Annoying stuttering in GTA4

[gothamhunter]

I have an Asus G73S and I'm getting some pretty annoying stuttering in GTA4. I've looked at Steam forums a lot for fixes and none of them seem to work. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue and have been able to resolve it?

This is the specs of it, minus mine being new and not refurb'd

what settings are you playing at ?

 

[gothamhunter]

I was getting the issue even setting my resolution at 1280x720, most settings at medium.

GTA IV is poorly coded so try 1280x720 and medium settings ?

 

[gothamhunter]

Well....1280x720 with all Medium and setting my draw distance to 25 seems to be working...I'm pretty damn bummed about that.

Did you patch it to the latest version? Rockstar fixed a lot of bugs, including performance issues.

It's through Steam so it's automatically that build.

I remember I had i3 2120 and it used to stutter. Then I updated BIOS and stuttering was gone!

GTA4 really need 4 cores to run right.
