  • @Kn00tcn and when u are gonna quot someones words u use "example" not 'example' lol trololololololo.

  • @Kn00tcn when did i ever say it was a good thing? I dont much care for leval of detail and how high the shinyness on my cars and such is and it is meh becuase id say for my computer being 7 years old with those specs its doing pretty good. And im 14 and make no money becuase im 14 so i cant get xbox/ps3

  • @Kn00tcn yes actualy it does on minimum settings besides the computer componits i talked about in my previous comments arnt everyhing that maters for gaming. There the power supplie the windows and the harddrive so before you doubt people think ya noob.

  • @TheDrNate right, minimum settings are something to enjoy? worse than console settings so how is that a good thing

    plus the resolution causes a huge hit on lower end cards/laptops, so what exactly is so 'meh' about the situation? this vid is so old & my parts arent very high end anymore

  • Meh my old desktop with intel pentium D 3.4ghz 1.00gb ram and nvidia geforce 6200 256mb gets 50fps on this game.

  • @TheDrNate no it does not

  • with patch 1.0.7.0?

  • @Kalleyon dunno, it's fairly similar across all patches, & whenever they changed the shadows, you had to lower the shadow quality to one below max to stop the stuttering

  • thats a very nice pirated game youve got there

  • @xslimgigityx how stupid can you be? you see both the retail box AND no razor dll exist

  • @kn00tcn Sorry for not seeing the box dick head i thought the video was about being able to play gta 4 not looking at shit on your desk. unsubbed And if you've ever watched the yogscast, you would have known what i meant by my comment.

    P.S My comment is a joke, you Weren't supposed to take it seriously.

  • @xslimgigityx really now, no smiley faces or quotation marks to tell anyone that it's a joke, is it my fault you looked like some kid? cuz pretty much every GTA or COD video is full of dumb kids so you have to make it clear that you're not one of them

  • @kn00tcn Ok again im sorry. I subbed again :)

  • @xslimgigityx whats wrong with pirated games? gtfo kid, go waste ur money on CD's

  • @OneBuzZKill I Do Pirate Games :P. Also i'm not a kid.

  • hiii

    i have sapphire 4870x2 referance and i need the working bios slave ans master...i looked the tech power and no usefull...i tried most of and getting artifacts..

    help please

  • @oothervoices what did you do to your original bios? what kind of artifacts?

  • @kn00tcn when i start the game -every game-no matter what-  just played 5 min and getting gpu fail ...black screen and system shut down

    i restart and updated driver and otherrs ...start any game and getting black screen shut down pc...

    i search every where and people tells a bios update is so usefull for this...so i back up the original bios files..and try different ones ..i try techpower up site and try lots of bios versions of sapphire and others

    and getting same problem

  • @oothervoices but if you havent done anything to the card, that means it's a hardware problem & that the card is dying, a bios cant fix that

    what is your power supply & how are the temperatures of the hotter gpu AND the VRM temperature of that gpu?

  • @kn00tcn TG600-U33 (600W) tagan

    just need working bios...cau send them slave and master bios

  • @oothervoices that psu is kinda low in watts, especially if it's been in use for years

    stock bios: kn00tcn . net / kn-4870x2-bios . zip (remove spaces)

  • @kn00tcn psu is on the amd certified for 4870x2 list ...i looked at it and then buy the psu...

    thanks for the bios...is that yours or ....

  • @oothervoices it's my stock bios backup before i modified the fan speed, the psu may be certified, but if it has been in heavy use for years, it becomes weaker over time

  • @oothervoices go to techpowerup they have a very big collection of bioses

  • @kn00tcn

    so i need an another sapphire user who use working and none problem gpu bios..

    if u have pls upload somewhere...

  • OMFG THE LOADING SPEEED!!

  • Importance about power supply ?

  • @Dharma818 meaning?

  • @kn00tcn How important power supply cable is ?

  • @Dharma818 um very important, high end cards are power hungry, so are overclocked cpus, you dont want to give poor quality power or worse, a faulty cheap power supply that damages other things when it dies or explodes

  • @kn00tcn Which is best powersupply cable ?

  • how did you get the bobblehead?

    

  • @fsdgadfase fallout3 CE?

  • @kn00tcn ah i see colector edition... thx for fast reply

  • @fsdgadfase coincidence that i had my email open :P

  • @kn00tcn so do I! :0

  • HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!! 3000 FPSS!!!!!!

  • awesome Graphics :) LIKE video!!

