Not a chance. This patch just made my game worse, at one I am full of graphical corruptions, at two sometimes my GFX card refuses to render even if I have the textures at low, water at low, reflections at low...

I'm very disappointed with this patch.

Same for me, ironic thing is before the patch I didn't have these problems...

Unless you have a HD4870X2 or a GT200 based card you aren't suppossed to.

Try the nomemrestriction parameters.

Not applying this until I'm sure it works on my 'modified' version. As damned Rockstar won't let me activate mine (bought on vacation, doesn't activate in Europe. And I refuse to buy the legitly bought game twice).

Powermanagement might be what is making me get framedrops (like from 60fps to suddenly 15, during which my CPU almost idles).

Edit: Bundled with the game came some nice GTA IV lolipop girl poster, so I'm still actually happy I bought it.
