Download and run Speccy. It should be able to identify your actual GPU info.

I think it's important to note that, although the Intel HD chipset may be supported (I doubt it), regardless it's simply not going to work.

GTAIV requires quite a powerful Gpu, it's not like many games where simply disabling options will help, at its core the way it renders simply requires a lot of power, and memory. I wouldn't bother trying it without at least 512MB of GDDR3 memory on a 256bit bus.

I would seriously consider this if you haven't paid for the game yet, otherwise possibly consider an upgrade.

If it does actually work, the frame rate wouldn't be playable.

Without knowing the exact model, the answer will most likely be NO.

The majority of laptop graphics are integrated (built into the mainboard).

Which means that to replace / upgrade the GPU, you'd have to replace the entire mainboard.

This is the best reply in your case. GTAIV is very grahpicaly demanding. Fabe.

its a gateway id59c with intel hd graphics

This it,

Gateway Singapore Official Site: Products - Notebooks - ID59C-7624G64Mn

If so it has a little more than just the junk Intel graphics that is integrated into the CPU, it also has the Nvidia GT 330m,

NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M with NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology, up to 4091MB of TurboCache™ (1024MB of dedicated DDR3 VRAM, up to 3067MB of shared system memory), supporting NVIDIA® CUDA™, PhysX™, PureVideo® HD technology, OpenEXR High Dynamic-Range (HDR) technology, Shader Model 4.0, Microsoft® DirectX® 10.14

which from the benchmarks here,

NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M - Notebookcheck

should be able to play that game at a mix of medium and low.

Now as for how these laptops with the dual GPU's in them make the switch from one to the other I have no idea. It should be switching to the Nvidia card automatically when something is run that requires the extra power of it over the Intel.
