Oced GPU too
Avg FPS 32
But in game performance is not much different. Game is okay while not driving. However driving is full of stuttering at each turn and dips below 10 FPS constantly.

In India, 4GB of gaming memory from OCZ still costs around $110.
Also, what do you say about this?

Huh? Those are huge increases compared to the 24.18 FPS at 3GHz. That's better than linear scaling from CPU clock increases. There's just too many inconsistencies in your posts making it difficult to narrow down the problems. Do you have an E7300 or an E2160?Originally posted by: techboie

I'd agree view distance and texture settings are most likely causing the stutters as textures are constantly swapping to/from VRAM, although 80% System memory usage with 2GB could also be part of the problem.Originally posted by: Azn
That's your problem right there.
You are playing high textures, view distance 100, detail distance 100 on a 8600gt. Those settings would even make GTX 280 struggle.
Try medium textures, view distance 21, detail distance 30 and try benchmarking again. You better make sure your 8600gt has 512mb of vram for medium textures or else you should be turning down your texture level to low.
Yep that's an effective fix for the RESC10 out of video memory error and does seem to make the game smoother overall as replays aren't constantly being cached. I just wish there was a way to permanently turn it off instead of having to turn it off every time.Originally posted by: Udgnim

According to the benchies I should be getting 27 FPS on a GTX 280 and I am getting 25 FPS on a 4850. But not real world. Only in the benchmark. That is useless anyway.

It's right there in the readme, yet everybody's expecting to max out everything on a dual-core...

Geez, my system in my sig will never playe GTA4, good thing i have it on the 360. Its crazy that a PC specced WAY above a console cant play this. Shit, when GTA: SA hit the PC it was the same thing but at least there was a noticable graphice improvement. Is that the case with GTA4? Is it noticably better looking than the console versions?
Akshayt...is that you?
