You should be able to max it out and run it at 60 FPS , either u have a ing virus ing your CPU , or your GPU is damaged , even i can max this game with a 750 TI.

i tell you, it's a terrible pc port, in games like black ops 2, spec ops the line, resident evil 6 i get 150 fps (and their system requirements are higher than gta iv), I also run far cry 5 on high settings (something even on ultra) at50fps
