    Hi there.

    Can anyone tell me what is the best looking graphics mods for GTA4. I'm going to install the game again and just want the game to look even better on my 2560x1440 monitor.


    thanks

    doesnt icenhancer have xlive.dll (which bypasses gfwl) ?

    there are tons of mods, but some have bugs in them (like seeing the same cars over and over).

    cant really recommend anythng since i havent touched it in years

    Sleeping Dogs is a good option to GTA4 while waiting for Watch Dogs.

    Depends if you want to play online or not.

    If you want to play online, then just use sweetfx - smaa and lumnasharpen, which sweetfx provides, will make a HUGE difference in image quality.

    Sweetfx (and a few custom cars)

    No sweetfx

    If you dont want to play online, then you could use a wide variety of mods and texture packs. Icenhancer and ultimate texture pack are probably the most popular, eventhough i personally dont like the look icenhancer gives.

    DKT had mentioned recently a full texture pack was in the works, I hope it is still released and not delayed too long. That, coupled with Icenhancer 2.5, should give the best GTA IV experience.

    The real issue is if GTA V is released (which we all hope it will be, and done properly) before these enhancements are finished, then the focus may shift to GTA V enhancements instead.

    Icenhancer 2.5 is significantly different to 2.1, no comparison.

    Ive downloaded all these mods. I havent tried GTA4 since I had my q6600 rig. That was @ 3.6 4gb ddr2 800, and HD 5770 1gb. Current rig should run this game nicely :)

    I always have fun driving around gta games and causing chaos.

    Yeah I had a GTX280 or GTX570 and only q9450 i think so game should run like a beast now. If I get my crossfire again it should run even better
