Wooooh! Just got myself a new Graphics card, Its a ATi Radeon 4570 1GB :D It run's GTA:IV super smoothly. Love it!!

and how are you running it super smooth? 

 

You dick! xD my 7950 does not work on GTA IV... 30 - 40 fps, every 5 secs it drops to 23 - 19 fps.

lucky

Yeah, how are you running it smoothly? I have the Radeon HD 7770 And it still lags

Somethings not right here xD

Nice! My GTX 650ti gets me the occasional 40-50, but it's usually 20-30

Processor plays a big part in performance. The people saying they have a better card than the OP but get lag may have a worse processor.

Again, something's not right here. I get 60 fps while not recording and 40 while recording. 

Damn!! I have flipping lags with an GTX 680, and when I use fps I get 45% when not 60%

Agreed, your processor plays a huge role, I'd say just as much or just about as much as your GPU does in this game. I've got an i7-3610QM at 2.3 GHz (4 cores, 8 threads) and a 7970m with 2 gigs, and 16 gigs of ram and I run about 45-55 frames and rarely drop below 40 but as soon as I start recording with fraps (full 1080p) I'm down around 25-30ish.

Although I am curious how the new AMD graphics cards handle GTA IV........

 

I opened a thread on it >here
