I have a gaming rig and using moderate graphics settings, but still stuttering. And without knowing your PC specs, your details are maxed out as far as i see.

They're almost smooth especially until last 20 seconds of the video. When compared to mine, your stutters are too less and too hard to notice. is this the same type of stutter you get? check the last 30 seconds especially. it's fine for 30 seconds, after I change any settings in the graphics options, even if I revert to the same exact ones. And this is now even worse with the latest official 1.0.8 patch that brought additional stutters. I also tried launching the game without Steam, directly using GTA 4 launcher executable.

Originally posted by onurguzel16:Eventhough i disable Steam Overlay in GTA 4 game, i get massive stuttering on my high-end gaming PC. Disabling the overlay causes insane stuttering, so I guess the only way to play the game stable on steam is by launching the game from the folder instead of from within steam.ĪMD Phenom 2 x4 955 BE Geforce GTX-480 w/ 1.5GB Vram (Driver version 347.09 WHQL)Įnergy - Single Display Performance Mode/Maximum Performanceġ920x1080 120hz everything highest quality except for: This occured to a smaller degree with the non-steam shortcut, but not nearly as dramatically as with the overlay enabled.

Overlay Enabled using Regular Steam Link:Ģ. There was curious performance with the overlay on though, namely I did a series of 10 benchmarks on each setting, one setting uses the regular steam link with the overlay enabled, and the other has the overlay disabled and the game is started from a shortcut to the program exe:ġ. Thank you for the suggestion, I turned on the overlay and the stuttering went away, though I had it disabled to prevent having multiple overlays conflicting with eachother as can often happen (steam, gfwl, mumble, etc.
