Thanks for watching :) - Наука та технологія
Its funny to me that this game has less stutters on my Steam Deck than it does on my high end Windows PC because it runs better through Proton
Runs beautifully on the steam deck!
Cause it runs under DXVK. The performance on Windows machine can also be drastically improved by using DXVK.
Might also be because there is system level frame limiting by default. Some games in my experience (including GTA V) have occasional frametime spikes if you let them run uncapped, possibly because it gives extra headroom for sudden extra bursts (e.g. physics, loading gameworld chunks) of CPU load, so they actually look smoother even if there's a lower average framerate.
@@ProtectusCZ yup, DXVK was the only way for me to get the game to be playable. Before I patched it with DXVK, the game got about 45-80 fps but would stutter every 5 seconds. After patching, I get 60-100 (no stutters) with RealityIV 2.0, Improved Vehicles IV, and FusionFix. I have a Ryzen 5 3600, RX 5700XT, and 32 GB RAM for reference.
Good thing you can just drop the vulkan .dlls into it
Can't believe it that them days on the 360 playing all the classics really was "back in the day" now. Still feels like it was just yesterday sometimes. Golden years.
I still remember playing this game for hours and then talking about it for hours with my mates at school. Seriously couldn't get enough of this game back then it was such a big release
We're going to be saying the same thing about GTA V when VI releases. Time sure does fly but some of those years sure were golden
@@senpaiobiwan not rly since gta 5 was milked for 10+ years already
@@senpaiobiwanTo be fair GTA V does feel old to play. GTA IV’s physics really hold the game up and has aged like fine wine.
I have a very distinct memory when I first played this game when I was 12 I think. Not long after my parents had split up and my dad had moved to an apartment in the city in a highriser and got himself a ps3. Playing it late into the night, looking out over the city. It felt so real. Imagining niko running around down there while I was safe up in the apartment. Was one of those moments where I realised how big and scary the world can be. It was very melancholic.
So roughly 15 years later and about 9 generations of hardware and we finally get GTA4 at playable framerates. This is cause for celebration
It's been playable for years, even my old 6700k system could play it at over 60 fps without the vulkan mod.
I was able to normally play on my i5-4690, GTX 1050 TI system.
@@wtfskilzit seems like you dont care about stutters..
It doesn't stutter with dxvk@@elinbarrage9638
I still get hella micro stutters with RTX 4060

yes but we talking about raw vanilla performance as people first experienced in 2008
but increases the load on graphics card
@@norger It doesn't do anything anyway

У меня на Вулкане просто по всему экрану пошла рябь, почему-то :(
Just leaving it here incase people don't know about it: DXVK helps a lot but there is a version that is better than the standard DXVK. That being DXVK GPL-async. Much less stuttering with it if any at all.
bro thank you for saying this. DXVK a-sync doubled my frame rate. GTA IV at most times now run smooth and doesnt have that many stutters. thank you so much
🎉
I remember when you put GTA4 through a (then) top spec PC a couple of years ago and it ran like a donkey through honey then......but through this beast its a bit better and I would like to think that some software patches might have helped but its STILL not perfect ! Which is a shame cos the game is amazing. Thanks for the video, Steve 🙂
Thanks for watching! Yeah still a few problems, but it holds up so well visually in my opinion
All you need to make it run smooth is DXVK. At this point no amount of hardware you throw at it will ever make it run smooth enough.
Could be worse.
Could be Saint's Row 2.
It looks much better with icenhancer 3 mod, very easy to install too, I've been thoroughly enjoying it. And runs great on my 5800x3d with just occasional stutters@@RandomGaminginHD
I'm surprised they made the game without worrying about how good it ran. You can make amazing game but if it doesn't run on anything nobody can buy and play it! At least it ran on the consoles enabling decent sales.
My older brother built his first PC specifically to play this game, back in 2009. It was an Athlon II X2 240 2.8Ghz, 4GBs DDR2 800Mhz, GeForce 9600 GT 1GB. Ran O.K. at 1360x768 at around 20~30 FPS low to medium. I bought that PC from him around 3 years later, but for whatever reason, I couldn't get the game to run myself. Only around the last bit of life of that PC that I finally gave GTA IV one last go and almost finished it. Than I got a better PC (Xeon E5 2640 v3 3.4Ghz turbo, 16GBs DDR4 1866Mhz, GTX 960 4GB), it ran at around 50~80 FPS at 1080p medium-high, but I still never finished it. Now I have a GTX 1660 Super and a 1440p monitor with that same PC, and GTA IV can run at 1440p very high around that same FPS, which is more than enough. Maybe it's time to finally beat it XD.
