What going on guys. Here's a story.

 

 

So, since DAY 1 I have has poor graphics. YET on paper it's good with 8GB RAM , i5 ,AMD Radeon HD 6570. But I'm not saying there amazing parts but I expected better. What am I doing wrong all my drivers are updated I don't get super 20 FPS on a raw game (NO ENB's) so wtf like I really did think I'd get better Any programs? (Used game booster ,it's a no-no, have MSI afterburner and I up my fan speed should I be doing something else) Overclock? Best commandline?

 

 

Thanks I'd  love help.

Game booster? Commandlines?

Can you post a pic of the poor graphics?

It has nothing to do with ingame graphic settings or something...?

Well first. I mentioned the first two things you said already.

 

Not poor graphics. Just lag (FPS)

Try this commandline: 

 

-norestrictions

-nomemrestrict 

-percentvidmem 100

-memrestrict 681574400

-memrestrict 629145600

-noprecache

-novblank

-norestrictions 

-nomemrestrict 

-frameLimit 0 

-width 1366 

-height 768 

-texturequality 2 

-renderquality 4 

-shadowdensity 1 

-viewdistance 29 

-detailquality 29 

-percentvidmem 100 

-availablevidmem 27.0

 

To add it in, just create a text document named "commandline.text" and add it in to your GTA IV directory. Let me know if that helps.

Oh sorry.

It is most likely the mods you are using. Depending on the type and size, it can affect the PC performance.

I do kind of go in game purely to get screenshots. So an line here that might effect my quality in shots?

Here's how I look at it. Your quality and efficiency of taking screenshots depends on your frames. It would take forever to actually focus on something in the game if you have no frames. 

 

For the quality of the screenshots, try putting up some of your video settings when you press Esc in game (such as water settings and view distance). If you add that commandline in, you should be able to get a bit more frames which will hopefully make the pictures a bit better.

Thanks. As far as in-game goes everything is monitored as best I can.

No problem. All I would suggest is try the commandline by pasting it into a text document and naming it "commandline.txt" without the quotations, then putting it into your main GTA IV directory. You should be able to get a bit of more better frames and hopefully be able to get some of those graphics settings up and get some better screenshots. 

The graphics card's garbage, that's what's doing it to you. No amount of tweaking will make the FPS any better, you just have to lower your details or upgrade your graphics card.
