How far away do you have to stand to see the whole thing?

I'm in the same boat as you, my other computer (A Mac) runs GTA IV at about the same level of performance as the new one, albeit my new one can do it on slightly higher settings. Someone suggested using patch 1.0.4.0 instead of 1.0.7.0. I might try that, but I don't want to reinstall the game to do it. I've already had to do that about 7 times because I tried to install an ENB. ENBs never work for me. I tried lowering the settings and now I get about 50-75 FPS, usually in the 60s. When I start to record with FRAPS it locks at 30.

Does the steering wheel work in GTA IV?

Thanks people! I am in need of a monitor and wanted to get some names. Thanks again!

What monitor do you use, and how do you like it?

I'm using the stock cooler. I get about 30-60 FPS (Usually in the 40's) in GTA IV on Med-High settings, but for some reason in ARMA 2, my system bottoms out at around 30-40 FPS on Low-Med settings and I can't figure out why. A guy on YouTube has a regular 770 and 3rd gen i5 and he can max it out, I don't know why I can't with a 4770k and a SC'd 770. I thought Overclocking might give me an edge, but I am starting to think it there is a problem giving me low performance. By the way, unr3al, you have a 3770k and 670, on GTA IV on Max Settings what FPS do you get? I seem to get 30-40 no matter what setting it's on. Hmmmmmm...

No, I paid a developer so I could get the beta like a boss.

Oh. Classic GTA IV problems I guess. By the way, does anyone know of a good recording program besides FRAPS that does not make huge files but still has good quality? Thanks!

Hello, I just built a computer and I want to know how much I can overclock the CPU before I need to get fancy with more fans/liquid cooling. How much so could I overclock, and how much of a difference in FPS would it have in GTA IV for instance. I get about 30-70 FPS on Max Settings. The 30 is a little too low for my liking. It only gets that low at night or something or when there are a lot of lights flashing. Also, even after a heated round of GTA IV or Battlefield 3, the case isn't even warm to the touch. Thanks Intel i7 4770k Haswell @ 3.5 GHz EVGA GTX 770 Superclocked 8GB RAM 1600 MHz 4 Case fans, 3 pushing air out, 1 pushing air in

I have iOS 7 on my phone and it's amazing. The only problem is that the colors of the icons on the home screen are kind of too bright/too high contrast. The battery also drains faster.

Okay it worked, the ENB thing went away after deleting that.

Yes I do, I just deleted it and I am going to launch GTA IV and see what happens.

Hello, I installed an ENB, it didn't work, so I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it. Now the game works, the ENB is gone, but upon launching the game, I still get this thing that says "ENB SERIES" and some other text. I have reinstalled the game several times. It won't go away. Any ideas? Thanks.

Did anyone else watch the Season 5 finale last night of Southland? Without spoling it, I can't believe it, the ending. That was ridiculous. I hope TNT renews Southland for 6th Season. I like many people want to know what happens. Of the season finales of Southland, last night's felt the most unfinished.

I believe the weapon sound are the Battlefield 3 sounds and my pistol sound is one that I made as a mod but it is different now. Here is the pistol - http://www.gta4-mods.com/weapons/push-hk-usp-45-with-working-flashlight-v25-f16853

I got an offer from TGN several months ago, but I turned it down because I'm not a fan of the indemnification clauses all over the contract. By the way, if your video is ever "Under Review" try this:

If you are like me, you might be pretty annoyed with the update Google made that put the AdSense earnings report on YouTube instead of AdSense. Not only is it now hard to understand, but it's also now pretty inaccurate. Please sign the petition to Google to put it back. Thank You

What settings are you supposed to run an ENB on then? What frame rates do you get with it? Thanks for the help by the way

Thanks for the detailed response! I am building my second rig now and have chosen the GTX 670 and the 3570k. I am holding off on ordering the parts since I am still on the fence about the CPU. The extra $100 for the 3770k would hold me off another month or 2 until I get the extra money together, I'm still not sure if it's worth it. The thing that amazes me is that GTA IV came out in 2008, and even with today's most advanced hardware, we still have a problem running it with high FPS!

Is the 3770k really necessary? Isn't the 3570k effectively the same when it comes to actual, noticeable performance? Also, what about the NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti? What kind of FPS could I get in GTA IV on max settings, or Battlefield 3 on Ultra? Thanks.
