hi i recently installed gta 4 on my pc and it has bad lag even on low setting i thought my specs are capable to run it on even medium setting but on even the lowest setting it lags and choppy i know my specs are not the best i thought it would be good enough to play gta 4 my specs are
Core 2 Quad 2.4GHZ
4GB ddr2 ram
ASUS P5B-MX MOTHERBOARD
500GB SATA HITACHI HARDRIVE
ASUS R7 250 1GB GDDR5

is anyone else having this problem or just me any solutions?

GTA 4 was a lazy port,terribly optimized for PC.

Even strong computers,by today's standards,dont run it great.

You can see my specs in my signature, I can only run the game on medium 30 FPS.

That game should be a bit easier to run, GTA games have down right horrible ports. I wouldnt be surprised if I couldnt run GTA 5.
I run BF3 on high/ultra. It might at least run on that system.

Bad ports.
Those games were designed for consoles and then decided to port them to PCs, they did a poor job with it, so the simplest things take 3x+ the calculations to do, thus putting more strain on hardware, and lowering performance.
