Grand Theft Auto IV - i9 13900K / 128GB DDR5 5400Mhz XMP 1440P Benchmark - DirectX9

System is running stable on 4x32GB DDR5-5400 mode with XMP enabled.
This RAM is product identification: CMT64GX5M2B5600C40
Old RAM (Week 44, 2022) kit has SK-Hynix chips.
New RAM (Week 13, 2023) kit has Samsung chips.
Please note this is recorded with Shadowplay which may remove a few fps. G-Sync and V-Sync were deactivated.
This benchmark was done under DirectX9, ofcourse the built-in benchmark is not really representative for the game itself as it is capped in framerate too.
I've done a benchmark just driving around off-video on DirectX9 and 64GB DDR5-5600 XMP a while back and this is the result:

It is possible to run this game with DXVK wrapper aswell to drastically improve performance, just drop all the .dll files in the game directory:
github.com/doi...
Make sure to add commandline.txt in game directory with the following to also set the native resolution as DXVK wrapper may not let to set the right resolution:
-nomemrestrict -availablevidmem 11264 -norestrictions -fullspecaudio -forcehighqualitymirrors -noBlockOnLostFocus -d3dmt -width 2560 -height 1440 -refreshrate 165
Change availablevidmem to the amount of VRAM your GPU has, the rest speaks for itself.
DO NOT use the commandline -no_3GB as it will cause pop-ins!
All recordings were made on 1440P and upscaled to 4K because TH-cam to this day still refuses to offer us better bitrates at a lower resolution without paying a premium so I guess we'll keep forcing it another way, their loss. 🤷‍♂️