  • How you get it to run so good? I have Q9550 quad core, 4870x2 CCC 10.12 and its CRAPPY fps

  • @vertibirdsoldier crappy isnt a number, more specific? did you note the settings i used, draw distance really kills fps, & probably traffic

    also the latest patch.. or the 2nd latest, changed the shadows completely, so dont put those on max or it will stutter

  • @kn00tcn I put all on max its like 15-20 fps. everything very high or 100. I dont know what to do

  • @vertibirdsoldier dont put it on max obviously, you should be hitting the vram limit too

  • @kn00tcn Ima install patch 1.04 see wat happens

  • LOL at fps at 1:50

  • LOL!!!!!!! 4:40

  • whats the software for sound recording

    plz reply

    

  • @oOcrazy95Oo cool edit, it's really old, adobe bought them & now the evolution of it is 'adobe audition'

    i find it much more intuitive & easy to use than soundforge or audacity (awful)

  • WTF?

    I got the same set up as you and the same OC speeds and I got 40fps with a bit of luck on 1440x900 resolution and high settings and shadows on med.

    how come you've got 60fps ? I use win 7 64bit

  • @cyberheadshot what, i dont get 60fps everywhere, 3:31

    this video is getting old though, with all the changes they made throughout the patches

  • I bet we are in this moment living in a grand theft auto 24 version!

  • what drivers are you using now? my 4870x2 keeps crashing on dx10 games when I have the catalyst a.i. on. :(

  • @vicioustomato so what driver are you on, & which CAP, & which dx10 games?

  • @kn00tcn i'm running on 10.4 beta right now. were you running on crossfire on this video?

  • @vicioustomato yes of course, how could you not run CF

    the video info says 9.2

    why are you on beta....... & such an old one too, but there is a bigger issue, 10.6, 7, 8 have messed up 2d/3d detection for core2

    so get 10.5 or 10.5a (bfbc2 loading speeds) & 10.8 profiles installer & should be ok... not sure how mafia2 would run

  • @kn00tcn i'm running on the beta version since it's known to have the most stability. i'm afraid you are right about 10.6...all my problems with CF started when i updated to it.

    whenever i want to play DX10 games, my only options are to disable CF or downclock the 2nd gpu to 500/507...really sucks. If ATI keeps doing this, they will lose the market share for extreme pc gamers. they make great hardware but the drivers are crapware!

  • @vicioustomato i dont recall hearing it had stability (i'm usually active on rage3d forums), just try 10.5

    there's also twl's drivers that apparently fixed the x2 issues & a bunch of other things, cuz he's mixing parts of different versions into 1 pack

  • @kn00tcn Yeah I've tried twl's drivers but no luck. I'm beginning to think it's hardware related. I got a 1k rosewill psu. E8400 wolfdale @ 3.6ghz, dfi lanparty dk x48 mobo. 8 gigs ocz 1066 MHz.

  • @vicioustomato sounds like the 2nd core doesnt like 3d speeds in dx10 i guess? what kind of temps?

  • @kn00tcn temps are fine, around 40-50 c tops on the 2nd gpu according to gpu-z. all i know is, i've had these issues since i opened my vid card up to clean it from dust AND installed from 10.3 to 10.6. So i dont know if it was the driver or if i messed something up physically. all i know is that i'm not alone in this issue.

  • @vicioustomato well if older drivers dont work, it has to be hardware right? you took apart the whole heatsink assembly?

  • @kn00tcn i took the entire heatsink apart yes. i was having major heat issues and that really dropped my temps. unfortunately, i must have done something to aggravate the 2nd gpu since it doesnt even want to run on stock speeds (crossfired)

  • @vicioustomato what if it's screwed too tight & you just loosen it a bit? oh & did you reapply paste or what, maybe it leaked around the core

  • @kn00tcn i think that's the case although i've taken it apart twice already. i'm beginning to get really good at it too. yep i did take the old paste and reapplied some AS5 using the credit card method. i'll disassemble it again this weekend and double check. i really love this card and hate to part with it since it still hangs with ATI and NVIDIAS new badboys.

  • @kn00tcn nice vid btw. i'm hoping i can get my 4870x2 running stable with both cores again (running gta 4)

  • Very nice!

    How much cash did you lay for this awesome machine? :)

    I play gta iv but only on lowest... :( I have a Intel Pentium Dual core cpu on 2,2Ghz and a ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphic card.

    Maybe you know what i can get for kind of good CPU for under $400 bucks?

    Thanks in advice!

  • @worldbmx it was built 2yrs ago, q9550 is under $300 or if you're lucky $250 by now

    your 4650 is also a big problem, maybe you can jump to 5770 at ~$150-170

  • @kn00tcn

    Oh okey.