Why 1660 with 1440p
Ran the game myself with a 970 at 4K and it honestly ran amazingly. Granted it didn't HOLD 60 fps all the time but enough.
@@darthpotwet2668 That's just what I happened to have money for XD. It's a killer card for this CPU, though, as it's still using around 95% of the GPU, even with everything maxed out at 1440p.
@@BottomOfTheDumpsterFire Yeah, the 900 series GPUs do wonders for GTA IV. I truly believe that it was around the GTX 600 or maybe 700 series, GTA IV could already be considered "PC material" XD. The PC port at 1080p high is already way better looking than even the Xbox back compat, as it still got Xbox 360 blurry textures. Even a SATA SSD helps immensely with the stutters, and mods make everything even better.
@@necrotic666 ah yes because they were available in early 2019 and the same price as a 1660 that you could slot into an existing ten year old PC
back in the day I was playing on a Pentium D, 7300GT and 3 GB of RAM. 10 year old playing GTA IV, game of my life to be frank. Completed it 100% on Xbox Series X back in 2021
This game had very satisfying driving
Edit: things got heated up on comments lol 😆
Oh for sure. Some of the best
You two are joking right.... this game is a turd and always will be.. The episodes of Liberty have far superior driving. GTA4 is slow and sluggish nah not for me and never has been Also the story and the character sucks.

Love this. I was in QA for iV and it's indelible in my memory.. looking at this video, it still appears so classic and impressive, standing the test of time.
what a timing! i just bought the game on steam (i pirated it before) and was watching your last video! wow
Fantastic video and thank you for the shout out!
Thank you! And thanks for your amazing guide :)
You finally got mentined somewhere dude
Recently I retired my old AMD FX 8320, in its place came the I3 12100F and the first game I installed to test was GTA 4, I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing, the game is running at 60FPS without choking, it's beautiful.
Because FX CPU are not for gaming with those weak FPUs, heh.
GTA 4 was the only GTA that didn't run well on my FX, literally no PC at the time it was released ran well.
It's just a buggy game.
I decided to replay GTAIV with both expansions in December last year. As soon as I installed it on my Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX3070 it turned out it was unplayable. My character was invisible, the mini-map was missing textures as well and the fps drops were insane. After installing DXVK it's become smooth and fixed most of the problems. Then still, some of the ladders in main missions were broken and I had 2 unfixable problems where the game was crashing each time in the same places during main missions - surprisingly it turned out that the game is very much "hardware sensitive" and copying it over to ROG Ally worked both times (once inthe main game and once in TBoGT).
This is honestly my first time hearing about this! And I've been on PC since 2014 I think? I had a GTX 650 Ti back then, 1GB VRAM. I think I also had an Athlon X4 750k (God that thing is ancient now), and I don't remember ever having issues running GTA IV on max settings.. Like I distinctly remember building that PC and getting into GTA IV and being surprised how good everything looked cause I was able to max it out.
Been anticipating this video since I started watching you 😤😤😤
You should do a send-off video for the RX 580. It's now starting to struggle with games that just released
Yeah still hanging in there but due a proper revisit at some point for sure!
Only the most intensive ones the recent ones this year all run good
if a GPU from 2017(2016) doesn't struggle with new released games I would wonder if games are really advancing
It's almost time for my RX 580 8GB to go, but the thing is a trooper. Found it on par with a 1080 (not Ti) more often as it aged.
@@DirranProductions I don't understant in what situation a RX 580 can be on par with a 1080
U can mod the game to run smoothly. Its no problem anymore.
Yeah good point. DXVK is a great place to start
@@RandomGaminginHD Didn't you already do this in your older videos?
dxvk causes more issues than solves
What mods?
How about Rockstar don't mod they're own game?
How nice to heard from this game. I just beat it yesterday for the first time and enjoyed it quite much.
Holy shit! RandomGamingInHD!! I watched this channel back in lockdown, then the algorithm did it's thing.. Time to crack a beer and catch up!
