How to run GTA: San Andreas with less laggs

Hey guys, this is basically just a video showing the most basic way of getting rid of laggs (or atleast highering your fps by a certain amount).

No, this is not a video showing any fancy trainer, it's basically just a graphics tweak in advanced options.

Tip: if you reach lower than 25fps, I suggest you to turn Frame Limiter ON. It'll stabilize your fps and also limit the fps to 25 (that's a good thing if your SA -by default- reaches less than 25 by the way).

If nothing works, I suggest you to buy a new PC or upgrade RAM, graphics card, processor, etc..


In-case anyone's wondering, I recorded this on my old computer:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400+ @ 2,30GHz
GPU: ATI Radeon X1300 Pro PCI Express (256mb)
RAM: 2gb, 800mhz
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit
- Running the game at 60fps.


My current setup:

CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition @ 3,20GHz
GPU: ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 5750 (1024mb)
RAM: 4gb, 1333mhz
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
- Running the game maxed out at 100fps, and at 160fps at low graphics with a 1920x1080 resolution.

I have Pentium 4 3.0ghz Processor, ATI Radeon 9600 PRO with 256Mb memory, 2Gb RAM and so on... My computer should run the game with high graphics and all but all it does is lag, whatever i try! Lowest graphics: no effect - Higher Graphics: no effect

What the hell???? I want my game work!

@Tatzka95 I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but you're not gonna get very far with a single-core CPU, nor with a 256mb Radeon. It is quite outdated, I'm afraid.

However, there are trainers and timecycs for this game to decrease draw distance, remove minor details, and such, which helps massively on low-end systems.

lol if some1 get helped by this "tutorial" they most be retarded xD

[habbokulen1]

@roxieman79 Retarded? - That's funny, considering your lack of proper grammar.

The term 'retard' is used as a disparaging term for a mentally retarded person, or a person considered to be foolish or socially inept.

The majority of newcomers in the whole gaming scheme usually don't have a clue about graphics and what not, and that makes someone retarded? - Get your facts right.

my game is realy fast how to lower the game????

[habbokulen1]

@NaSkkOtO If you mean gameplay-wise, your game may be bugged. A new save-file or re-install would usually solve that.
