My GTA IV runs fairly smoothly. However, GTA IV only uses 50-200MB of my VRAM. Why is this? The Integrated GPU is 1GB, but GTA only uses a minimum of 50mb. Help? And sorry if i've misunderstood anything...

I am able to play GTA IV smoothly most of the time, with about 20-25 FPS (that's normal for me, considering how bad my old Pentium 4 was), by using the -norestrictions and
-nomemrestrict commandlines, but thanks for helping out. I'm looking into saving up for a GeForce GTS 450