I dont know but this man is absolute 💯
That GPU usage is pretty high especially with DXVK. My 1050 Ti struggles at 1440p60 as well, how the heck did this game even run in 2008??
It didn't. It crawled.
1050ti... Ahh I wish we lived in a time where I could think of it as the saint of a GPU it once was. Now mine is on its last legs and only runs 2016s games. Still offers a smooth desktop experience for my laptop for most of the time, unless I want to watch youtube videos in 1440P. Built a PC last year with more buffy stuff and it was the best decision I've made this year. Hope you get yours too!
Imagine expecting your games to run at 60 fps back in those days, nah, you just didn't. You had it better than consoles but not great.
I didn't quite play it in 2008, but I did in 2013 with a low-mid range (at the time! it got outdated really quickly and I got an entirely new PC by 2015/16) GPU, the GT630 1GB, along with a dual core Celecon from a few years prior and 2GB of DDR2 ram. At a mix of random settings and 768p resolution it ran well enough for me to beat the game twice, definitely over 30 FPS at most times. I think the game just fails to scale up with modern hardware. It worked okay for the time back in the day.
To be fair I remember my friends 1050 having some issues with CoD world at war.
TJGM does the best GTA mod fix videos.
just bought the 4070 ti super gigabyte eagle oc 4 days back .. . i also bought the 3070 3yrs ago. when yuh uploaded the gta 4 video with 3070. 😊
i had i7 7700 non k back then with my 3070 which i upgraded to i7 12700 non k at launch jan 2022.
You bought my current "dream" card. I still run my gigabyte 2070 super. Do you like your new card? How loud is it?
actually vanilla max settings only does so much and fusionfix can help the game get closer to a remaster graphics wise
I played GTA IV on a Lenovo ideapad with an AMD A8 4500 APU and it was playable at low/medium settings. I still have the laptop as it has a lot of older games installed and works pretty well, I ought to revisit the game and use a FPS counter
Oh me too ish not idea pad but Toshiba att it was an a10 8650g or something like that it ran well too. But eventually burned out its motherboard
Game was not that demanding on 720p low/med settings which were close to PS3 gameplay. Anything higher than that was simply poorly implemented, as it was meant for some future hardware.
I reapplied the thermal paste and kept the fans and fins clean on the coolers. I also ran an AMD overclocking utility and tweaked the clock speeds and voltages. I thought about buying an A10 cpu to upgrade the machine, they still fetch good money so might as well just upgrade the laptop.
Still play GTA IV now and then, back when I was really into it I had so many mods mainly police car and police light mods. Loved it, Don't really have room for my big ass pc anymore but now PC power can come in small packages I kind wanna build a small ring and defo play this again modded

@@RandomGaminginHD considering the game bugs out beyond 60 fps anyway you dont really need it.
@@dmer-zy3rbno it doesn't lol
@@tysopiccaso8711 yes it does - look it up. Actually ALOT of older games have problems above 60 including every GTA game.
I remember buying a new pc around 2009 and being super happy to finally play gta 4, it ran at like 30 fps
Got a steam deck oled on the way I can't wait to play this. Crazy that people say in the comments this game runs well on deck
4:30 sick drift
I confirm the game has issues if you do not lock the fps at 60.
The only example off the top of my head is a mission where you have to tap the space bar quickly to lift yourself up in a helicopter. If your fps is above 60 you can tap as fast as you want, you are not getting up and are soft-locked from progress.
After hours of googling the only easy workaround I found was enabling v-sync and using an old 60hz monitor - this caps the framerate at the monitor's refresh rate.
Yup, on Out of Commission. This actually makes it impossible to beat via BC on Xbox since the Xbox 360 version of GTA 4 only had very soft locks on framerate, so with more modern Xboxes, it'll scale right up to 60 FPS on its own, but the mission is scripted to check for a particular number of presses that would be right at 30 FPS. Interestingly enough, this was actually fixed on PC in 2016 with patch 8, but further patches seemed to lose this fix and so the mission is broken at higher FPS again.
Also worth noting that higher FPS also affects bikes, so they become super-slidey and awful to control. Locking to 60 or 30 FPS will make them move as they were intended.
But using a 65 inch monitor will affect that mission though I low the resolution? Please answer me this question I don't wanna buy an old monitor.
