Huge difference... Please help! Previously on Windows XP 32BIT I had 27 average fps ++ on GTA IV EFLC. (I didn't save benchmark results because I wiped old HDD) Now I'm on SSD and Windows 7 X64 Ultimate and I'm getting less than 15 average fps...kinda unplayable... Here are the benchmarks: First benchmark after a fresh PC restart - closed all background apps then started game. StatisticsAverage FPS: 14.62Duration: 33.03 secCPU Usage: 95%System memory usage: 81%Video memory usage: 66%Graphics SettingsVideo Mode: 1280 x 1024 (60 Hz)Texture Quality: HighShadow Quality: Very HighReflection Resolution: Very HighWater Quality: Very HighTexture Filter Quality: Anisotropic x16Night Shadows: Very HighView Distance: 100Detail Distance: 100HardwareMicrosoft Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1Video Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 TiVideo Driver version: 347.25Audio Adapter: Hangszórók (High Definition Audio hangeszköz)Intel® Core™2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHzFile ID: TBoGT-Benchmark.cli Second benchmark after a fresh PC restart - closed all background apps + OC'd GPU manually by using Asus GPU tweak. Increased fan speed to 80% as well.

Here's what I've done: - installed directX version the program required. - installed .NET latest - installed GPU driver and updated to the latest version - Got all basic drivers - Overclocked GPU by a lot of % for the 2nd benchmark test... - Restarted PC and closed all running apps I don't know what else to do...any ideas please? On Windows XP x86 it ran flawlessly on the same settings I even tried 1080p and it ran even better on XP than on Win7 on 1024p now... I don't think it's a RAM problem because a 32-bit WINXP can only use 3,25 (3,2 usable) gigs and now I've got way more usable ram due to x64 system...WTF is the problem!? Even Battlefield 4 (on my dad's 16:9 full HD monitor that I borrowed) runs much much much better on 1080p ultra than this piece of sh*t GTA IV.... But on XP GTA IV ran significantly better....please help?

Tenge500 GTA 4 isn't a highly optimized game (<- understatement). Still, reducing the settings to the lowest might help. The outcome could be surprising... Or simply adjust a few settings and observe the change.

I'm not skipping any options. Actually, I prefer not to play at all... As I mentioned earlier (even though it sounds repetitive), it performed significantly better on the same settings when running on 32-bit Windows XP.

I don't have access to real-time system metrics like CPU usage. You'll need to check your device's monitoring tools or system information for that data.

In the GTA4 installation directory, generate a file named "commandline.txt" and insert "-norestrictions -nomemrestrict". This should provide the desired result. It seems to ease my concerns, as I typically run at around 40 fps or lower on my machine.

If you don't mention me, I won't get a notification. You might want to give it a shot, but it looks like you're not interested. Probably better to buy a console if you really want to play that game, rather than wasting time trying things.

I've already tried that. I also reduced the graphics settings, but performance remained poor. The game requires around 3-3.5GB of RAM and its CPU usage stays between 60% and 100%. I checked the NVIDIA control panel to see if any 3D settings were changed, but they were still at the default. Something must be wrong...
