this is gta iv most common problem, even in my old laptop and my main pc, however i'll give you my working commandline (put this in a notepad .txt with commandline as title in the game's main folder) and hope that it works
-norestrictions
-availablevidmem 25.0
-percentvidmem 100%
-minspecaudio
-nomemrestrict

good luck

Thanks man but your answer did not solve my problem
R u sure this commands work on iv v1.0.8.0 ?
I remember its for 2008 year gta iv v1.0 is come and have many graphics bug
I dont know but is not work
It is very important that the iv does not use onboard graphics on laptops
I try to run iv on gtx 950 but iv use intel HD 520
I think if i have a pc and gtx taitan x 12 gb it means I have a single graphics card iv dosnt have any problem but for a century gta iv got a problem with laptps :\ looool

If you guys have any idea tell me ! (-_-) zzz

on the switchable graphics settings (the drivers page, they should have this) set everything to high performance and make sure the dedicated gpu is engaged, then try and re-run the game, gta iv is plagued with these issues since the day it was made

sometimes those command work, sometimes doesnt. but for sure my laptop has nvidia geforce 940mx 2gb and gta iv only detect 500mb of ram, i try to run it on medium-high and high, and it run smoothly on solid 60 fps with no problem even though gta iv itself only detect 500mb and the usage of the graphics card is a bit over 500mb i get no problem
