Installation
  1. Download the DXVK files on GitHub.
  2. 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.

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.
