Spec of the PC is

Windows 7
All GFX / Game / Win7 updates installed

A64 4200 X2 (2.2ghz)
4gbDDR2 ram
9800GT (1gbGDDR3)

Game is also a legit version, not a download.

It doesnt matter what settings we use, 800x600 with low settings or 1280x1024 with higher texture settings, whenever it gets busy on screen it becomes almost unplayable, to the extent where some of the missions where you have a room full of guys to shoot you simply cant do it because the game doesnt keep up with you.

I would of thought on that spec it should be as fluid as the console version on lower settings surely? Or is there a registry trick or anything I can do to help it? I know how to overclock GFX cards and processors etc but its not my computer so wont be doing that

it runs pretty shyt on any spec pc tbh .. mine is similar to your pc but you have more ram and mine struggles when it gets busy , even with not much on screen you sometimes get slowdown. dont think there is a deal you can do.

Is it just a shitty GFX engine then? Ive noticed this with all the PC versions of the modern 3d GTA's He doesnt mind playing it like it though, even though when he comes here and plays it on the 360 its smooth as silk, o well

gta iv, was terribly optimized on PC..

i played it for 30 seconds before deleting it.

as far as i know unless you have a supercomputer, then there isnt much chance im afraid.
