I agree with TheBates, if you were to run Ice Enhancer on your system, you might be able to obtain 25-30fps at most on medium setting, Without Ice you might spike up into the 60's but It wont run at 60fps constant either, This game is a really crappy port. Though 30fps is vary playable.

I can't tell you for sure what FPS you will get with Ice but I am 99% sure you wont get 60fps constant.

This guy has a stronger CPU and without Ice he gets Min: 23 Max: 49 on the R7 265 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0U8hmMe950

This game is just a vary poorly made game.

With the resolution your running on I am sure you can running it at a playable frame rate (e.g.25-30 fps) however one stronger GPU would certainly be advisable over a weaker crossfire configuration.

At the end of the day the PC port of GTA IV is terrible and requires you to brute force the game with power way, way over the recommended specs.

Hope this helps!
 
Ice Enhancer hits the CPU hard, you will not be able to keep a steady 60FPS, I play this game and can tell ya its not gonna work to good on a dual core i3.

A test system at work with an i5 2500k at 4.1ghz and a GTX580 could not keep 60FPS with Ice Enhancer.

Nobody knows really unless they have a similar setup to you. It's easy to give an average but really the best way of knowing it just trying it out for yourself.

Every game makes use of hardware that bit differently and sometimes it's not as good as you expect which is one of the risks with PC gaming.
