yes buddy your graphics card is good but i think you are playing at very high setting at very high resolution,so because of that it is lagging.

Everything is fine, regarding Hardware. Which OS u are using?

remove the drivers using driver sweeper and re-install it.
See whether any background programs are running.
Try lowering the settings esp. shadows etc for 30 and see if it works fine & resolution.

Basically the game itself buggy so that even a system running GTX580 in SLI will run it smoothly.

Yes.

Also see if there are any background apps running, like AV, Firewall etc. That will slow things down a bit.

Get latest nVIDIA driver from their website and update it.

Ya i have the latest updates
U want me to Close even tuneup and Norton ??

What about a Dual boot with no programs ?? Which OS would u suggest ?

 

[furious_gamer]

Yes, do a Dual Boot.If you AV and Tuneup has Game mode, switch it. Try to lower the settings is game. What are the settings you are playing the game at? A screenie would be good.

overheating can also be the reason check the temperatures when your computer is in full load.
And you can also use tweaked graphics drivers such as Xtreme-G drivers(tweakforce.com)

GTX 260 is a good card and shud'nd cause u any problem
if problem persist trying installing the card once again
Which resolution are u playing games at ??

GTA IV is a buggy game. Try to get Metro 2033. If that runs fine on High , your GPU is very good.
