GTA Index Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hello everybody you might remembered me, i created a topic first : http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/topic/23964-omg-gta-iv-too-slow-after-upgrading-to-n9600/ now i've purchased a new pc and it matched with the Recommended PC System Requirements! (i tested my PC Specs for GTA4 at SystemRequirementsLab) now my GTA IV is working perfect on day (ingame) but on night i feel the difference between the resolution, i just don't understand why is this happening cuz day and night shouldn't matter, i'm asking you guys for a solution or maybe any mod that disables night in GTA4 ? also when some weather changes like cloud,more traffic it hangs though at some places it works like a charm, any help guys ?

WRX22B1998 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 wait...so your specs are different from the other topic you made? whats your specs now, what CPU, ram, video card do you have ? and im guessing, night is more demanding on your resources, more traffic etc takes more power to render than no traffic you just need to lower your settings (or upgrade your machine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try upgrading to SP3 however your RAM will still be present and perform weather you do or not. Use CPU-Z to find your main specifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
