    Brand new GPU running games at very low to unplayable fps

Assuming you are running a basic...

    FPS on laptop used to be very high, now is very low.

    as everyone has said background programs are killers, you get a lot of stuff running in background after a while and windows itself tends to get more demanding as time goes on. Alternately things like your registry and disk could just need a good workover. run a full disk defragment (can be...

    find cd keys

    If you bought the game in a retail outlet the CD key will be on the back of the manual. If you bought the game on Steam, right click the game in your steam games library and navigate to "view CD key" If you pirated the game and came here for help I recommend you get your head examined.

    GTA 4 - good buy on PC?

    your computer will run GTA IV, but in all things on that game you will suffer performance issues seemingly regardless of your PC specs, the game, while fun in and of itself, is a terrible console port and can be highly unstable. There are no unusual bugs in the base game for GTA IV (the usual...
