I wouldn't think so, the game needs quite a bit of power and I have never heard anything good about any of the 9000 cards.

Another guy in this forum can't even run left 4 dead at max settings with a 9500gt. Although he did have the 512mb version instead of the 1gb, but we all know you need more than memory for a gpu.

I would noy count on high. But somewhere with decent middle quality settings. GTA IV loves GPU memory so you are covered with 1GB. At 1024x 768 9500GT might just do the job but don't expect to turn everything to max. Also GTA IV needs lot of processor power my Q6600 quad at 3.2GHz has around 80% load all the time across all cores, friends E2220 @3.2 GHZ pretty much constant 100% load. So Your cpu will struggle and You definately will need to turn CPU dependant settings down.

I struggle with my set up. My poor old X2 6000+ @3.3ghz really cant deliver whats needed if I turn the gfx settings up. That 5000+ is really gonna have a hard time. I have a slightly better gfx card, the 9800GTX.

What can I say, the game is a total resource hog.

I dont think anyone can run it on full settings ?

The 9800 gtx is a lot more than slightly better than his 9500, which would give him even less hope of running the game and making it look pretty at the same time.

Although you didn't say a res, it could be twice his for all I know.

well to everyone who says the amd x2's and geforce 9000 series are not good enough to run this game, think again, i am running:

amd 4800 x2 2.5 ghz
4 gb corsair xms2 memory
160 gb maxtor diamond max
xfx geforce 9500 gt 512 mb

this seems a mere pc compared to some quad cores etc, and yet it plays gta iv flawlessly on my 37" lcd tv
running a resolution of 1280x720

the only thing i had to do was turn off the amd cool and quiet technology and away i went!

It works on my pc, not on the highest because then the car lights lag the crap out of me..
