Is GTA 4 CPU or GPU intensive?
It is both. The Ai in the game uses a fair amount of cpu as well as the cpu needing to help the gpu with the frames it needs in a rich graphic environment. It’s a GPU intensive game.
Why is GTA 4 so laggy?
GTA IV is just a very poorly made game on PC and there are no patches or fixes to really improve it all that much in terms of performance. Best you can do is try to brute force it with an overclocked CPU and turn some of the CPU intensive settings down a bit.
Is GTA 4 on PC fixed?
GTA IV released eight years ago, but it just got a new patch on Steam, making it play nice with modern operating systems, as well as fixing some bugs and issuing some further optimisation work. Check out our list of the best old games for more videogame blasts from the past.
