legit copy of game.

Hard Disk Space: 18GB free

so i should be getting pretty good fps at low setting with my specs.. i have heard that it was a crappy rip from the xbox version and a quad core would fix it but i have a quad core and its terrible fps....

so what can i do?
i have tired this one tweak that has 3 different versions.
one for slow computers.
one for medium computers.
and one for fast computers.

tried all 3 and messed around with the video options and it didnt help at all.
i have tried this other tweak that uses a exe called contig and that took forever to finish and didnt do shit...

i have patched fully and it still didnt help.

i have legit retail cds not for steam tho


im pissed cuz i normally pirate games

and one that i buy legitimately it doesn't work

i would call rockstar but i don't they would help me.

and i have seen youtube videos that show them using like only a duel cpu with 2g ram and 256m gpu and getting like 20 fps on high settings...

i did the benchmark test and it was only using like 50% of my ram and gpu but only like 30% of my cpu and i was only getting 15fps on low settings.
