Hi all,
I was having a terrible time tearing my hair out with Icenhancer 2.1 getting 6-10 fps, and when I tried to lower the settings I kept getting "Fatal Error - Out of video memory" CTD's. I finally remembered updating my video drivers and looked up the version I had installed amd it turns out 301,42 Nvidia drivers are causing all kinds of woes. I regressed to 296.10 and now everything is awesome, running average 35 fps on max everything. Very happy. Just wanted to post this in case anyone else is freaking out over the same issues =)

Which Card do you have?? never heard of drivers problems from nvidia. The 301.42 and the 304.79 (Beta) drivers are working perfectly on my and my friend PC's...

aksine ahh ok hehe =) legacyy EVGA superclocked GTX 480. I am still getting "Fatal error - out of video memory" CTD's whenever I reduce texture quality, may be to do with Lord Neophytes HD textures? It all runs fine with everything maxed out but start to get major missing textures after a while. I have cache boost running in the background, and it's weird cause EVGA Precision X tells me it's only using around 1200mb of 1536mb VRAM... maybe slow HDD but it's 7200rpm WD Caviar Black... maybe I need an SSD idk. My shiny expensive beast has been overshadowed so quickly it makes me sad haha. $1200 gfx cards wtf.

did you running your gtx 480 in SLI??if yes, disable sli...what cpu you're using n at what speed??about the driver i suggest you use latest beta 304.79...301.42 is latest whql but i have seen some user(5-10 people) have big problem using this driver...but if 301.42 working fine with other games,just stay with it...1200mb vram usage(Gta 4) seem fine to me...its depend on what your resolution n setting...i'm also using caviar black without any issue with gta iv..

legacyy... yea my fren...i know about that bit since i saw your post in older fps thread...already tried everything related to it..but its not working well for me...first problem is its increase fps inside a building/house,but i got bad scaling outside building... single gpu 90fps inside 45fps outside...enable sli with that bit inside 140fps outside 40fps...that weird right..??outdoor performance is worst when sli enabled...second problem sometimes its make gta iv crash... other games are working perfect...i'm not sure if this sli bits not working with newer driver or card...did you try already that bits with a newer driver(30x.xx driver)?? i did a lot of search to get it work since i got my second card..but nothing work... yeah,45fps with sli disable already good to me...i'm happy because older amd card is 20fps...(you already know my story before right?) ...but it would be nice if i can take sli advantages for this my top favourate game... ;D
