The Only FIX for GTA 4 Low FPS, Stutters, FPS Drops on PC

Launch Options:
-percentvidmem 100 -nomemrestrict -norestrictions -noprecache -novblank -availablevidmem 4096

( in availablevidmem add ur GPU vram in mb like in my case it was 4096mb)

***!!!IF THIS DOES NOT WORK!!!*** Go into the video settings and turn the "View Distance, Vehicle density & Detail distance down to 50% or lower. These settings were never perfected for optimized for PC so when they are turned up to 100 the game freaks out and messes up the calls to the GPU and CPU. Unbelievable that rockstar never fixed this.

Tried multiple fixes but this is only one that made my fps go from 50 to 100, you are a life saver

This deserves way more likes, thanks. You're amazing bro

Thanks man you saved my life. I wanted to start streaming it but it was lagging to much while driving. After I did this it is completely smooth. Also thanks for not making a 20 minute video for this^^

I have a RTX2060. Dipped as low as 43fps in some cases. Downgrading the game didn't help, DXVK for some reason didn't help (or didn't register), but adding the commandlines you gave it now runs a constant 60fps maxed out! Thank you!

I've for sure tried 10 or more fixes before but this was the easiest and the best out of all of them! Thank you very much brother

finally someone who gets straight to the point, thank you.

Thanks man, I increased my video memory as well, this was very important coz it wouldn't detect my graphics card and thus not allowing me to fully utilize the max graphics settings in the game.
Like I was getting 50-60 fps before it's a lot smoother now feels like 70-85 fps.
My screen is 144 hz I wish I could use the full potential tho 😂.
Your video is exactly how a fix video should be unlike a million other videos where they take 5 mins just to get to the topic.

For all people you must adjust the command txt file
In the last Line is a number change the number to your vram in mb

Thanks a lot man! Before installing the files my GTA IV ran terribly, even I got a good PC. Now it runs smooth like hell, You're a legend!

[theboy]

See how simple this was? So why the hell cant rockstar just fix this in an update? Why i gotta go to youtube just to find the fix and its as simple as this? Rockstar makes great games but they gotta do better man

[lsl_k]

thank you man, i have tried a lot of things to make the game at least 30 fps. this trick make game get around 40 in my potato pc. thanks again

[Fallschirmjager-xyep]

holy sht this really worked, incredible fps and much better graphics, it even fixed the settings reset every time I quit the game, thanks a lot man, my pc is not old but either graphics or fps were garbage

[martin.dgd]

i first ran the game pretty good but after i did some things to my laptop the fps dropped, this helped so much thx man

[Chriss-yfuo]

Hey everyone if your gta still stutters, try disconnecting your controller or even turn off bluetooth. I tried just playing keyboard and it never lagged again. Then i went and try to connect my Ds4 mid game then it immediately stutter dropping my fps to 60-30. Also try just turning vsync and Fps limiter on

IV’s non modded PC port is the reason why GTA V’s PC port got delayed by 2015 for polishing, and they really delivered

[JaagupGustavLiistTherd]

This tutorial is amazing!! Gets straight to the point and works perfectly. Recommend!! thank you for this fix.

[cj_dister]

[Sueta_Editz]
