GTA4 and its CPU intensive needs

[Hussein19891]

Yeah I m using 8.12 so it SHOULD be working. But its not, its odd cause it works well in COD5.

It more then doubled my framerates. Guess the extra 512 GDDR3 really helped.

8.12 wasnt really intended to have performance improvements in GTA4, GTA4 just came out right before 8.12 did. Wait for 8.13, that should have improvements for GTA4 definitely.

ha ha ha ur funny! What a joker!

the RV870 is for me. Either in the summer (Q2 2009 release), or my b-day, or Christmas.

So my bro is buying me a new PSU. But soon I will be getting the last component I need to complete my Dragon Platform.

Hopefully I should notice an increase in FPS once I get the 940. Even my 7750+ (at stock) gave me like a 5+ FPS gain over my 4800+@3.2ghz.
