Same here, playing it on a dual core is horrible, once i upgrade to 8 cores i will install the game again...

Actually, it doesn't work correctly according to ... Everybody. Because Rockstar keeps changing the shaders with every version pretty much, so it'll never reach full potential in 1.0.7.0, lots of bugs and effects missing.
Yes, you can install it and get some shine here and there but it's not firing on all cylinders to put it nicely.

Holy shit, I think the mods just put GTA V to shame. That was amazing.

FRAPS whipping gigs to the HDD can do that.

It doesn't have 100% of the effects but that shouldn't stop people with the steam version from using it. Version 1.0.7.0 with IceHancer still looks a fuckton better than vanilla GTA IV.Sethos said:

Not if you use FXAA
That was just jaw dropping! Amazing!
If next gen consoles could pull something like that off I think I will be happy with game graphics for a very long time.
What impressed me most was the overcast sky setting. It always seems like a visual deathtrap for me in games. Rain, snow, nighttime, sunny mid day, sunset, sunrise all have taken my breathe away in one game or another but that's the first time I've seen someone nail the overcast and gray look to near perfection.

It looks impressive, but between this and that Crysis extreme mod these modders really oughta tone down the excessive motion blur. It looks as if the guy is speeding to work with the most debilitating hangover imaginable.
Edit: Just saw the night-time part...mother of God.

AA is pretty pointless, especially with iCEhancers config, looks like there's plenty of MLAA. There's barely in jaggies in my game with AA off and it looks fantastic. Runs pretty well too, between 30-50FPS. Admittedly it will drop below the 20-15 at some times and turning the camera constantly causes a massive drop.

Forgot to mention it kills the performance in 1.0.7.0 compared to 1.0.4.0. So yes, some may settle for that ... I'd just tell people to pick up the retail version for 5-10 quid and enjoy the mod at its full potential and performance.

Truly amazing. GT5-level of quality in a sandbox game.
iCEnhancer 1.2.5 is also out soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhGYGvhhU60 & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awwxdumyfBY

From the PC Screenshots thread:
This is why I want Red Dead to come to PC.

I fucking love what good effects work can do <3
Presumably it's not been very expensive to actually throw all this together?
The expensive part is/was still the original game production, the framework upon which these fancier effects and textures etc. are laid.
Not to sidetrack into another debate, but when people talk about the cost of using more power, stuff like this doesn't discourage me from thinking that a lot more power can yield you quite a lot of relatively cheap mileage on the visual side - via nice lighting, iq, shadowing, camera filters and blurs etc. Even if not the most efficiently implemented, just having a crap ton of power lets you be inefficient and still get (great) results.
(I know they're also using some new textures and car models here, still...)

Looks fantastic but does it improve the character models?

I saw this yesterday when Remo posted it. In a few months, I plan on investing time into making this work. I figure I should have enough machine to run it with an i7 and a 570.
How playable is the First Person mod? Is there a lot of jank to suffer through? More than the usual open world jank?DennisK4 said:

Any chance of a knowledgeable and generous person writing up a guide on how to get these mods up and running? GTAForums is a mess to navigate through. I tried dabbling with these visual mods awhile back and it was a disaster...
How good is FXAA and will that slaughter performance like SSAA?

The ENB / iCEenhancer is just a copy & paste mod. Copy over the files to the GTA IV directory and you're good to go. Then there's a config file you can mess through or download other people's file.
Most texture mods are also just a copy & paste job.
Cars however are another story.

Wow, to think that the next generation of games SHOULD look like that unless the big 3 all jump on the motion control bandwagon.
Im not even a graphics guy and im blown away, I fear that something special will be lost in the artistic side of things when true photorealism is possible, but I still cant wait to see it happen. The guy who is working on this mod should probably be a full on game developer, imaging showing that mod as your showreel.
