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.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
