The card is an Nvidia GTX 660: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The PC is a DELL XPS 8500, quad core i7, 8 gb ram. I use Windows 8, 64 bit.

I'm wondering will I at least be able to run this game on high settings, all the way around, without frame rate drop? Given the poorly optimized port that GTA IV is, I don't expect I can max anything without a framerate drop.

I heard there was also an issue with Nvidia's new drivers, I may have to downgrade to an older one?

Anyone? I'm thinking about buying the game, but need some idea of how it will run before I hand over my 30 beans...

thanks,
Batman

What is your current driver? The latest beta actually have lots of fixes that cover the problem with previous driver version. Current i'm using the latest beta so far it's fine. Only habe problem with planet side 2 though i suspect the problem might caused ny the game itself since i got more frequent crash after game update last week

if i remember correctly 660 MSRP was 240. add another 10 you get 760. but that was launching price. last time newegg offering the card for 180 after MIR. i haven't check pricing as of late but if you look harder maybe you can find 660 for much cheaper than it's MSRP price. also when nvidia making price drops they usually don't make it into news like how amd cards always was.

I apologize if I did not make it clear, but I already have my system assembled with the GTX 660 and everything. I was wondering just how well I would be able to play GTA 4 on this system.

About the XPS 8500 coming with the GTX 660, not in my case, mine came with an AMD 7570. Which isn't a very good card, so I got the new GPU and all is well so far.

I see, with gta 4, around medium to high settings. GTA4 isn't optimized for PC, even the highend rigs have some problems with it. They ported it to pc as a "whole world" game. Remember with vice city or san andreas when you cross the bridge, it loads, but on gta4, no loading. All the map is loaded already, so that is so much work for the CPU.
