Playing at 800x640 at 16 bit.
Draw distance makes all of 4 fps difference so i dont care.

I get a steady 44 fps during the game, once i have run around the place, i can get 50 fps.

When first loading (aka the 1st minute into the game) it goes to 20 fps and jumpy, but since i have to run to get a car (i got 3 stuck in the garage and i can't get them out) it does not worry. Also i bomb around the city first so it loads it all up and to get my mind in gear

Lags only when the computer trys to connect to the internet to update itself

I'm running GTA3 in 1024*768 32bit colour mode, and have absolutely no problems.  I don't generally have trouble in 1280*1024 either (the highest available to me), but things get a bit 'sticky' on Staunton Island.

[Ballsweat]

I used the CPUKill idea from Moe, GTAGamer, and I used the Sheepyuk patch, and combined, they made the game playable enough now, on the highest resolution.  I still go on 800x600 though, since it's much smoother.  I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO THOUGH!!!  CHECK OUT MY SPECS!!! WHY WHY WHY?!?!?!?!?

Runs great at 1280x1024x32.

I was getting a little lag until I put a 50x CD-ROM in my case (I was using a DVD CD-ROM). Now it runs awesome. Keep sending more cops!!!!!  

[inboundole]

Try using Myths no-cd crack from Gamecopyworld and you'll get faster gameplay all around.  By the way, does anyone know who Myth is?  I've seen his name on a few no-cd cracks in other games.  Or is it a company or something?  Its always on the system information program that seems to come with these cracks.

game plays well at 1024*768*32 all details maxed.

I don't think anything else is relevant,

I've never had as much as a hickup out of GTA3, no lag at all.  Had to update the graphics card driver before it would run but no other problems to speak of.

Computer specs are in my signature.

I play the game at the resolution just above 1024x768 using 32 bit color.  All of the details are maxed out, but widescreen and trails are off.  I have not had any slowdowns with this game at any point.  It runs picture perfect and is a blast to play.

AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz
512 MB SDRAM
37 GB HD
VisionTek Xtasy GeForce4 MX 420 with 64 MB RAM and Detonator 29.42 drivers
Windows 2000 Pro

I have GTA running at 1024x768x16 with FrameSync on and Frame Limiter and Trails turned off and it runs pretty well.  It freezes up occaisionally but I've noticed that it freezes a lot more when I use the Ultimate Trainer +28.  Other than that there aren't any problems.

As for using the Myth no-cd crack, I would advise using a diferent one (like Bug Hunter's over at megagames.com).  When I was  using Myth's I couldn't load any saved games, but maybe there's a new one out.  I think Myth is a warez/cracking team, they do have a lot of cracks and I've also seen some warez with their name on em (including this game) but I've never seen any contact info for them.

i use teh no cd2 crack from gamecopyworld.com, so my rom isn't a problem

Running at 800x600 16bit, vsync off, trails off, draw distance set to the middle.

No mods.

i've always had a framerate of around 40fps

not so bad...
game only crashes when i screw up on a car stat change.
also using geForece tweak utility. set at 'quality' settings, with the exception of having fsaa turned off.

i've played with the draw option a bit... and the lower i set it, teh better it runs.. just barely.

but i take screens before and after the change , but i never see any differnece!

the buildings, textures, and pics are all drawn at same distance.. arg.
