Lower your graphic settings.

Try:

1) open a text document (.txt) (notepad)

2) type this:

-norestriction

-nomemrestrict

-novblank

-percentvidmem "100"

3) copy EXACTLY that^

4) save it as "commandline.txt"

5) Put it in your GTA IV game directory

if those ones don't work then try:

-renderquality 0

-shadowdensity 0

-texturequality 0

-viewdistance 0

-detailquality 0

-novblank 0

-norestrictions

-width 512

-heigth 384

-safemode

-availablevidem 3

-percentvidem 100

-minspecaudio

-novsync

-renderquality 0

-framelimit 0

-nomerestrict

-fullscreen

Hope this helps, thanks!

does your pc by any chance have an intel integrated graphics chip and a secondary graphics card? if so you may need to set it so that it uses your secondary graphics card and not the intel graphics.

I have no idea my friend.. how would find out?

open device manager and expand the display adapter section. if you have a secondary graphics card it will be listed there

thanks for your help, what am i looking for?

here the program

http://prntscr.com/j99ud

click the little + symbol beside display adapters and see if there are two graphics cards listed there

I don't know if it's a good thing to download games,cause there will be more chances that it doesn't work

And now it's isn't expensive , so you can buy it
