It sounds like overheating. Is this a laptop or a desktop?

Also what is the GPU name exactly? [run>dxdiag>display]

Check the memory usage in resource monitor. You should be using Windows 7 64bit for that system anyway. 32bit can only use about 3Gb of your ram.

Just lower your settings a bit to something like I have in my signature and you should be fine
To be more precise, turn off Night Shadows (they look ugly anyway) and put your sliders at something like 50-50-50.

You can also Google the commandline switch, it helped me quite a bit too

If you tried everything, try these tips also. They gave me +20 FPS.

EFLC should have more performance than GTA 4.

I meant:

On windows desktop, right click on the toolbar>task manager>performance>resource monitor>memory.

Now run the game with this open to check ram memory usage. Use the windows button on the keyboard to return to the desktop while the game is running.

The fastest Nvidia card on the market and a i5 and people are saying lower settings.. He isn't even on a high resolution..

get CPU threads below 500 in task manager and get rid of anything not MS that uses more than 12% CPU. Turn off all cuda cores and filtering and max back buffers in nvidia panel. Make sure hyper threading is on CPU unless it's a quad core.

20k gaming rigs only get 65FPS in heavy scenes at 1080 with everything maxxed

Turn off all cuda cores ...

So you're telling him to turn off his GPU?

We're just telling him to lower his settings because this is IV we're talking about, that's just the way it goes.
This game is horribly coded, and even he's got to turn it down a little.

Are you sure you got i5 not C2Q ? Im asking becouse benchmark sometimes recognizes your CPU wrong.

Put this to 25 or less and everything will work well.

Here are best settings for you

He's supposed to max out the game, not use patches and tweaks.

He just can't max out the game, and if you want to get better performance, then why do you say he has to turn the Vehicle Density down if you put the View Distance up and Night Shadows on Very High?

Did you read what he said?

QUOTE

I had about 30-40fps but after 1-2min the fps drops to 10-15frame

His PC is good enough to run the game on maxed out settings but after 1-2 mins hundreds of cars gets spawned on streets and that causes massive lags

[Exxon]

Uhm ... cars get spawned as soon as you start playing, and they disappear if you go to far away, so I just don't think cars are the problem.
But that's quite stupid seeing that the View Distance and Night Shadows are way more demanding than the vehicles

I'd think that it has something to do with the memory getting 'filled', I suggest you get a 64bit version of Windows 7

No, there is a litle delay betwen starting the game and cars being spawned, I have not as good PC and I play with View Distance on 100 and Night Shadows on Very High without any fps drops

[Wass]

I just wanna know how to unlock the FPS,cuz this seems very weird why the fps increase only when I go to the pause menu and get back and why it drops down again ??
