Hey People. . Just Installed GTA IV And I Have One Tiny Little Problem..
It Runs Fine Except That I Have one tiny little niggle with it..
the game is very playable as i get FPS's of around 40. but the problem is that it keeps getting these intermittant lags..It doesnt run slow or anything. I just keep getting these lags as if it gets stuck for a few seconds and then resumes. Its very annoying as it disturbs the flow of the game. I run win 7 ultimate 64 bit and i even tried running it in compatibility mode but to no avail..Even if i lower the settings its the same so i suspect something else is wrong as i get around 40 FPS at MAAX settings. . and my sys specs are as follows
AMD Athlon II 620
Gigabyte MA785GM US2H
4GB Ram
XFX 4870 1Gb

So guys Please Help me
 
yes original copy. .

and i jus noticed another thing. the lag only appears when i press w(to accelerate when in car). whenever i press w it lags and runs fine until i press w again
