How to remove lag and gain FPS on GTA IV

[thejorens]

The tip is, that sometimes on quad core processors GTA IV and other programs tend torun on only 2 cores and you have to enable the rest of the cores for your GTA IV not to lag.
LTL went from 15 -70 fps if i got him right.
For those who don`t know, what you have to do is go to task manager ( when IV is running) right click on GTAIV.exe, click "set affinity" and then you just check the empty boxes and voila you have lag free gaming.
However if you are a user of windows Vista/7 it might say "Blah blah you have no access and whatnot".
DON`T DESPAIR.
What you have to do is go to control panel and go to User Account Control and disable it by pulling the slider allllllllll the way down.
Then repeat step number 1 and voila, lag free gaming.
If it still doesn`t work hell will freeze XD

Its rather self explanatory if you read the instructions over and over a few times..

Gigabyte GTX 560

Ti or non Ti?

Non Ti. It's an awesome card but if I had to buy a new PC again I would directly get a GTX 570

Or you can get a GTX 580 from Asus

So that Non Ti version actually runs GTA IV with that quality(taking your youtube videos into consideration) while using fraps without any lag? Amazing.

I'm getting GTX 580 from either Asus or MSI's Twin frozr. :razz: It's awesome.

I am going to buy a new computer in a month or a little more, the thing I have already decided to be in the computer are double GTX 580's, so I'll run SLI.

Well, i got myself a new Dell XPS8300.

• 12GB of Ram
• i7 3.4GHz Proccessor
• AMD Radeon 6450
• 3TB HDD
• Blu-Ray Player and Writer (Obviously commpadable for CD's and up)

Not bad, hopefully you are running 64bit Windows.

Prebuilt branded pcs are often skimped in one area usually graphically.

Yeah, very shitty card. But its 1GB FFS! And my older one is better and its only 512mb... So do i switch it out or not? They are basicly the same. My old one is a Nvidia GeForce 8800GTS

See how it runs on the current setup, if you get bad fps, consider putting your old GPU into this setup.
