The problem is that GTA 4 isnt using my dedicated graphics card...instead is using the Intel Graphics...ive google this and honetly i havent found an answer to my problem...i created an account here on porpuse to that i would know how to fix this annoying game...
I have an ASUS k53S
ANd here are the specs:
-Intel Core i3-2310M
-4 GB RAM DDR3
-NVidia GeForce GT 520 M w/ 1GB dedicated memory

My Nvidia driver version is 301.42
Yes ive tried to put on the Nvidia control panel so that GTA 4 would be using the nvidia graphics card but it doesnt work...so please if you know how to fix this i would realy apreciate!

Try to disable the integrated GPU from the BIOS then try again.

Motheboard model and BIOS version would be helpful

Then the other guy will help you with this one

We had this problem before and it was a driver issue. Try doing a clean install of the latest nvidia drivers.

this is optimus problems, google for "gta IV" and "optimus"

[nubanaga]

Ive been searching optimus and gta 4 not sure but aparently is all Dell pcs...and every one of them was solved by disabling in the BIOS....like i said i didnt find anything in BIOS to turn off INtel Graphics

How have you come to the conclusion that your GT 520m isn't in fact being used? The GTA 4 benchmark displays "Intel HD Graphics" regardless of whether or not you're using your dedicated card on Nvidia Optimus laptops.
