But another question, therei s a advanced grafic menu for gta? Another than this "advanced settings" in the game menu?


The Game slows down on my pc too, but i got more than enough power i think(2,8gh, gf6800ultra, 1gig dual channel ram, etc.)?
After a couple of time(2-4hours), the game begins to slow down, it stops when i drive, the music stops, if this were a online game, i would say i have lag *lol*

But why is it so? No temperature problem, cpu and graphiccard is absolutely "cool", i can run 3d Mark 2005 after i finished gta cause i cant play with this stupid slow downs, 3d Mark Tests run with full power. No slowdown, no problems and if u know that benchmark, u will see that the gta graphics are a joke agaisnt the benchmark, but still gta starts to slow down ...


Drivers are also up to date ...

If you pump up the settings as high as they can go, sometimes this helps with performance. Some people have commented that lower settings lag a game while forcing higher settings improves it.

Or you could try disabling Anti-Aliasing (you will lose the smoothness to the gfx) but it may help speed up a bit.
