Now you can run it without too much problem, I think you can do it with the fluidity. Obviously with some adjustments we can make it (well depending on your configuration however).

Whatever but the GTA 4 release on PC was completely hopeless. A superb game with number of bugs

Fix for ATI 1900 shadows

What is this madness, I have no need to have a ati 1900 to have problems with the shadows. If my shades are not more beautiful after this patch, I think this will be the last games I buy rockstar.

Pity that the PC Gaming still encounter such problems, Already it is necessary to have a fairly advanced configuration, set its games, set up its games without encountering problems, and pray that the games be optimized, it must also patch games when they are badly done and we need to patch its drivers to make sure it is properly optimized. So after 10 days you can finally play "normally" a games console that came out a year ago.

In short, the PC is not necessarily the most optimal platform for video games, because we must add to this that the majority of their players download PC games illegally, I do not think it motivates a developer to invest a lot of money in a PC games.
