    Can someone kind enough to tell me what is the optimal setting for 30FPS (average) gameplay.

    Its going to be almost impossible to get 30fps average but for now im running at high/high and both distance sliders at 10 , cars at 11, shadows at 0 at 1920x1200 as resolution as it makes almost 0 difference in framerate . Download the commandline text about halfway down this page and put it in your GTA directory where the exe is http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=335353 and that should help as well. This game really needs a quadcore to run right and theres no amount of tweaking or anything thats going to give you some massive framerate boost .

    Thanks, I will give that a shot when I get home. I wonder if I drop it to 1440 X 900 would make much of a difference (fps wise)...

    Nope thats why i was saying that in GTA's case the resolution makes almost 0 difference in the framerate and if say i lost 1 fps to run it in native res vs not ill take native any day .
