GTA 4 doesn't seems to recognize my GPU.

Hi guys. I have a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050ti Windforce OC G1. Every game is running fine except GTA 4. Actually I think it is detecting my available video memory (sometimes) but it does not uses it. I have update patch 1.0.7.0 installed. According to Rockstar, they have launched an update 1.0.8.0 which fixes this problem

but I can't use it. See this:

"Hi guys. This is Mirza Taimoor Baig from Karachi, Pakistan. Recently I got a new GPU Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050ti Windforce OC G1. I placed it in my PC, installed a fresh Windows 10 Home x64. Updated all drivers and softwares. Every game started running absolutely fine.
I installed GTA 4 completely. I DID NOT INSTALLED RGSC. Then I downloaded GTA IV Patch 1080. Installed it.

And now when I try to launch the game I get this error:
"The ordinal 5372 could not be located in the dynamic link library E:\Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV.exe"

I searched internet and downloaded a file named xliveless. Pasted in my GTA IV folder. And now I am getting this error:
"GTA IV FATAL ERROR: EFC20. Invalid resource detected - Please re-install the game."

I again searched internet and downloaded a folder named "src" containing these files: compile(batch file), compile_with_trace(batch file), stdafx.h, xlive.def, xlive.lib, xliveless.cpp, xliveless.h

I pasted them in my gta 4 folder. Still getting that fatal error.

Please help. This is my first question on this forum. Thanks in advance.
***NOTE***
Patch 1.0.7.0 works fine with this setup of gta 4. But it has a bug and do not supports my GPU"

So the only way left right now is using patch 1.0.7.0. so is there way to get rid of this problem without installing patch 1.0.8.0?

Why dont you want to update to the patch that fixes this? Where did you download the game from? And why are you randomly downloading files to paste in directories? Doesnt sound like you have a legit version of GTA IV.

I have a legit version of gta 4. I purchased it's dvd from Lahore Expo Centre in 2008. It has been kept safely for all these years and now when I have a capable gpu I am trying to play it and its not working.

I already mentioned the errors that I am getting after installing the patch 1.0.8.0. Why dont you read the description carefully again.

You cant get rid of it without the patch. The patch fixes the issue you face. I read it carefully the first time, and I still have no idea why you downloaded random files to fix that. And you said you didnt install the RGSC? Do you mean the Rockstar Social Club?
