That would be the problem then. I believe you need at least some sort of graphics card in order to play GTA IV.

They aren't too cheap, but if you only plan on playing GTA IV and not GTA V then you could get a fairly inexpensive one.

 

Here is the minimum requirements for GTA IV:

• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz, AMD Athlon X2 64 2.4Ghz.
• Memory: 1.5GB.
• Free Hard Drive Space: 16GB.
• Video Card: 256MB NVidia 7900 / 256MB ATI X1900.

i can't be sure, but i think you need one that has at least 1.5GB of video memory. that card looks like it only has 1gb. again i'm not a genuis at the tech part :P what kind of comp are you using and what are its specs? i use an HP all in one and i can play GTA V, despite the fact that i shouldnt be able to :P maybe if you get a card, think ahead and get one that will work for GTA V. the game is amazing and runs so much better than LCPDFR. but either one is fun..i have them both still :D 

we will try to help as much as possible. but, if you still have questions about compatibility, perhaps ask someone on the Rockstar forums. I'm sure someone else has asked the same question.
