Can i get an average of 30fps in GTA EFLC with the following config ?

M

processor:AMD phenom II X4 955 black edition
Ram:corsair 4GB ddr3
GPU:Gigabyte radeon HD5770 1GB GDDR5

AT the following settings:
resolution:1440x900x75 hertz
texture quality:high
reflection resolution:very high
water quality:very high
shadow quality:very high
night shadow: off
view distance:0
detail distance:0
vehicle density:0
definition: on
Vsync: off

yes, I believe you should get it

just apply all the official patches till date and you will be good to go...

gpu is sufficient for getting 30FPS

Must apply latest patches, it gives some more fps.

I didn't played EFLC, BUT in gta iv patch 1.7 did a boost for me.

^^offtopic- Rockstar never delivers flawless performance without bunch of patches cramping up harddisk space..atleast applies to all gta titles after gta 3!!!

I am using that card and it don't deliver that much performance.

If you play with viewing distance 0 detail distance 0 the graphics will look real bad

Turn down Shadow and reflection resolution.

Reduce resloution to 1280 x 800 or 1024 x 720.
Water qualtiy to high
I never ever played gta 4
Hope i get it soon

GTA IV/EFLC will mostly depend on the processor. Quad Core and high-clock speed is what you need. Anything less, it will be slow. More CPU bound than GPU bound.

Expect Phenom II X4 955 BE to be faster than Core 2 Quad Q9550.

I think in this game you were CPU limited. You have Core 2 Duo E4400, right?

^^ Yeah your memory is real sharp. I have that crappy CPU.

set reflection, water and shadow quality down to medium, and definition off (definition can be toggled with the P key I think), and you can raise the distances a bit. set object detail to medium and object distance detail to medium, and I believe you'll be able to play it on medium.

Apply the latest patch, go to video options and select "Auto Configure" which usually does a good job of configuring it to your hardware specs.

But even on my quad Phenom running at 3.2 GHz I barely get 30 fps with 9500Gt. Or is the GPU too crappy?

^^Try turning down your settings?

^its your gpu.

All settings are at medium and GPU usage is around 400 mb out of 1gb available. Yes my game is patched with latest updates. It's a steam game.

It is the GPU in your case.

GPU memory usage doesn't matter. 9500 GT is simply not fast enough.

^Which GPU will be good for GTA 4 7770 oc edition or 6850?

HD 6850 ~10% faster than HD 7770. But HD 7770 is 25% more power efficient.

I suggest HD 7770 OCed editions.

so, just wanted to know is the cpu making the game lag or the gpu ? since cpu usage is 99% and if I change the processor to quad core processor will I see any change and if yes, to what extent ?

Re: Is 90 Percent Cpu Usage While Gaming Bad ?

Your processor is a serious bottleneck dude. This game is way more CPU intensive than the GPU. Getting a i5 2400 will increase performance by quite a large margin

Re: Is 90 Percent Cpu Usage While Gaming Bad ?

Slow processor. You need a faster one.

Phenom II X4 955 BE and Core i3-2100 are the minimum for gaming.

I have merged your threads. Please see my post #11.