@@dany.alejandrotorres just lock the frame rate or reduce the game's core affinity to one core to limit your FPS during that scene
@@MultiYippee but lowing the resolution will work?
@@MultiYippee???????
I remember replaying GTAIV in 2012 on a GTX 480 and i5 3570k with 8GB of RAM at 1080p max settings and the game ran smoothly at 120fps. I know the PC port was rough at launch with common PC builds of the era, but I never understood the complaints of poor performance on newer high-end rigs.
driving physics are sooo good. Only by looking at it i can feel the weight of the car and the level of grip of each tyre .)
I got GTA4 as a Christmas gift in 2008. I had a computer less than three years old at the time.
I finally got to play the game in 2011 when I bought a new computer.
It just wouldn't run properly on the old PC. It was fine for a few minutes and then out of the blue the frame rate just dropped to single digits and would never recover without restarting the game. Did it on all settings. Never found out the reason.
probably memory leak or overheating lol
IDK, guys, GTX 570 + i5 2500k (non-overclocked) + 8GB RAM was pretty smooth on full hd max settings in this game.
Yeah, back when full hd max was 1080p lmao
You can mostly play at unlocked framerates and be fine but keep in mind there are certain game logic tied to framerate which will not work as intended. Example, the garage door for Brucie's car boosting side missions, located at Broker, has it's opening and closing logic tied to framerate and will softlock you if Niko does not exit the garage in time before it closes during a cutscene, effectively forcing you to restart the game to lock the framerate back to 60 if you want to complete it.
Why devs still make things tied to fps rate is beyond me
Yes, GTA IV runs very well on my 2014 amd four core laptop, on patch 4 with modded lowest settings at 800 x 600 anamorphic widescreen to run at an average of 30-25, 1% low being 20-15 and the 0.1% low achieving a marvellous 5 fps.
DXVK is magic, so awesome that a drag and drop can help so much
Protip: DXVK for this game
@@mattburg94 GTA IV is a thousand times better than V or even 6 in the future
Thanks for the info in the video, but... does this DXVK thing also work for any other dx9 titles? I play GTA SA and a favourite racing game called NR2003... so im confused.
I have recently tried it on my ryzen 7 5800x3d, rx 6800 and 32gb ram combo and I noticed that the higher the resolution the smoother the experience is. In 1080p I had hickups every now and then, but in 4k it was soooo smooth.
X3D cpus are way better for games
GTA IV and its DLCs are still the best IMO. It's a classic game with great storylines, characters, music and gameplay. Peak Rockstar IMO
yep this was where R* peaked, too bad they have only been falling since
@@The93Momo93they are dead when the OG guys left
Ah...still remember those stunt and car crash compilations :3
Makes me wanna try it again with my Ryzen 3800x and 1080Ti rig. Did you have to do some regular update through Steam or is this a new bundle that has to be purchased to get the update you mentioned?
it converted automatically in my steam library. dont forget to use DXVK
I played (and finished) GTA IV in my 360 but never on a PC. 5 was the same deal but I tried it on a computer and I was amazed, With a GTX 1660 looked incredible, I should try it with my 6700 XT now.
Not sure about IV (have it, never played it) but V will need the settings set to max to stay away from the 180fps stutter zone, at least on my 6750 XT. Is IV that much worse?
@@MoultrieGeek I believe that 180 FPS breaks the game due to engine limitations. No matter what your system is.
I seriously think it plays the best in linux using proton, no joke, runs great on steamdeck
For sure
Cyberpunk with no RT ran better on Linux for a while also, DXVK is fucking magic.
i was surprised that my $600 PC ran this at stable 1080p 60 at very high. just had to turn off night shadows, didn't really miss it anyway.
it made the experience so much better (especially texture resolution) that i went and played the entire GTA IV story again and both DLCs. had an absolute blast.
this game is a LOT more fun when it's running smooth.
huge replay recommendation
I run a 13th gen i9 in my desktop and keeping the heat under control is one of the main problems. I'm air cooling right now but am gonna change to a rad and see what difference that makes. I did liquid metal it and got a 12-15 degree drop in temps and I'm planning on doing the same in my laptop with an 11th gen i9 and a 3070.