    Well I got the graphic card for about 1 year ago plus that I don´t have that huge bag of money so yeah.. xD

  • Is intel i5 same as quad core ?

  • @totizedger core i5 7xx has 4 cores, core i5 4xx 5xx 6xx is only 2 cores

  • So good! =)

    I think the cpu is the most importnt thing in GTA IV, and the grafic card ofc.

    I have a Core 2 Quad 2.66 (stock), HD5770, 4GB DDRII, Asus P5QD Turbo.

    What do you think?

    Good video by the way =)

  • thanks for this test ;]

  • What did you use to get the FPS in the game?

  • @Ecto9 fraps, which is used for all other in-game recordings that i do (& screenshots)

  • I tried to play this game on my Intel Pentium D 2.66Ghz Dual Core and it lagged. So I just ordered a new computer from eBay that is Core2Quad 2.4Ghz... hopefully I will be able to hit at least 30 FPS on medium!

  • can i run gta iv on this computer?

    Moderkort: Asus M3N-HD/HDMI AM2+ socket

    Processor: AMD ATHLON 64 6000+ x2 3.0GHz

    Minne: CORSAIR 2GB DDR2 667MHz

    Nätaggregat: 650watt

    Hårddisk: 400GB

  • @kodkillen96 it's ok, you could beat the consoles, but not max settings

  • @kn00tcn can i run it

    windows 7 home

    intel pentium

    2gb of ram

    260 gb hard drive

    64 bit

    2.10ghz

    t4300

    HP g60 notebook pc

  • @janimator99 no, might be bad even on lowest settings

  • I want that wallpaper

  • @snedie69er kn00tcn(dot)net/kn-wallpapergi­rlblack.png

  • @kn00tcn

    Thanks for the reply friend

  • I have 4870x2 too, but mine wont run 1280x1024 at very high... shoud i go for crossfire? May it be my OS? ( XP 32 bit) I have the newest patch and drivers

  • @kaason2 what do you mean 'wont run'?

  • @kn00tcn Well I am getting bad fps. In this vid you were running 1600x1200 very smooth on high settings.

  • @kaason2 (1920x1200) what # fps do you get? what's your cpu? this game is very cpu dependant & wants quad core

  • @kn00tcn well I have i7 920 @ 2.66 atm. I got all on very high at 1280x1024 (cant go bigger) and it laggs. Even if I take most settings down. May the 32 bit OS cause that, and old Nvidia drivers?

  • @kaason2 you mean ati drivers? is this with the latest patch 1.6 of gta4? if it is, dont put shadows on 'very high', just use 'high'

    also put catalystAI on standard in CCC's options

  • @kn00tcn No I meant that I didn't delete my old Nvidia drivers just installed ATi's next to the Nvidia's. catalystAI??? Well I'm new with ATi things... :( I think you meant the Anti-analising and texture filtering from catalyst command centre?

  • @kaason2 maybe you should start over, uninstall both ati & nv drivers, then get 10.4 from game . amd . com (& install that profiles app after)

    catalystAI is an option just below AA/AF in the 3d->all area of CCC, it enables driver tweaks & crossfire for x2 cards

  • not sure how the 4870X2 will run but you can usally use 20%-40% more memory then you have ad long as it fast enough. To over ride this re-enter the target location of the shortcut to say the following minus the {}

    {C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\LaunchGTAIV.exe" -norestrictions -nomemrestrict}

  • I wonder is it posible to play on AMX EVERYTHING DRAW DISTENCE DETAIL RES ALL ON MAX WITG 100FPS OR MORE? 12 CORE PC 2GB GRAPHICS,THAT SHALL DO IT

  • WOnder how it works on 4 cores+old XP Hmm...

  • gonna play splinter cell conviction with this processor.

  • HOLD SHIT O_O

  • @TinTacle cool edit, but any editor will do

  • upgrade ram....to like 8gb :)

  • not on this comp, but i'm thinking of core i9 6core, 12gb ram, '6870' or some other future gfx... maybe in a year or something... not just for gaming, after effects is painful to use on 4gb

  • @kn00tcn this may be a noob question

    but isn't the 4870 x2 a 2GB card?

    how come your memory usage is only 1GB?

  • @Weslo2 crossfire & sli mirror the vram, so 1gb usable

  • Where did you get that in game fps display?

  • fraps

  • Does IV actually use directx or opengl, or is it like the III series on PC which ran some sort of bullshit software renderer?

