and by their names it's a common 3.0 folder plus that ATI DX10 folder and a "low-end" ATI folder, there's also a few NVIDIA ones in the form of a NV 6, NV 7 and NV 8 folder.)


(I'll take some more screens in-game once the game itself is fully installed.)

EDIT: Oh and that Social Club doesn't require a serial number, just runs in the background (Tray menu if main screen is closed.) and can be tied to gamer profiles for either Live!, Windows Live! or PS3 Network if one feels like it.

Well, there seems to be reports that the game can be activated now in Europe also (and thus played), so I don't think a release is far away, the only thing that can slow it down is the protection...

I second this. I like JBeckman , his posts are always very detailed , well written and helpful unlike mine
Laughing

Anyway , did i just read that there is no way to use AA , even if forced ??! Please let not this be true......unless jaggies are less apparent than the consoles versions but somehow i doubt it Sad. An i wasn't worried about my specs (E8400 , 9800GTX , 4 GIG Ram) but now i don't know since i keep reading that it runs like shit on rigs slightly better than mine , Embarassed

Correct.
Even on higher resolutions like 1680x1050 the game screams for AA usage.
