I'm certain my PC should play GTA:IV, Yet it doesn't?

[Emisanic 3]

Hey, I've been trying for a while to fix this now but it's absolutely beyond me. I've had GTA:IV for a long time and put up with this issue but I'm quite sick of it now. My computer I believe ABSOLUTELY should run GTA:IV Here's a few reasons why.

 

My PC Definitely surpasses the Recommended specs for the game,

The Game istself once auto configured puts everything on HIGH with minimal memory usage.

 

The Issue:
don't get me wrong the game runs, the issue is that I have 10-15 Fps whereever I go and it drops to 6-8 Fps at night time or around headlights. This is when played on medium graphics, with no shadows, no reflections, low water, and next to none view and detail distance. If i even try to put the game on low graphics the game absolutely does not work at all, it will not get past the safehouse door.

 

My Specs:

Nvidia GT620 1GB

Intel I3-3220 3.30Ghz

x64 Windows 8

6GB RAM

 

(And just incase it's needed, a 1920x1080 monitor)

 

So those of you that are wizards and mages of a technology orientation please try and suss this out!
Cheers,

Is this okay? I've never used Speccy before.

I have an Intel i3 530 @ 2.93, I run the game under low settings with a pretty good sized commandline, Razor Game booster and a memory optimizer, plus I record my games and still get 30FPS. you should be fine...Try lower graphic settings, GFX cards dont make the game playable.

I wish I could, its part of the problem , medium is the lowest I can get, any lower and the game won't load

You probably need a command line. Make a file called commandline.txt and put it in the main GTA IV folder (where GTAIV.exe or EFLC.exe is). In the file, type -nomemrestrict -norestrictions and save. There are others you can use as well, but start simple to see if that will help. More can be found here.

I've used one before but I'll give it a try from the ground up, starting with a new commandline
