GTA IV is not recognizing my GPU

Hello everybody!

 

I finally got powerful enough PC to play GTA IV, and now would be the time to do so.. But GTA IV doesn't recognize my GPU, it uses Intel HD graphics 4000.

 

I have a laptop Acer Aspire V3-771G:

 

Intel i7-3630QM 2.4GHz (6MB cache)

NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M 4GB DDR3

8GB DDR3 RAM

750GB HDD

 

I get: Warning: your graphics settings are near, or exceed the suggested resource limit for your system,it is recommended that you reduce your graphics settings in order to play the game optimally.

 

289/4031MB

 

Then I ran the GTA IV benchmark tests:

 

 

Statistics

Average FPS: 43.23

Duration: 37.17 sec

CPU Usage: 65%

System memory usage: 46%

Video memory usage: 8%

 

Graphics Settings

Video Mode: 1600 x 900 (60 Hz)

Texture Quality: Low

Render Quality: Low

View Distance: 1

Detail Distance: 1

 

Hardware

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

Service Pack 1

Video Adapter: Intel® HD Graphics 4000

Video Driver version: 9.18.13.717

Audio Adapter: Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)

Intel® Core i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz

 

File ID: benchmark.cli

 

As you can see, it shows that I have Intel HD Graphics 4000 not GF GT 730M.

 

Some screenshots below.. I'm desperate. I don' t know what to do..

There is an easy fix for this, which I don't remember! Think it is to use the commandline -nomemrestrict, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also, update your graphics card drivers.

i remember it being as the optimus bug - whenever intel and nvidia graphic chipsets on same motherboard. i agree, most people (here) have said they fixed it by updating all drivers

Try enabling the context menu options for Optimus and then launch the game using the nVidia GPU in the context-submenu.

it's because GTA4 can't recognize video memory over 3GB

you can use a commandline.txt file to solve this problem
