Farclip:
This mod increases the draw distance to the maximum, yet your draw distance in settings can be at 1 !!, IT saving precious VRAM. The idea is clipping.
FarClip 3500 - Longest View Distance before you can see the farthest reaches of the map (which show up a solid white).
FarClip 3000 - Medium Yet Still Double The GTA IV Default Distance
FarClip 2500 - Shorter Draw Distance
Better is Farclip 3500, for me.