  • does it appear software? all that stuff on screen, it's dx9, like almost every multiplatform game today

    also 3 had dx....8 or something

  • Multiplatform games use a custom 3d wrapper library that interfaces to OpenGl -or- Direct3D. It's the only way to make it a viable option to develop for multiple platforms. That's why a lot of companies shell out big dollars for a cross platform library that's good. So it of course "uses" direct3d, but GTA 3 didn't do it very efficiently. What I meant was whether or not it makes efficient use of it. It looks pretty darn good in the video.

  • isnt 3 the same as vice & SA? (all looking 'ugly' hah, though there's enbseries mod for that)

    anyway sure, 4 uses dx9 pretty well.. but i dont like the way it handles textures/objects/view distance

  • hi i have a proccesor= intel cor 2 quad and grafickard=nvidia geforce Gtx 275

    Ram=6Gb

    Mothercard=Ausus

    -and i wonering can i run gta iv whit no lagg ???

    ps- sorry for my bad english

  • gta4 will always 'lag'

  • @kn00tcn why did you said that.

    btw i wanna buy a decent cheap motherboard able to put it on core 2 quad so you know some?

  • it will, it's not a game that can be set to max & stay at 60fps locked...

    it wont be 'bad' or anything, but it will dip under 30fps at times

    what price mobo are you looking for? dont just say 'cheap', some people call $150 cheap (that's about as cheap as i would go when overclocking)

  • @kn00tcn mmm.. about $200-$220

  • USD? that should be any good core2 mobo at that price

    p45 or x48 chipset only though... anything else is crap

  • @kn00tcn yeah USD.

    i just wanna build a new one for starcraft 2 and be able to play it at ultra/max so i am searching for advices i think i will be able to play it for no more than $650.

    thanks dude

  • @kn00tcn not at me

  • ahahah Vehicle Density=15 ahahahah

  • btw sweet bobble head

  • OMG how did you f***ing do that!!! graphics are beast!!

  • uhh?

  • lol sorry what are the graphics resolotion is itrealy only 60 hearts?

  • hertz... that's refresh of the monitor... how many times it can display an image per second, standard of all lcds is 60

  • ty for being very smart =) i can fix internet connection problems though im better

  • oh i get it preety muchhow smooth the motions are kinda like when you use stick pivot

  • game only uses one of the 4870x2s cpus the game does not work with crossfire or sli

  • game uses both my cores beyond 50/50%, & while recording a fraps video, the cores go at most 50/50, so single 4870 performance, just like other CF working games

    i hear SLI also works, but with a few more visual glitches

  • Radeo is fuck, On Geforce GTX 260 People have more FPS then you, GTA 4 run better on Geforce than ATI. xDD Play with small FPS on 4870x2))))

  • hey everyone, look at the idiot!

  • I would like to see the water detail set very high. Surprisingly. Water in any game is the hardest to render. Give it a try and re post. Thanks

  • it's actually kinda ugly, bunch of tiny little waves

    i'm big on water, too, & crysis seems to be the best by far, with ETquakewars also being pretty good.. oh & citiesxl is nice

  • On my ASUS M3A78-CM it runs pretty good in High Detail. I have to admit though. You have a awesome system too! But it's good you know that. Not many people know water is the most difficult item to render in any video game. Try old school Battlefield 2, and post the water rendition if you want. That uses both shader 1 and 2 models. Would be interesting to see the results. Thanks

  • BF2 is getting old, ETQW is like BF2's water but smoother (coincidentally, ETQW's gameplay is a lot like BF as well)

    water is easy & 'good enough' if you fake it with basic reflections+ripples, but only good artists make it proper like in crysis

  • Yea, thats why I mentioned it was old school. But I believe it supports both shader formats. And a good test basis for a graphics interface comparison.

  • I have to admit. If i was blind in one eye playing ETQW, I would have thought I was playing BF2.! LOL

  • 24 inch screens is nice, but to big for GTA 4 on most comps.

  • no, gta4 is too cpu limited

    crysis runs much 'worse' on 24 & higher monitors

  • How it runs?

    It runs very very Awesome!! 5/5

  • well dude this rig cost like what 1000$ for the PC ? and it runs it 40-50 fps with not maxed view distance and stuff , this game is sweaty to max out even with alienware or what ?

  • there's nothing special about alienware

    max view distance is a real pain on the cpu, & it's a really strange option... they should have used lower detail textures for far away buildings or something, as it demands well over 1gb vram just to go past 30 view distance

    engine isnt too efficient in that regard

  • bugaboo

  • stop being a pussy and max it out

  • oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooh tough guy

    max yourself out

  • i did bitch

  • omg, i'm so HAPPY for you!!

    woohoooo!!!!!!!

