I got specs lower than that. I get 60 fps on 1080p.
Not stable fps, though. This game does not have stable fps.

Impossible.
If you want stable fps, this is not the game you are looking for.

You can try the following steps, might improve performance slightly:

4. Add these arguments to your launch options for GTA 4 in Steam. Change width, height, and availablevidmem according to your specs. Availablevidmem is your GPU VRAM capacity in MB (GB * 1024)

-width 1920 -height 1080 -nomemrestrict -norestrictions -percentvidmem 100 -availablevidmem 2048 -noprecache -novblank

5. Raise game RAM to 4 GB. Edit file in your GTAIV/pc folder called stream.ini (.../Steam/steamapps/common/Grand Theft Auto IV/GTAIV/pc/stream.ini) with these contents in it.

virtual 409600
physical 409600
virtual_optimised 409600
physical_optimised 409600

Night time shadows are often said to tank performance. What are your shadow settings?

GTA 4 is an absolute classic. Only get 30-40 fps with a 2080 ti

This game is horribly CPU bound a better GPU won't do anything , to have the best possible framerate you need an i7 9700k or i9 9900k.

I get almost always 60FPS at 4K. All I have lowered is the view distances to 50. If you also disable the night shadows, you should have your 60FPS with this rig.

Then again, GTA4 is a bad port and heavily bottlenecked and its like playing lottery whether it performs good on your hardware or not.

View distances down to 50, night shadows off worked for me. GTX 1070 checking in.
