How to get the best frame rate in Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition
The publisher's minimum for Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition is 256MB Nvidia 7900 / 256MB ATI X1900 with Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz, AMD Athlon X2 64 2.4GHz, and the recommended hardware is not stated. Because the publisher lists no recommended tier, we assume hardware about 50 percent faster than the minimum for our estimates.
In our estimates a GeForce GT 730 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 645 does the same at 1440p, and a Radeon R9 270 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
In competitive games frame rate and low latency matter more than looks. Use Low or Medium shadows and effects, keep textures as high as your video memory allows, and aim to stay above your monitor's refresh rate.
