|gameinfo = With authentic cars, courses, and car physics, Gran Turismo 4 adds an even more realistic racing simulation to the series. The characteristics of each car take into account weight, speed, friction, and more to deliver realistic handling. Test-drive new vehicles in courses located in various sites, such as Nurburgring Nordschleife, New York City, the Grand Canyon, and Tsukuba Circuit. Along with Career mode, Gran Turismo 4 highlights the new GT Photo mode and GT Online mode, which lets players around the world compete over the Internet.<br /><br />
Gran Turismo 4 is the fourth game in the Gran Turismo series. It features over 700 vehicles, 51 tracks, B-Spec mode, Photo mode, and 1080i support. This game was released on February 22, 2005 to critical acclaim.<br />

|Comments= Game runs fine at 5X native resolution. Some slight hiccups/slowdown in the menus. One weird glitch I saw was on dirt tracks, the plumes of dirt seem to be transparent and can be seen through hills and can be seen coming out of the middle of the back of the car. Still use recommended hacks for maximum performance. Bios v 2.0 was used.<br />

|Comments=Runs above full speed. Needed to set EE clamping mode manually to full so the text that says the time between you and the first car to display correctly. Looks like this needs to be added to game fixes GameIndex.dbf so it can auto change the EE clamping mode to full. Some rare random slowdowns that happened randomly in the races, no specific reason but in last less than a second. Other than that the game works perfect.<br />

|Comments=Only problem is that in a race it is too slow (20-30 fps) and the game doesn't work with frame skipping. With hardware video acceleration enabled in GSdx, it is twice as slow. The problem seems to be the CPU.<br />

==Hacks and Performance==<br />
*The MTVU hack may increase speed in quad core CPUs. This varies in dual-core CPUs as it may increase depending on the race but may cause slowdown in others.<br />
*Other hacks can cause crashes or the game won't boot. This game requires a ton of personal tinkering to get it to run decent.This game also has very, VERY high system requirements (expect to use at least an i5 or an FX 6300 above). Don't expect a smooth or stable game. Slowdowns are heavy and very prevalent. It mostly depends on track, the lighting and the amount of cars on screen.<br />
*The "Allow 8-bit textures" in GSdx may help with speed a bit more and maybe reduce the VRAM slowdowns.<br />
*If you are using software mode and have 4 cores or more (this includes hyperthreaded cores, as PCSX2 takes advantage of this), set the "extra software threads" to the amount of total threads in your CPU minus one (4 cores, threads to "3", 8 cores, threads to "7", etc.). This can provide a noticeable speedup in any game running in software mode, but beware that only native resolution can be used.<br />

==Known Issues==<br />
<br />
{{Issue<br />
|IssueName=Heavy crashing<br />
|IsFixed=0<br />
|IssueLevel=2<br />
|Description=Crashes pretty often. This happens because of spikes in VRAM use.<br />
|Workaround=<br><br />
# If you get lots of crashes during license tests use a lower internal resolution in GSdx or use ZeroGS or ZZOgl. Expect much slower speeds from using ZeroGS or ZZOgl.<br />
# In GSdx, Hardware AA can cause the game to crash a lot. Set the AA level to 0. Running the game with native resolution seems to help as well.<br />
# In Windows XP, even in native resolution, you may get instant crashes when starting races if you do not have enough VRAM. Using a custom resolution lower than 512x512 seems to help.<br />

# To fix the garbage and crashing during races, set the brightness to 0 in options.<br />
# In the NTSC version, change the display in game config to "Normal", then you can set the brightness to 5 without the broken graphics and also have a correct image.<br />
