About VW8 benchmark server (I need advice/explanation)
« on: December 09, 2018, 07:49:51 pm »
To begin with, my father agreed to buy me an additional 2GB ram for my desktop computer (3GB ram in total) as my birthday's gift, I was hyped and rushed to run VW8 test and just was shocked by the results;
the first 3 tests results are the same while test 4 decreased by 8 fps from the last test to become 23.This further implies that I am facing graphics lag, to confirm that, I went to singleplayer and tested it: Indeed, there was a slight decrease of fps with graphics lag. Had the same problem with GTA3, and I fortunately fixed it by setting frame sync to on which made the game smoother than before.
I am just wondering if there is a VCMP command (like frame sync) to tweak graphics options and make my game better.

(I just figured out that lowering the res fixes the FPS but yet I am facing graphics lag especially when I witness too many NPC cars while driving, note that this only happens to me in singleplayer, I expect it to be smoother on multiplayer tho')

Well, Instead of making fun of him, we should help him solve his issue. Tbh, the day I started vice city I had a Pentium 3 with 2 GB ram and no idea about GPU and it was laggy as fuck but I know nothing about fps so I played it like it was nothing and kept playing till I come to know about the thing that is called lag. So I would suggest you to collect some money and buy some good gpu.

The fact is, I am pretty sure you have got an AGP graphics card - due to which, you'll eventually have to change your motherboard, ram, processor, power supply to change the GPU. So you either try lowering your resolution to 640x480, or you cannot play.
Increasing your ram in a game like GTA:VC, which uses less than 1GB, won't change anything.

It is not about GPU, my game was running fine, then I come to have this problem. Well, my thoughts about this community seem to be wrong, I thought I am asking experts, mature people, who would be pleased to help others but ofcourse no.

I was right, this community is pure toxic, and would never improve, because of people like you, trying to find silly reasons to bully someone. and the majority of its leaders( not all, there are admins and players that I completely respect ) act like they are great veterans while they can't lead a finger up their asses to pleasure themselves.

Ok, I no longer need any help, and no it is not about GPU, because I explained everything above.

Do something useful for your lifes and stop mocking of people you don't even know them.

Removed shit replies. Let's just help this guy for once...

Like other's have said, RAM is not the issue for VC. It's either your CPU or GPU that's the bottleneck. VC don't need much ram.

Post some more specs about your PC.

I'd say check if there's any update for your GPU drivers, or either re install GTA:VC. Your graphics card is shit, but it seems to be pretty enough for VC.

Or.. I used to have FPS drops when I had viruses into my pc, which made my proccessor to be used at 100%. Check the Task Manager and be sure the CPU is being used normally (like 15/20% on idle).

Did you try using fresh copy of windows? and if it’s still same, eliminate the possibility of malware otherwise check for it. I remember having something pug.exe or something which made my gameplay shit slow with low fps. Something was eating memory and disk space kind of stuff.

Its your GPU but not in the sense that everyone explains. That GPU should be enough to pass as far as I know, given the resolution isn't high and you did back then. What I'd attribute the sudden change to be is either overheating of the card (so now its throttling slightly) or it needs a reseating (the AGP connection to the motherboard got bad overtime). My bet is the latter.

Happens to me to this day, sometimes my GPU for whatever reason adjusts and the PC either cant start or starts slow. When I check GPU-Z, my PCI-e connection states x4 or x1 when it should be x16 for full bandwidth, full speed. Taking out the GPU and putting it back in solves the issue so I'd check that. That GPU cant run any general purpose processes like mining, so there should be no virus that can affect it, it should pretty much always be idle until you run a game.

so, what should I do? I must take out the GPU and put it back?

I can confirm my computer is infected, will anti-malwarebyte clean it?
I think I am in need of a full-time antivirus.
