Recently upgraded video card and memory.  Game has run flawlessly sense then.  I have been amazed at the difference in gameplay.  Rockstar still sucks for not communicating though.

Hey, my spec is:

P4
1700mhz
Nvidia Geforce 3
512 sdram
80 gig hd
win xp

And i run gta 3 at 1600x1200x32 and ALL the settings set to max and i get 30fps constant everywhere and when i turn off  vsync and frame limter it goes up to about 90fps BUT it becomes really jolty in areas so i leave the frame limter on to get a constant fps.

[Slava]

how do i check how many frames I get in GTA 3? is there such
a program that shows fps?

[illspirit]

homemade system-
amd athlon 950mhz
ecs k75sa mobo
geforrce3 ti500 (64meg)
128meg ddr
crappy onboard sis 7012 sound chip
win xp pro and win98se (dual boot)

performance-
doesn't work on xp due to some obscure error involving the lack of a hardware buffer in my sound chip.  on 98, it works just fine...  constant 40+ fps for the most part, drops down to @ 20 fps while driving thru downtown staunton extra fast (as in over 500mph using a modded car). goes up to 80+ fps in less "full" areas like the edges of ssv and portland.  audio stutters on occasion while listening to radio stations off the cd while lots of stuff is going on on-screen;  most likely a result of having no sound hardware buffer tho. (i mostly listen to the mp3 player anyway)

(moving this to troubleshooting&optimization board, and pinning it)

P3 1gig
256mb sd ram
gf2mx400
20gig hdd

i used to have 128mb ram and i just upgraded
gta3 is now playable but could look better

[golden saiyan]

AMD Tbird 1.4 ghz
MSI geforce4 mx640 64mb ddr
256mb DDR RAM
60 gig HD 7200 rpm
SB Live! Value

my game runs at about 60-80 fps at 1024x768x16 resolution.  frame sync and frame limiter off.  widescreen off.  using miles 2d sound.  (sux since i have SB Live! and can't take advantage of EAX cause it slows down fps alot)  Draw distance = lowest possible.  (dont know if this affects fps).  geforce4 settings = using best performance for d3d.

My specs, and of course i have built this computer myself (the only way to get a fast and working computer).

Intel Celeron Tualatin 1200
Asus Tusl2-c mobo
384 SDRAM
Hercules Radeon 8500 (original drivers)
Samsung 40 gig
Sound Blaster 128 pci
Windows XP Pro


Runs perfectly in 800x600x32 through the game. don't know about the fps but it runs really smoothly.
1024x768x32 runs fine, playable but gets a little slow in Staunton sometimes.
Draw distance maximum, no graphical or any other problems.

No mods or patches, maybe it would run even better with the 1.1 patch but it runs fine now so why bother.

[samcat]

AMD TBIRD 1.4 @ 1.75 (was 1.8 but I backed it off a little as it was getting HOT),
512mb Crucial PC2700 ram,
Epox 8k7a+ motherboard,
Leadtek WinFast A250 Ultra TD Geforce4 Ti 4600.

ALL latest drivers for everything (even newest bios on GFX card and MB)

With Fraps running I get:

Trails off, frame sync off, NO AA, frame limit off.
1280x1024x32 BPP  - 60 typically, goes as high as 200ish when looking at a wall in a quiet area, and as low as 35-40 when REALLY busy. (still only on first island).

It occasionally pauses for a fraction of a second as its loading stuff. But it is TOTALLY PLAYABLE.

Thats in windows 98 SE

However. Same config, newest drivers etc in WIN2000 its totally unplayable! runs at about 5 - 10 FPS average!  (I do know how to install and config, so its not that... )

[a.k.a]

Athlon XP 1600 1.45 GHz
512 SDRAM
Geforce 2 MX400 64 MB
ECS K7S5A
MS Explorer Mouse Optical USB
MS Sidewinder Joypad USB
Win XP Pro

With no tweaks, 800x600 16bit and trails off, game runs very smooth expect centre of 2nd Island.  Using 3D Analyze helps a lot (removes stutter, slow down etc)

P III 600 mhz (full-cache)
320 MB SD-RAM
ATI Rage Xpert 128 bits 16 mb

------------------------------------

The game runs extremely slow! Only when i look to the ground i am able to walk normal... The framerate is very low and it is no fun to play this way I downloaded the XP patch to upgrade some DLLs but still it's very very slow.
i play 640*480*16 and everything is off... If anybody has any idea how i can improve the framerate i will be so happy!
