re now i'm using icenhancer 2.0N, all settings maxed, 1920x1200 .. uhh it is really awesome now, i get at least 40fps, but i'm still having textures popups and i tried many different commandline.txt options, currently i have this: -No_3GB -Norestrictions -Noswapdelay -memrestrict 699145600 -notimefix -novblank i'm using also the HD texture pack as it was suggested here from the "help" forum thread here, and also i'm using hd roads, trees, and some parts of viva new york mod, i have replaced almost all fictional cars with their highest quality rated real life counterparts i have found on other websites etc, my vehicles.img is now about 275mb. I'm using also trafficload.asi script to avoid the taxibug and cloned cars (but still have some sometimes) so far it looks impressive, but still after some time that annoying textures popping starts and a few minutes later the game crashes or some scripted mission stuff won't progress, if only i could fix that stupid texture popping ilovepoop then the game will be perfect and i could make some nice videos of it. i just don't understand how in the hell some other ppl manage to run gtaiv modded to death really smoothly with sick ass ENB effects enabled and with earlier cards like 480GTX on those videos on youtube out there etc and they dont have the texture popping ARGHH please help me to fix this annoying problem so i can get the game running to optimal level and as soon as that will happen i will post videos and will share all my config settings and mods i'm using for all in here. my cpu is i5 680 oc'ed to 4ghz, 8gb DDR3 and msi 680GTX GTAIV 1.0.0.4 any particular recommendations for iceconfig.ini ? thanks

sls888are u sure the value '3.0' for -availablevidmem is right? because now im using these values: -norestrictions -nomemrestrict -reservedApp 0 -availablevidmem 99 -noprecache -novblank the texture popping is still really bad. i think i suspect the popcycle.dat and possibly some custom cars @legacy have installed that Cacheboost , at the moment i don't see any noticeable difference btw, should i try 1.0.0.7 ? 10x

-availablevidmem 1.0 has reduced the texture popping a bit. thanks a lot for the tip, sls888
i still notice the texture popping in happens when i access the menu/map page with the esc key
ok, now it is time to tweak the iceconfig.ini , right now im using the default one from. looking forward to have some antialiasing and tweak the general lighting and contrast

ok!
after some really extensive testing, now i'm pretty much convinced that the main CULPRITS that causes the horrible texture popping ins and memory leaks are those high poly-count CARS ! and especially the cars that were made/converted really bad...
i can't precisely pinpoint what cars and by what author, but lately i have been starting modding vehicles.img in EFLC v1.1.2.0 and as soon as i have changed 2 or 3 cars (without even modding anything else at all) i was pretty mich surprised to see the memory leaks appearing again!
certainly, those settings in the commandline.txt helped a bit, but now i definitely believe that *some* of those cars are the main cause of the texture popping ins!

The Cars aren't the problem.... i changed ALL Cars (some have 10MB or more) and haven't got these huge texture problems....
and u use EFLC that's the problem. everything works fine with 1.0.4.0, but 1.0.7.0 is bullshyt for modding...

I have the Palit JetSteam GTX680 2GB and am very impressed with it. I had a 6970 before and it was really noisy under pressure, so the near silent GTX is nice. Kinda feel burned a little by nVidia with the GTX670. But thats the world of PC components, eh?

Running a dual GTX580 in SLI at the moment. Don't think I will hurt my bank account by upping to 680 any time soon to be honest.
Mod runs really well, even though I got an outdated version at the moment (1.2/1.3)
