yesThose are all the settings?
I pumped up a few settings that really dont seem to have made a difference.Also,my GTX280 temps arent as high as other demanding games which makes me think something is amiss.

Not too bad. What are all of these people complaining about?
The in game benchmark doesn't 100% reflect what you will see while playing.
I don't think people are complaining about average FPS, it's the minimum. Some guy on the main game forum with a fast X2 and 8800 had a screenshot at 13 fps, while just standing on the street at 1024x768 !
Ack!
Got it.
Well I am going to pick it up today, so I will have to see how my rig does.
How smoothly does it run in game with a nvidia card?
Better but still shitty.
Not bad but it could definitely be better..My 280 is running about 12 degrees cooler than other games which makes me believe my card still isnt being stressed..Also,there is NA AA in this game..It doesnt look horrible but surely not good... How smoothly does it run in game with a nvidia card?

Bugger me to hell! I was so ready to pull the trigger on two copies but not if its a poorly ported pile of turd. A game as ugly as GTA4 should not stress a GTX280 or 4870X2.
Will wait to see whether a patch is going to be released to fix the performance issues.
Post benches with that Core i7 920
Seeing as some people are talking about it requiring newer hardware to run good, I'm starting to wonder if my rig can handle it. My current rig is in my sig.
I hope my rig can at least play it because I've been waiting for the PC version because of mods. I've read on a few websites that my mobo can't use quads, so I'll have to get to overclocking. lol

GTA 4 for PC is NOT a port.

Apparently you haven't played the game. its worse than a port. Its buggier, and you can't even adjust the controls. They didn't even bother allowing you to customize your controls, and the controls screen is just a picture of a 360 controller. The game is already a piece of shit.
Oh, and it runs like shit on a 4870x2, and it looks worse than consoles.
game is CPU dependent. upgrade your cpu if u want more fps

God help us if all new games require a CPU faster than a quad core clocked at 3.6 ghz. Next time you take a trip in your delorium to the future would you mind picking us up some Octocore cpus clocked at 5 ghz so we can play buggy console ports....thanks in advance

Texture Quality
Texture quality affects the visual quality of the content of the game. High setting for textures will require 600MB of video memory at a setting of 21 View Distance in addition to the memory taken by the Video Mode. A medium texture setting is recommended for most users.
View Distance
A setting of 22 or more will provide PC users an enhanced experience over the console versions.
Detail Distance
A setting of 10 would be the equivalent to the performance on a console.
Shadow Density
Shadow Density controls the number of shadows generated for positional lights in exterior environments. These shadows are exclusive to the PC version and can have a major impact on CPU and GPU performance.
you sir need to calm down.No matter how low I turn down the settings, it still runs at 5-15fps. Turning off the second GPU makes ZERO difference. This game was a waste of $50. Even if I turn it down to the console settings, it still runs like shit, and my GPU is significantly more powerful than an Xbox 360's. This game needs to be pirated. Fuck the Console ports, this is getting fucking ridiculous.
