Hi guys

My sytem is a laptop

Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T6600 @ 2.20GHz
Video Card: GeForce 9700M GT Turbocache 1.8 GB = 512MB Video Card and 1.3 GB System Memory

Okay, this is what i dont no

Scanning with can you run it = Medium
Scanning with YouGamers = minimum specs

But when i am playing i play 1920X1080 Very High all those things and getting 20/30 FPS and with ENB Series on 14/25 FPS
WTF is wrong with my laptop -_-

My question is this: how the hell can you get that good performance on that laptop? You should be satisfied with the performance you're getting. If you're not, then lower the graphic settings.

There is nothing wrong with your laptop besides the fact that it actually seem to run GTA IV well.

Pics/video of gameplay or it didnt happen

Ok,

I will make a gameplay or what ever it is called

I can't play it very high anymore -_- i rapped my game up with the new patch 1.0.7.0 --!
I got now texture problems but i will make a video now
Do you now something about texture problems

[Mrmelvin1]

Here you have the gameplay

GTA 4 HIGH GAMEPLAY ON A LAPTOP

Sorry for bad quality

[luceberg]

Can you do a video that goes from the graphics page to gameplay, but this time without editing it?

Anyway, it runs ok on lower settings.

The memrestrict command is useful to reduce pop in on patch 1.0.7.0.

What do you mean with Can you do a video that goes from the graphics page to gameplay and i didn't edit it it's just the recorded gameplay from my mobile

[luceberg]

Ok, fair enough, it's the mobile phone making it look low quality.

Actually. the relatively weak cpu works in your favour, putting less stress on the graphics card than a more powerful one would.

All the same, I would lower the settings to get optimum performance.

[unc13bud]

yeah! the main two things i think about when tweaking performance in GTA IV is CPU and how many shaders the card has.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...-GT.9454.0.html
only 32 shader cores?!! all your settings need to be low, except maybe medium textures. turn reflections off, you don't need it!
nvidia's chip naming suxs!!! i thought this was an updated chip over a 9600gt (which has like 64 shader cores iirc). this has half of that?!! someday they are going to reap what they sow...

[dansgas1000]

Wow that can run full HD on laptop max settings?

HOLY SH*T

My PC can barely run minimum at 20fps

[jmcc84]

gta4 is a cpu freak, requires a 3 or 4 core cpu to run smoothly, and operating at least at 2.8Ghz

Hi,

Today i got a new computer with a octa core (8 cores) AMM FX 8120

[mkey82]

Well, melvin, you could have 64 cores, but GTAIV is still going to use only 3 of them.

thnx for post

but i got a new computer today and it runs smooth on 1600x1200 with high settings

[mkey82]

Great, at least some people are happy with performance.

[totter]

I have the 9600 GT and a Core 2 Quad 8200 CPU. It's a desktop PC. I get slightly better framerates than you, but mostly the same, also with ENBSeries (I use iCEnhancer).

Impressive little laptop
