Because that your graphics card..Intel HD Graphics 3000, GTA4 and Crysis are incompatible with it. You were probably misinformed about the 2GB 7670 card.

EDIT - Just checked the specs of your laptop, and it does show its got a 7670m, try updating the graphics card drivers.

Install the latest GPU drivers of AMD and you are good to go. It automatically switches between those two GPU units. :)

Set gta4 to high performance mode in catalyst control centre after installing new catalyst drivers.

connect to AC and play game. If game is properly patched, discrete GPU will kick in. You'll know this if the game is playable.

@OP : download the latest drivers for your GPU and check if GTA4 works properly
i had a similar situation with my Laptop where all the games were running on HD 2000,then i downloaded the drivers for my GT540M from the nvidia site and it fixed the problem

I think it's Windows 8 doing something fishy. :D I recommend you to install Win7 and install latest drivers and the laptop'll be worth the money. Windows 8 << Win Vista.

Jesus :\


Go to my computer=> right click=>manage=> Open device manager=> Display adapters.
There should be two adapters there. One for hd 3000 and another for hd 7600m series or something.

Check this first and report back.

Bro Afaik There is something called Enduro!! which is just like optimus .. Head to GPU settings and select a option similar to "Run on high performance GPU" And yeah Install latest patch 1.7 or 1.4 will do.. 1.7 will enable u playing MP
And yeah as the Experts ^^ above told.. Update the GPU drivers !! BTW you need to run GTA IV in compatibility mode select Win 7 for that !
