Lookin for help. VRAM issue.

[jiraiya42069]

I have a MSI Katana, with a 4060 graphics card and I can't get the game to detect more VRAM than 512MB when I have 8000MB in reality, which in reality, this game should never need. I've tried the commandline fix and it did nothing and I've tried having the stupid Rockstar launcher check the integrity of the files and still nothing more than 512MB. If someone can help, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

When you say "the commandline fix" I assume you refer to a commandline.txt file? Seems support for it was dropped recently and you now need to supply launch options directly by rightclicking the game in the Steam library, Properties -> General -> Launch Options. Use

-availablevidmem 3072.0

Yes you can use 8192.0, but more than 3G is not even potentially used by the game anyway and PCGamingWiki says that more than 3072.0 may be an issue in and of itself.

That's however not going to be enough yet to give you a good experience on a 4060, i.e., absurdly fast hardware in 2008 GTA4 terms.

First of all make sure to have/keep the Steam overlay enabled while playing this game; disabling it can in some circumstances cause bad frame-drops.

Second (and really do this) Install FusionFix: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/GTAIV.EFLC.FusionFix.

Explicit instructions at https://steamcommunity.com/app/12210/discussions/0/4336483474862638306/?tscn=1717759110

See https://github.com/GTAmodding/GTAIV-Issues-List/issues/112 for an in-progress list of FPS-issues solved and unsolved by FF (which also fixes other issues). Use the frame-limiter it introduces into the game's graphics options best at 30 FPS to solve all; 60 FPS certainly.

I expect that you won't need to go all the way down to DXVK on a 4060 -- but if you're after the above still not playing well, see for also that step

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Also in the Nvidia control panel I changed the framerate to 30 fps as I figured out pretty quickly that anything above 30 breaks alot of the animations as they were designed to only run at 30 fps, i.e. jitters during cut scenes. Once again, thanks.

OK. Was under the impression that GPU software wouldn't let you cap to under 60 FPS but sure, if it does it might be better than doing it via FF -- although FF does fix (and add) also other things.

Have fun. Great game :)

I don't see the massive perf-
99fps
