yes, your playing GTAIV on a dual core. upgrade to a new am2+/am3 or 775/1366 motherboard and a 720 BE or 955 for amd or Q9550+ or i7 920 D0 for intel and you'll see a difference in FPS.

but this PC was bought one week ago, so everything is new. I think is unnecessary to buy new processor cause GTA should work on Low even Medium quality...

Lol what sort of statement is that
I mean, yea Quads give better frames than a dual, but he shouldnt be getting in the teens with that build
OP, please dont listen to Helloworld....
My friend gets the 30s with a slightly better dual, but he has the 9800GTX as well

Can u give any other measurements from other games?

NFS Undercover - cut for 2-3s - 2-3 times per one minute
Most Wanted - cut for 1-2s - 1-2 time for 5 minuts
GTA SA - doesn't cut

If I recall correctly, it's some crappy voltage regulator on the mobo that causes those processors to freeze/stutter. You can fix it by putting a fan on top of the regulator or by getting a new mobo, I think. Mine does it too, try doing some research.

sounds like something in the background is taking away system resources. the notion that you need a quad core is propagated by quad core fan boys that wet their pants at the sight of a game that actually utilizes more than 1 core.

the bottom line is your CPU is not that great and is probably bottlenecking your video card. a serious overclock is necessary on both your gpu and cpu. also look into background processes and what is using ram + cpu, often times anti virus coupled with malware and useless search functions in browsers will cripple even the most notorious systems.

I with werxen on this, sounds like bloatware is dragging you down.

also try updating and drivers from the manufacturer's website. Sometimes the computer sits on a shelf for a while and gets a little outdated.
