I'd agree that IV's a pretty bad port

...So I'm better than you!

Finally someone who understands.

I still don't get why you guys say that lol, I run Maffia 2 with +10 fps (both games everything on low), but Maffia 2 doesn't have tons of small effects like GTA IV does. But meh, maybe it's me

What? You can't be serious man, everyone knows that GTA 4 is not optimized for PC, infact very few games are optimized good these days anyway, or either they are ported (thanks to consoles). Well, Mafia 2 is very well optimized for PC and runs smoothly. PS3 has shitter hardware than my PC, but it still runs GTA 4 smoothly and in good graphics, reason is, it's optimized for PS3. IV is a bad port indeed. I can run GTA 4 on medium to high, but without shadows, because when I turn on shadows, even on low, it causes a lot of fucking lag and it still looks shit. It made me mad that such a good game has to be such a bad port, hence rockstar sucks balls.

xD man how did u do it?

[Strika]

How is it not optimized? I can't argue if you call it shit, that's your opinion.

Game itself is really good, but the way it's made to run, talking about optimization again
I run IV at 20-30FPS, textures on high, reflection on medium everything else on low, vsync off, definition on, a filtering on x8/16 (doesnt make a difference), all the "draw distances" on 50 and resolution on 1024x600.

Mafia 2 is the opposite of GTA IV, I can run it pretty smoothly, 25-35 fps average on low with a pretty much outdated computer, I dont even reach the requirements. I do reach GTA IV's requirements but I cant run it smoothly, with dem settings on low.

I ran GTA IV at about 70 or 80 FPS I think. Note though that I turned my shadows off, because somehow mine had all these little lines in it, which made it look ugly. It isn't optimized indeed, and God, do I hate ports.

You seriously can't compare the two.. Mafia II doesn't have TONS of little effects that make the game awesome like GTA IV has. GTA IV is more intensive for obvious reasons.

Mafia 2 has as good graphics as IV, I believe. It also has a lot of detail in it, just like IV does. The fact here is, Mafia 2 is optimized, IV isn't.
