Hey guys,

 

I just upgraded my PC about 4 months ago, maybe a little bit less/more than that.

 

Anyway.

 

This is my current set-up;

 

Asus p8z77-v

Kingston Hyper x Red x2 8GB ram ( Total 16gb )

XFX Radeon 7950 3gb Double D

60 gb SSD - Windows, and few softwares

2 TB HDD - Recording videos, video games, downloads,  etc.

250 gb HDD - No use yet

Corsair 650watt PSU  ( will be upgraded if I go with option 1 )

 

Now since GTA IV is such a shitty port, my game lags. On all high settings, now my question is. I need few opinions.

 

What should I upgrade my video card too?

 

1 ) +x2 XFX Radeon 7950 3gb double d/black edition/regular

2 ) x1  Powercolor 7990 6GB 

3 ) x1 XFX R9 290x ( whenever it comes out, or whatever is cheaper. )

4 ) Other ( if so you know what to do, include the name of the card below please :p )

 

Thanks for your time, and help!

 

edit:

 

Now I have been thinking about it, could the lag be caused by my hard drive? Since I noticed the game takes a while to load after the R* intro when you double click on the game.

You didn't mention what your CPU is which is pretty important.

yup stupid me, its not my CPU though.

 

 

i7-3770 3.4ghz

Really i dont think you should be lagging very much, but if your going to upgrade anything, i think you should upgrade your CPU

You should not be lagging on anything with that build. I have a GTX 660Ti 3GB and the others the same and I don't lag on one game.

This must be a joke right? What exactly am I going to upgrade it to? 4770 just for an extra 2 FPS? Common...

You're right but it wont go over 40, and it jumps quiet fast 40 - 30 - 20 - 30.

 

Right now it does not go under 30, but it sooo noticeable when the FPS jumps down to 30's from 40's.

You have an good PC Specs there, and that I do get lags with my GTX680 (boost to 1201) Intel i7 3930K. And that I do get good fps, like 60 when not recording and 40 or even 45 when I am recording.

 

-If I was you I would upgrade your GPU to  Radeon R9 270X 

Are you using any commandlines to increase performance?
