I started work on this video in September 2019. For unknown reasons (probably got bored editing it) I abandoned it. I was checking out my old folders a week ago and saw that the project was unfinished. I picked it back up and in a few days I made what you see before you. It's not my best work and if I were to remake it from scratch I would change a few things.
Regardless... I hope the video helps some of you out. If you know more methods of fixing it then let the others know, it might help them out. Thanks for watching!

5:57 When CJ said he Hates Gravity he wasn’t joking

[pentiummmx]

you also have mods like Framerate Vigilante and SilentPatch for the 3D universe GTAs.

[Blacklung]

I wonder where's the stories and their fixes, though...

[nathanshierd]

I just realized that Rockstar hasn't learned shit about making 3D games on PC over the years.

Few things, SA isn't supposed to run at 25 fps that's a bug which can be fixed installing silent patch which i recommend even for the rest of the 3D era GTA's. The Nvidia Inspector and Nvidia Control Panel Vsync are very outdated methods as you can limit the fps in control panel itself no matter what monitor you have.

[ZeptoBST]

There are so many issues I wasn't aware of. This will help the re3 devs alot.

Use an external FPS limiter, like afterburner. I cap it at 60 so it was still smooth but playable.

[SomeoneOutThereIdk]

You should update this video and add Framerate Vigilante and SilentPatch, those two will fix a lot of the bugs and you'll be able to play the trilogy games on 60 FPS with no problems, GTA IV on the other hand is a mess, it's best if you downgrade to the 1.0.4.0 version, change some stuff on the graphics settings and maybe turn on Vsync


Edit: I think my comment somehow got duplicated, ignore that

[Enacaus]

I am surprised this hasn’t gone viral overnight.

[Knaeckebrotsaege]

instead of fraps (which a) costs money and b) hasn't been updated in nearly a decade), you can also use the free MSI Afterburner or rather its built in frame limiter. Doesn't need to be recording to do its job either, and will work on any GPU

[Manic_Panic]

Uh... you forgot the best method for the 3D Trilogy. SilentPatch and the Vsync option enabled ingame. It's a solid 30 in all of them without framepacing issues. Also, SA is meant to run at 30FPS like the NTSC PS2 version and the Xbox port but for some reason it's using the PAL framelimiter on PC. SilentPatch fixes this issue (among many others so it's always worth having anyway) when you have Vsync on.
For IV the best option is definitely just turning up the settings. The game will never go above 50fps and works great.

Holy crap I had no idea about the fps glitch in BOTH of the final GTA 4 missions. Like a few years ago I played through it and got stuck on the final mission because of those helicopter glitches and never finished the game. Had no idea it was because of the fps

[joshroderick]

3:51 y'know what
Tommy's just straight up vibin
Nothing else

[IndellableHatesHandles]

There is also a frame limiter in the Nvidia control panel. It's in application - specific settings

[andytoskovic]

Great video!
Personally, I never liked playing these games at more than 30 fps so it was never much of a problem to me to limit them, even though 60 fps is smoother, there is something about 30 fps I find more natural...
Also, I am using RivaTuner Statistics Server to limit my framerate in any game, for me it is the best/the most simple program for it

[PainLT]

For AMD GPUs go to radeon settings, in gaming tab create profile for san andreas and limit fps to 39 and car handling will be fixed.