I still remember when I installed GTA IV for the first time back in 2012, 12 years ago, and it was completely unplayable at first but then I just google a fix and updated the game to the lattest version plus added a patch I found somewhere and it started running fine on my FX8120 with an HD7770

this classic game is a must play once every couple of years
RandomGaminginHD, hello. About the DirectX 9 issue - I noticed that A Hat in Time (a DX9 title) performed really badly in some areas of the game, especially Mafia Town. It seems like GPUs beyond Pascal/Polaris really do not like this old API in general. For example, at some points in the game, I was only getting ~35 FPS on a 6800H 6700M 135w laptop (~95% of the actual desktop GPU, or 8/9ths of a 3060 Ti), which is very low considering it can easily do far more than that. It was performing more akin to a Core 2 Duo GTX 650 system or so in that game. Using DXVK, the framerate usually more than tripled to over 110 in Mafia Town, and the hardware was properly utilized. Thus, it is no surprise that DXVK helped GTA IV's performance significantly and smoothed out the framestutters.
It's not that DX9 is old, it's Hat in Time that's infamous for its performance.
@@raresmacovei8382win 10 had a lot of bugs with dx9 I think most of them never got fixed. I had the same results on a lot of DX 9 games some never went above 20fps unless I used dxvk and this is on a GTX 1070 and Ryzen 5 1600x system.
Omfg this pc made my favorite game look flawless
Best GTA in the series. Thanks.👍👍
Wow, only took decade and a half to do it. What a great port /s
It was the game to bring my C2D setup to its knees at the time, and clearly did the same to many superior machines years later.
I've been replaying all the GTA's in order and just got to IV a week or so ago and it's insane to me that I can't run it on a 2080ti without having to turn some settings down
Years ago GTA IV ran without stutters on my ASUS ROG G73jh laptop but was a stutter fest on my desktop which was way more powerful. It runs with no issue on my current rig, finally...
DXVK and FusionFix really do make a world of difference to GTA 4's performance in my experience, I'm running an i5 12400F and a GTX 1080 on Very High 1080p with the fps locked to 60 (to stop physics issues), it runs great, I very rarely have any frame drops whatsoever compared to the stock game
My only hope is that GTA 6 has some of those GTA 4 driving mechanics. With some added traction of course.
I actually played through this entire game last month on a 10850k and base 3080, at 1440p. it was wonderfully smooth at 60fps even at max traffic density and etc, the only issue i had was that i had to push some traffic out the way to get the tail missions moving with that much traffic. Shows how inconsistent it is.
I played this game with a pentium E6300, 4Gb Ddr2 @800 mhz and a geforce 210 😂 i enjoyed it way more when i was a kid than when i grew up and played it on a 9900k with an rtx 2080.
It would be interesting to see how the frame rates change if car's headlights are turned on during the daytime. From what I have noticed, on lower end hardware it reduces frame rate by 50% when using max settings.
Really? That’s something I’ve not looked into before.
@@RandomGaminginHDtry to drive from beachgate with headlights on
I used DxVK for this game, runs fine on maxxed out settings on my Rx 580 build, although I lock it to 30 fps to avoid inconsistent fps.
If you ran it stock with no overclocking on CPU and RAM then the result is pretty much invalid, because there's certainly performance on the table when you use hardware like that. Also did you try to run it on performance cores only, or limit the game to only 1 or 2 P-cores?
Legendary video
Great Video as always but on a personal note, If I where to invest in any new motherboard I would never in a thousand years buy Intel Right now. I'd rather go either AMD or wait two years for another tock that hopefully supports a few releases again. Other than that observation its pretty much what I expected, the Cache on both GPU/ SSD / CPU has increased in these last few years. Meaning the micro stutters in loading assets from SSD to RAM to VRAM is a lot less noticeable. I used a RAM disk Util on an installation of Saints row 2 to get rid of as many frame time drops as possible.
I am russian, and I remember the day father bought me the disk with GTA IV on Playstation 3. I ran to download it, then launched and... was surprised. It was only in English and I had no idea what to do, but I wanted to play so eagearly and I just started doing it 😂😂😂
10 years after I decided to apply to a university of foreign languages and now I am in love with English.
