GTA 4 is very unoptimized game plus you have laptop but try downloading patch it may help you.

This is holding you back, the GPU is not good enough to run this game smoothly. Even the normal 4650 is not good enough and keep it mind that this is Mobility radeon 4650 which will aboviously slower than the normal 4650's that is used in desktop pc's

Under the Mercy of the Creator
your hardware is extremely weak (the GPU)
upgrade it to (dextop) 5770 and ul feel the difference of day and night.. just patching won't help

and yeah on laptop u can't upgrade so..
if u want to game.. just buy an alien ware.. better if a custom gaming desktop

if not then play whatever it plays and be happy :)

Your specs doesn't even meet the recommended requirements.
Your current CPU isn't quad core neither it's triple core (which is recommended).

On the other hand you can't compare GTA IV with AC:BH as it's heavily GPU depended game.
BTW, what's your operating system, mind telling? If it's Vista/7 try switching to XP that might improves a little bit performance but that won't be much noticeable, though.

I was experiencing the same problem when GTA IV was released but problem is that low FPS is due to GTA itself not hardware. Rockstar games has released a patches for it which hopefully solved when I was playing a long ago. Now I have forget what patch is . But you need to search for patch and that patch crack and then play and inshallah problem will be gone and you will get decent FPS.

    Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord :ROFLMAO:
