Vice City IQ on Radeons = Bad

ROFISH · May 10, 2003, 06:35 AM

Vice City, and GTAIII before that had REALLY BAD refresh timings for the dynamic texturing of the buildings, making it take forever to show the actual good model. It isn't the game, as I heard nvidia cards don't have the bad timings. Is there a driver that has this fixed?

...cutting back on the draw distance in game might help with that.

EDITED BITS: You might also want to try maxing out your draw distance, but turning your frame limiter ON.

and turning off unnessecary background applications will also help.

On my Radeon 9800pro GTA Vice City looks beautiful. I am running 1280 x 1024 res with 2x AA, 4X AF and getting around 100 FPS average outdoors, indoors is around 150-170. Using Fraps for fps counter.

did you turn off the frame llimiter and vsync?
