I did read some posts on other forums of ppl complaining about how slow it runs, some find it strange that ppl with specs like yours FBS get to play it fine whereas ppl with a higher spec get kicked in the goolies.

Might try installing it on the storage drive.

Dont blame or write your pc off until you get a new install disc.......i'm far from being an expert but my money's ont the scratch causing issues.

Had an email back from Zavvi, they've given me a Freepost address to send the game back for a replacement.

Can't believe my Corsair Dominator GT 2000Mhz Memory is only running at 1066Mhz. Must have been another reason why the game was performing so bad ?.

Can I just overclock the memory to make it run at 2Ghz Speed ?. whats the best thing to do.

I'm not familiar with your motherboard but does it have the capability to run memory at 2Ghz?

If it does then just change the speed in the BIOS, it should be quite straightforward.

If the motherboards' memory speed capability is only 1066Mhz then your memory won't run any faster than that.

Hi FBS,

I remember researching these details and I'm sure somewhere it said it can take 2GHz on like some OC mode or something unless it was fake and unconfirmed info, but the official site says this.

Triple-Channel DDR3 1866/1800/1600/1333/1066 support

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 1866/1800/1600/1333/1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The triple-channel DDR3 architecture enlarges the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance.

So now looks like that it can only go up to 1866 ?. Should I set it to that in BIOS?

ASUS SABERTOOTH X58 MOBO

Yes

Well I changed the Memory speed to 1866 in BIOS, went to Save changes and exit, and the system just shut down dead.

I immediately though oh crap, but then about 2 or 3 seconds later it started itself up again as normal and showed the memory now running in 1866Mhz. Maybe the quick shut down is just part of the BIOS when a change like this is made ?.

I have just noticed Windows load a second or 2 faster aswell, or its just me hopeing it did lol

[floppybootstomp]

Some BIOS's do that, the shutdown thing, scared the hell outta me when it first happened.

Good to see you're up and running at speed, is GTA IV performing any better?

I uninstalled the game as I thought it must have been the disc, will reinstall and try again.

Yeah i know that Gigabyte and Asus BIOS do that for sure, probably most others too.

Have you tried loading up the system with OCCT or similar?
