What causes fps drop and what causes texture loss? Does deleting other games will make fps boost?

Texture loss and stutter can be caused by: 

 - "Heavy" mods such as high-poly car mods, texture mods etc

 - Your GPU that cannot handle the game

 - Memory leak

or a combination of the above. Deleting other games will not affect your FPS. Your FPS is determined by the above + running background programs. 

Outdated/low spec PC parts, graphical, player and vehicle modifications. No, deleting other games will not give you an FPS boost, the only thing that will do is free up hard drive space.

 

EDIT: Damn you ineseri.

What does memory leak mean?

This article explains it well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

Get rid of high poly cars in your police-police4 slots, and disable ELS for those cars (assuming your using EFLC, if not just police-police2 for GTAIV).  

 

Also,If you have a 2-gig or better GPU, use a commandline.txt (make one) and in it put the following and place txt file in your root game folder.  The main line you want is the first one, you can add or remove lines below the -availablevidmem line to experiment how it helps (or not):

 

-availablevidmem 2

-noprecache

-novblank

-norestrictions

-nomemrestrict 

 

You can add others or remove the rest of the lines under -availablevidmem 2, which you can change that 2 to higher numbers like 4, 8 or 10, but anything higher than 2 on my system, my police don't spawn at the police station when going on duty.  I have to call the mechanic to deliver a car.

 

Other than that, you can try using MemTurbo4, but that has to be setup correctly to work properly.  MemTurbo killed any texture loss before I found the commandlines that work for my system.  

 

Good luck!!
