Hey, I just installed GTA IV, and even on the lowest settings, every second, i get this half second strutter, which is driving me mad. I get around 25 FPS, which is okay i guess, for my sig rig. The struttering is really annoying!

I have the latest driver, do i have to OC my CPU? :<

Strictly speaking, your computer is too slow to run GTAIV. It's a very very CPU intensive game, and you need at least a good quad to run it well.

Yeah, i know... my CPU usage is 96% when playing :< OC won't help? I can bare <25 FPS, but its that damn half second strutter thats bothering me, i've seen vids and other people dont have that.

Vsync, it's an ATI issue with the game (stuttering, not the low performance). I know because it did it with my 5870's and was massively minimized when Vsync is enabled.

Try that and see what happens.

In-game Vsync, no need to force it via CCC.

Also install the v1.06 patch. It has mega enchantments and it gave me huge boost in FPS.

Maybe on higher settings.

My E8400 runs it fine on medium, possibly even a couple high settings

GTAIV isn't as CPU intensive as some think. Sure on high to max settings it'll slow down on some, but it's very playable on lower spec dual-core rigs.

I think it's more a driver thing when there's issues, at least most the time.
