I would suggest more ram but where did you get this game from? What patch and settings are you running at? Have you got the latest drivers?

He just suggested that you should get more RAM, and you didn't really answer his other questions.

 

Anyway, I'd say 4 gigs of RAM is adequate. But answer us this:

  • What settings are you running the game at (take a screenshot of the video settings in-game).
  • Have you updated your video drivers to the newest version?
  • Did you purchase the game legaly, or was it pirated?
I very much doubt it would help upgrading your harddrive, but a reformat might help, if the system is clogged up.

I'd get a new graphics card, the rest of the system is more than fine.

 

Do note that mkey82 has an HD4870, and I believe his game runs just fine.

Reinstall, use patch 4, lower the settings and Google 'gta 4 commandline' and see if it helps.

If not, a reformat could help.
