have you tried simple things like running it in high priority mode?

I have tried run as administrtator and compatiblity mode? And i have updated to the newest Nvidia now, and still just as bad

i said those are the settings and framerate you supposed to have, meaning you have bandwidth issues, in my opinion. you got two things you can do at this point. either patch to number 7 and use memrestrict commandlines if you haven't, or (what i would have done before this thread even started), physically remove the second card out and suck up the performance loss in other games... i won't even install games if i think they will mess up my GTA IV installations (i am talking about you Irrational/2K Games).

Didn't even patched the game, obvious pirate is obvious.

[unc13bud]

you make a really good point. the original poster keeps sidestepping my questions/statements about patching the game. i thought it was just a lack of reading comprehension. i am done with this thread.

[dred123]

Actually i bought the game when it originally come out, was there secound or third day after release and bought from morrisions. I can place it infront of my setup and take a pic if needed? so do not accuse it of being pirated!

Wow. Many people prefer the old patches because of the shadows and the graphics system overall because it's faster and more stable. I bought the game and I prefer patch 4 to 7. Doesn't make me a pirate.

From your benchmark, it sounds like your GPU is bottlenecking the CPU somehow, or something's using a lot of CPU. Check what you have open, try disabling antiviruses, etc. and try again.

Make sure all programs are closed and if you have windows vista/7 change color scheme

Maybe reinstall RGSC.

or reinstall GFWL.

or try going to the games folder and click LaunchGTA.exe

Your PC might be throttling/bottlenecking, like mine, an Asus G73SW-3DE.
Try using Throttlestop: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hardware-c...stop-guide.html
And set your mutiplyer, clock modulation, chipset clock mod to the max.
And Click Turn On, than minimize the app.

If your cooling system is good, (less than 80 while gaming)
turn BD Prochot and C1E Off
And if you overclock, turn EIST Off.
The rest of the features like adjusting your turbo power limits,
you may want to read the instructions on that. Before I had throttlestop, I had 2-19 FPS, even though my PC can handle MAX.
When using throttlestop, it fixes certain PCs that have throttling problems and I got 50- 90FPS on GTA IV at the max settings.

Hope it works for you as it did for me.

Anyways, while I play GTA IV and check my processor state, it shows 30% usage, with throttlestop, it runs at 100%.
