I would think that you should have a bit higher fps at 800x600 compared to 1680x1050.

Well if this makes sense, on my old SLI system Far Cry 2 ran faster at 1400x900 than at 1280x1024 (i know it was caused by sli)
 
1440x900 = 1,296,000 pixels
1280x1024 = 1,310,720 pixels

So 1440x900 will be faster than 1280x1024, all other things being equal.
 
i can say an e5200 at stock vs an opty165 at 2.5ghz on the same video card the latter just doesnt cut it. the e5200 isnt spectacular with this game, but very much acceptable. with the opty, i had to cripple the image quality, at least the 5200 can do full settings with playable framerates. im betting a 1ghz overclock on it would make this game scream...

you'll need a quad core for GTA4 ;)
 
I'll try the new patch first thing when I get home. Downloading it at work now and putting it on a flash drive ;) Too bad I've already beat the game. Patch 3 should have been the starting point! Lazy ass game companies.
 
At least they're patching it unlike other crappy console->pc ports in the past.

True enough, shame the initial release was so half-assed. I'll try the latest patch tonight and see if it fixes my minimum framerate problems (dips into low 20's regardless of settings - makes driving difficult). Haven't played recently due to being overworked, so it would be nice to play the final sections with smoother performance.
 
patched, with identical settings its slower. They messed with the settings though so it isnt truly comparable. I think the new shadows are more demanding or something
