I'm getting about 18-20 frames per second according to the in-game graphics test but in game it almost never feels that slow. I'm running a 2.2 Core 2 duo, 4 gigs of RAM and a 240 GT.

However, the problem is that you need a quad core to get anything over 30 fps in GTA4. For whatever reason Rockstar decided to make the most CPU intensive game ever which is it didn't have to be if it wasn't just a cheap port of the console versions (I think PS3 has like 7 processors or something crazy).

These large-scale open world games rape memory and a good CPU.
