Weird, maybe try taking the setting off of auto
Formatted your pc? Maybe you need to install some updated drivers?

Your lag is probs because a stock Q6600 (2.4GHz) is not fast enough to run GTA4 on high settings, it will also be bottlenecking your GTX285 it would bottleneck an 8800GT at that speed

Because GTA 4 is a badly coded and optimized title whilst Modern warfare 2 is optimized and a lot less intensive title to begin with

GTA4 takes more resources to run than MF2, ALOT MORE! If you look at the sys requirements for MF2, you only need a P4, 256Mb GPU, and DX9, LMAO! I mean the game is BA, but it really isn't a resource load like GTA4 is!

Did you install the necessary and correct graphics drivers? If all else fails, looks like you might have to do a clean install of GTA IV again...

Like many others have said, GTA IV was just a horrible port. It's a very fun game, but coded by seizing monkeys with keyboards.

If the game was playable before the format, in which I think you said it was on your machine, then try older display drivers if you have not tried already...Try the ones you were using before the clean install

I have noticed that GTA4 eats CPU's for little snacks. I believe your graphics card is more than enough to handle the rendering side, but let me tell you when I went from the Amd Athlon 7750(i think thats it) dual core at 3Ghz to my phenom quad 955 at 3.6ghz, my fps literally doubled. I believe this is due to the vast amounts of AI scripting (cars and people etc). perhaps try benchmarking with different CPU speeds to see if that is the issue. best of luck!
