Rxanadu Posted December 31, 2013 Like most people, I've noticed GTA IV running extremely slowly on my Acer laptop. However, I find this particularly odd as I've run games which require higher specs smoothly from start to finish. I just recenlty finished DmC on this computer with little to no graphical hiccups; heck, it ran at 60 fps all throughout my playthrough of the game. I've also been running Portal 2 and Borderlands 2 with ease on High and Medium specs, respectively.I've also installed the latest patch for the game, and it still runs slowly. Both Game-Debate.com and CanYouRunIt say I should be able to run this game smoothly. Then again, I've known Rockstar to release abominable PC ports for most of their games.Here are my specs. Hopefully, they will be helpful in remedying this issue:Machine Model: Acer V5-552-X418Operating System: Windows 8.1 (64-bit)Hard Drive: 500 GBMemory: 6 GB DDR3Graphics: ACM Radeon HD 8650G, 512 MB memoryProcessor: AMD Quad-Core Processor A10-5757M, 3.5 GHz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Posted January 1, 2014 Thirded. The Witcher 2 runs at 50-60 fps on my laptop with just ubersampling off, while this fucking game runs between 10-20 fps with all of the settings on. This game came out in 2008. But, did you make this thread to look for help on fixing your game's performance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subbes Posted January 1, 2014 Oh, I wasn't saying I've experienced it, I was just, you know, being enthusiastic and positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brannigan Posted January 1, 2014 GTA 4 is a famously garbage port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLastBaron Posted January 1, 2014 It's better than the Red Dead Redemption PC port though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeremywc Posted January 1, 2014 It's still 2013 in Texas. Has Rockstar fixed their crappy PC ports in the future of 2014? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Leego Posted January 1, 2014 It's better than the Red Dead Redemption PC port though. Go into settings and turn your PC into an Xbox 360. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
