Hi, Gta 4 is unplayable with my current rig. It's extremely laggy. Here are the specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400@3.00GHz
2GB of RAM
Sapphire HD6570 2GB DDR3
Windows 7

Now i used to run this game with everything maxed out without any lag with the exact same specs above except i had a 8800GT then and OS was Windows XP.

I don't know if it's Windows 7 or my graphics card.-Then again i found quite a few videos like this:

I've tried pretty much everything i could find online where i found a lot of people having this problem, even people with high-end sytems. Quite baffled here. Any tips?

It's very simple-bad optimization. GTA IV was rushed and thereby, badly optimized for PCs. Strangley, my friend with GT 430 and 4GB of RAM with a Celeron DC @ 2.7 runs the game OK. Anyway, there's nothing to worry about.