  • dont set it to 100% duh!

    it's so useless, you have other buildings in front of you that block the far view distance, which makes it pointless to raise it

    it's also very cpu demanding

  • are fraps lowering you're fps or not

  • only if it's recording a video, that's why i used my camera instead

  • awesome system

  • get a new keyboard and mouse from Logitech G-series man :D

  • what do you think above your Q9550? ;)

  • above?

  • ...

  • would the fps go up significantly if you put it all on low

  • when i click LAUNCHGTAIV.EXE i get the " this program is not compatible with your software. i have Vista 64bit Service package 1

  • 1009mb? ur video card have 2gb. i dont get this? should i replace my gtx 260 with Radeon 4870 X2?

    PS: how much can i get for GTX 260 superclocked? I only used it for like 3 months

  • crossfire & sli have mirrored vram per core, so 1gb usable

    you could replace your 260 with a 5870 or 5850 if you dont care about physx or cuda

    it might be worth like $150 or $160

  • hi, i was wanting to upgrade my 5 yr old pc which i bought from pb technologies. Do you think pb technologies could upgrade my processor and motherboard for me and if yes then approxmiately how much would it cost.

  • fapfapfap

    if i'd be able to overclock my cpu/ram and had money for a better graphics card, i would have something same.

  • hey, nice video man, i have a C2Q9550 - GeForce GTX280 4GB GSKILL DDR3- and ASUS P5Q3 deluxe. i run gta4 as fast as my hardware can, but i have 2 question, i don't overclock my c2q yet, so.. how much is the difference on fps in games like gta4 / crysis between a c2q9550 stock ghz and 3.5 or 3.6 oc ?

    my second question is, to put the fsb to 420 or more did you change the vcore or at least the northbridge v. ?

    sorry for my english, if you don't understand something just tell me

  • in gta4, overclocking the cpu should be a big difference, not so much in most other games

    i (eventually) made all volts manual, since P5Q series motherboards have horrible auto settings

    a p45 northbridge does not need much voltage at all, i think i run it at 1.14 or 1.16v

    the cpu vcore (& the other cpu related voltages) i've changed, but i dont think i went much higher (if at all) than what auto volts were on stock speeds

  • thanks for the fast answer, when i´ve time im gonna oc my pc, cya.

  • how many fps do you ge when you play gta 4

  • wtf ?

  • Turn off "Definition" for the jhighest graphics. They are stuff like depth of field and motion blur.

  • i know, i've been using the P key since the first 10min after installing the game in december

    i need to get that motion blur mod that doesnt cause the ugly depth blur

  • Nice Q9550 dude! Why dont you try to reach 4.0Ghz? It would be nice if you have a good cooling and easy, those 1,22v are just nothing, I doubt you will need more than 1,35v to reach 4Ghz! What mother do you have?

    Nice rig my friend!

  • i probably could easy, but i was aiming for a super low voltage OC, plus there's no temp sensor on the nb

    i'm good for now, maybe i'll mess around when i make an i7 or i9 dx11 comp

  • Damn, that's a lot of money! Core i9 will cost around what the i7 975EE cost right now! Pair it with a Classified 769 plus violents Dominator GT and you would spend like 2k of u$ in just 3 components... To much money for my 3rd class country. I will stick to LGA775 combos till Sandy Bridge get into the action.

    Ah, what cooling do you use for the 9550? Is that a TRUE with p&p?

  • well they'll get cheaper in a year (they better)

    it's a cooler master hyper 212 (had a limited selection of backplate based heatpipe coolers found in local stores)

  • Where did you live? :O

    Because I live in a crippy country like Argentina and I can get whatever is on the market, obviusly with an extra of u$100-u$200 but well, I can get those things xD

  • so can i, i just dont want ship from online stores

    toronto

  • Come on! You are joking right? Have the chance to ask sidewinders or newegg to deliver things to the door of your house and dont do it? OMG xD

  • i want my stuff fast, me to carry it without shipping smashes, if needed i could do a return/replacement in less than an hour, no shipping charges, no shipment arrival issues (i'm in an apartment), etc

    it's not like it's a bad cooler, it's very similar to ocz vendettas &other copper base copper heatpipe aluminum fin tall cpu coolers

  • what you fail to realize is that this stiff has been shipped a lot already, most of it made over seas in europe and asia

  • duh, a big 18 wheeler or boat is different from some UPS employee driving like a maniac

    still doesnt solve the apartment issue & time delay

    i'm not anti shipping, i'm anti residential shipping
