GTA 4 on win7

Well, in overall the lack of performance and optimization in GTAIV is the thing that annoys me most. And im not speaking of illegit copys with cracks downloaded on the web.

I would sugest some support of non-Rockstar people. I think i should suggest you this: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFkqZ5Dk7HQ"]YouTube - GTA IV Ultimate Graphics Tweak[/ame] Gives a bit of work but it really maked the effort.

Cheers.

I know alot of people managed to speed up GTA4 and/or remove the 'extreme lagg' by running it in Compatibillity Mode. Have you tried that yet?

yes i have tried running gta4 in each & every compatibility mode
xp, vista, server 2003 does not work
only 2000, NT work
tried both 2000, NT but still the game is slow
i have to close down all the applicationz to play the game smoothely

To run well without any lag, and not close any applications, you are best off getting a quad core processor and 4gb memory

so should run well with me then quad core and 8gb ram :)

Again, you could be surprised. GTAIV - pc reacts very poorly to the most extreme hardware in very higher resolutions. ive seen better performance only with 720p on xbox360. With some mods and tweaking you cange it to almost perfect.

I have the same problem with gta4
I run Core i7 920 on asus x58 motherboard with 6giga ram and gtx260
so my specs are okay. but still slow

Please try some Rockstar patches, if the problems insist, try some tweaking and performance mods at websites like gtagarage.com.

Cheers.