So this game rests deeply in my heart even though I used to not to get the language. I decided to learn it instead of qutting the game 😅😅😅
The best days in this life are so further away, never imagined back to my childhood that one day I would write such a comment on a video about GTA IV 😢😢😢
On my 3080 and i5 13500 it also runs well :))
Very smooth, no issues. I feel it should run even better, though it is expected
TJGM mentioned!!!!!!!
I played through GTA IV the other month, and it didn't seem that bad only issue I ran into was when you jump the bike to the helicopter, and when you need to spam to climb up it just wouldn't do it. So just for that part I had to adjust the number of processors selected for the GTA IV process, and then I could complete that mission, after you're in the helicopter change it back to all processors and you should be good to continue.
Just replayed it plus all dlcs using a couple subtle mods like fusion fix on a 7800x3d and tuf 4080. Still is the best GTA
I remember playing gta 4 on an acer laptop with a core 2 duo and an 8400m GS back in 08/09
while it wasn't thermal throttling it would be fairly smooth on high settings 720p
same thing with STALKER games buttery smooth until it throttled
console ports man
SO I have a intregrated Gpu intel UHD 630 paired with i3 8100T .I played this game 2 years ago with 28 fps lock at medium settings ,reflection high ,shadow medium ,draw distance low and texture high cause i got ram and it doesnt matter ,I used valkun api with reshade graphics mods to make my game look better and also remove that yellowish filter added car and bikes mod as well as new guns really enjoyed this game ,really a legendary game from rockstar ,BTW my resolution was 960 *540
very good video.
If I recall correctly there have been plenty of mods arisen in the last 2-3 years that massively improved the game in terms of performance and visuals. Obviously we are talking about the vanilla game here and it boggles the mind how this isnt just maxed out with that level of hardware power
I would love to see you testing Saints Row 2 PC port on the same PC set up.
Nice test. I also love this game especially for the physics. Can you test the 3050 6gb version that just came out? It would ve very interesting to see how it performs.
Yeah will hopefully test it soon :)
LOL This is so funny. I recently spent 3.5k on a PC and finally got this game to run at 4K60. Above that, but I'll be modest. I know not everyone is so fortunate
Sorry but the new PC failed. It slipped to under 60fps in the 0.1% lows. Maybe in another 3/4 years we'll see a PC worthy of running this great game.
I remember back in the day playing it smoothly with 2 ATI Radeon 3870 in crossfire on max settings.
i remember playing this in 2009 with a phenom2 955be and a hd 5770, ran like shit with around 25 to 30fps but i had so much with this game. i mostly played the airport map in mp because that was the only map that had over 40fps.
Awesome 😎👍🎉

Every time I see one of your videos in my feed, I get a deep feeling within my body, a feeling of euphoria, I am deeply attracted to you, brother. This isn't Random Gaming, this... this is Euphoric Gaming.
Gotta use them optimization mods to get the game chuggin along
How long did it take before you could play Crysis at max settings with acceptable frames? It has to have been almost as long as GTA IV.
I played through it and the addons last year, and it worked just fine in 4k, and at 30fps on the Steam Deck, and man, GTA4 on the go is a blast!
This game is still SO good. I would never have guessed all those years ago that this game would still be one of the greatest ever made. I would say the vast majority of games that have come since would struggle to even come close. But of course that's just my humble opinion :)
I've been playing it recently with maxed out settings on an 11600k, 64gb DDR4 3200, and 3080 TUF gaming OC on quiet mode, with a 1440p 144hz 34" ultrawide monitor.
I would say this provides a pretty good experience! it's pretty rare that I will notice any stutters or major frame dips. It's usually only at night when the frame rate takes a big hit, or when going super fast. (I modded most of the cars to have realistic top speeds). Other than that it's often pinned at 144hz 🙂👍
I used DXVK and some ini fix that I don't remember but I play it at basically "6k" (I forget the exact resolution) with a Ryzen 7 5800x and RX 6800
I play GTA IV (Steam Version) at the moment with an Ryzen 9 5900X and a RTX 3070 TI - i have not made any benchmarks but it runs very smooth on WQHD all settings max. (except traffic, thats to annoying) but sometimes after i start a games i have micro sutters, very subtle and very few, almost not noticable, but after like 10 minutes in the game they are gone. I played it years ago on an i7 2600K and GTX970 in 1080p, it was very well playable but not as smooth and sharp as now, it is almost a new experiance.
