Could someone tell me why is my GTA 3 is running slow?
Sometimes the fps gets realy low, could that be because of my video card? :wink:

Also make sure "motionblur / light trails" are off, they take a huge speed hit.

IMHO, its graphic is lousier than NeverWinter Nights, Medal of Honor, RTCW, Max Payne and lots more, but it only runs at about 20 to 30 fps on my machine, how come?
I diasbled the rain, papers and running it at 800*600*16, but still slow, even i drop it to 640*480*16, only an increase of 2 to 5 fps

and it does slow down occasionally on my rad 8500 1.5ghz TB sys but i have it at 1280*1024 sometimes on 1024??? cos its a hard game to run smoothly
CHECK THIS :> have you installed the patch where you can put all the cd sounds on to your hard drive(/music dir -inside gta3 root) it can boost up speed because it doesnt access cd for tunes?but say goodbye to hard disk space lol ive used it and it jerks alot less .try it goodluck but id suggest a new processor... helps alot with this game

Grand Theft Auto would run much faster if there was a way to disable 'replay'.

Their system is fine, its the graphics card thats the problem, I run it at full speed with no slow-down on a PIII-850 and an ELSA Gladiac 920.
Copy the audio folder from the second CD to the Hard drive then apply the no cd crack from either http://www.megagames.com or http://www.gamecopyworld.com

Even on my playable spec:
T-Bird 1.4Ghz@1.51
Radeon 8500 64mb (300/300)
Crucial 512DDR Ram
Abit KR7A 133r
It still runs really lounsy in most parts. I lowered everything down, optimized my setting, not as smooth as the PS2 (even it won't compare to my PC)

i think 256mb of will not help as xp is resource hungry, so more ram is needed than for example if u were using a 9x os or even windows 2k. sdr ram is also much slower than ddr for 3d apps etc.
the processor is also not ideal, as if you got one of the latest agp cards to improve 3d performance, that would then become a bottleneck.
but the ge force 2mx is well past its best in my opinion. what other games do u play and what kind of 3d performance do u get in those??

If you want to play smooth without any comment of the game just buy a compie with my spesification.
If you don't have any money just steal your daddy wallet or robe a bank...
