Using DXVK to improve performance [edit]

| Installation |
- Download the DXVK files on GitHub.
- Excerpt the file and copy
d3d9.dll from the x32 folder to <path-to-game>\GTAIV\. Notes - The game may crave more 2 GB of RAM to avoid stuttering while using wrappers such as DXVK; extending the RAM usage limits is highly recommended, see Utilize more than than 2 GB of RAM.
- The game may not discover the right corporeality of VRAM available and only bear witness 512 MB instead while using wrappers such equally DXVK; see VRAM amount is incorrectly recognized for a set.
- To avoid or reduce occasional stuttering and frame skipping, create a new text file, add together
d3d9.maxFrameLatency = 1 to it, and save it as dxvk.conf in <path-to-game>\GTAIV\; this command ensures only a single frame is buffered by the CPU ahead of time, also possibly leading to a decrease in input lag in case Five-Sync is active.[sixteen] - Using the in-game 5-Sync pick may provide a smoother experienced compared to DXVK'south own Five-Sync implementation (through dxvk.conf) or driver V-Sync (through the GPU control panel).
- Calculation
d3d9.numBackBuffers = 3 to the dxvk.conf file may further better frametime stability while using any type of V-Sync; this command ensures Triple Buffering is active. - Using the game'south
-noprecache command with DXVK is non recommended as it may interfere with its caching organization.[17] - Combining DXVK with different wrappers (e.g. DxWrapper) is not recommended as information technology may negate the performance improvement otherwise brought by the Vulkan API and possibly crusade other issues equally well.
- Using ColAccel along with DXVK is not recommended equally it may cause problems such as infinite loading screens and visual bug (e.k. invisible character model).
- DXVK can prevent some ENB shaders similar global occlusion from caching and rendering.[18]
Boosted data - A GPU with Vulkan support is required.
- At least iv concrete CPU cores, viii GB of RAM, and 2 GB of VRAM is recommended.
- The game may stutter for a while upon the first run; this is due to the shader/country cache compilation and but temporary.

-
-fullspecaudio: forces higher quality audio (default). -
-minspecaudio: forces lower quality audio - good for lower-cease processors (while it doesn't decrease the definition of the audio, some actress audio details were removed, therefore reducing CPU load).
- The game uses DirectSound[25] which tin be handled by Artistic Alchemy (set duration to 10).[26] Simply run
LaunchGTAIV.exe as administrator just in example the game crashes (unnecessary in Rockstar Launcher version).
DSOAL for using as alternative DirectSound wrapper (with or without HRTF) is compatible with the Rockstar Games Launcher version and with Windows 10 builds lower than at least 1809.

| See Large framerate drops on densely detailed parts of the city[32] [33] |
Large framerate drops on densely detailed parts of the city [edit]
| Lower the view distance to 25 or lower. Annihilation higher may cause drops in performance when looking at the city'southward skyline or densely detailed areas (particularly Middle Park) for little visual gain. |
- You may as well increase your performance significantly while minimising pop-in and graphical glitches by setting the Detail Altitude between x and 40.
- If you need very loftier framerates, it is recommended that you disable shadows as they are CPU-intensive and as well reduce the Vehicle Density to around forty (33 is the panel default if you desire a "vanilla" feel).
- Keeping V-Sync enabled (with the shadows disabled) may help the game maintain close to stable threescore FPS fifty-fifty on old Intel Cadre ii Quad CPUs.
- Alternatively, yous can also endeavour out disabling Clip Capture in the "Game" option in the main menu and setting
-minspecaudio which tin unload the CPU to some extent depending on your computer's specifications and -noprecache in some scenarios and -disableimposters excluding flight. |

-memrestrict 314572800 - Loftier textures (i GB+ VRAM):
-memrestrict 681574400 - Save the file and launch the game.
-
-reservedApp 0 is also worth a try for a 64-bit Os.[35] - Using loftier-resolution textures is non recommended for systems with less than 4GB of memory.[35]
- Forcing available retentivity with Patch ane.0.8.0 is not recommended as it volition make the game unstable.
|
| Make sure Steam Overlay is enabled[36] [citation needed] |
No recoil/bullet spread [edit]
- By default, recoil/bullet spread is only enabled when playing with a controller. This results in 100% shooting accuracy when using a keyboard and a mouse.

-availablevidmem x //Supplant x with the iGPU'due south dedicated memory (if it'south 32 MB replace information technology with 30.0, if it's 64 MB supersede it with sixty.0, etc.) -
-norestrictions -
-memrestrict y //Supplant y with one of the values from here -
-reservedApp 0 //For 64-fleck operating systems only -
-minspecaudio - May crusade an farthermost increase in loading times, even infinite loading loops in some cases, using a wrapper such as DXVK, DxWrapper or even ENB Series may solve the problem
