Just make sure you have a step above the "Recommended Requirements" that Rockstar stated and you should be able to play it with decent frame rates on a good to excellent graphics setting.
yes gta5 will probably look better than this mod, if it doesnt, then shame on rockstar.. BUT, this is what gta4 should have looked like in the first place.
I doubt GTA5 will look this good if it is released this gen, they should be focusing on making a worthy successor to san andreas anyway. This mod just changes the textures for an old game though. I assume the textures are higher res? Otherwise I don't get why it would hurt performance... Also, if you have to play this in a lower resolution, won't it be harder to tell it apart from the regular textures?
...but that's a big 'if'. Clearly the community is there and ready to mod even a completely broken game. Rockstar are foolish for rushing the PC version.
Anyone remember GTA SA or VC? If you played them on the PC you might have tried some of the mods. Best modding community ever, quite possibly.
I would of waited another 6 months for them to port the 360 version and improved the graphics like they did for the current GTA PC. GTA IV is the most taxing game ever for a CPU
If you was to upgrade from a 9800 GTX to a GTX 480 on any other game I would expect double or more the frame rates but with GTA IV and EFLC I would get like 10 - 15 FPS more
Now if I went for a E7400 to a i7 860 I would quadruple my FPS on GTA IV and EFLC yet in any other game it would be less than 10FPS increase
I don't know that the next GTA will be a graphical powerhouse. The game never has been known as much for awesome visuals as it has the story and open-world gameplay. But Rockstar might surprise us.
Dam i need to try out this mod.
Where can I get this mod?
GTA5 will look better this, this is just a MOD using R*'s creation
so nothing special about this.

Speaking of mods and GTA what ever happened to that GTA type game called 3 days till vegas or something like that, was it cancelled?
