If you roll back the patch the game runs fine on AMD hardware too. The information is out there.

Has AMD even fixed the green artifacts in GTA4 when it rains?
The game runs well for me on my 5870,no artifacts. This is a benchmark I had done a while back http://www.xfire.com/profile/tom455o...view#117250298 Settings. http://www.xfire.com/profile/tom455o...view#117250297

The benchmark is easier to run than actual game play.

Here is some game play on high settings and latest patch. http://www.xfire.com/video/4ddfde/

I have friends that play gta4 on ati cards and the game runs fine. That 7970 would be a good card for gta4,it looks like it will have the power to really max out the game.
