Yes, the photoelectric current depends on the intensity of incident radiation. The intensity of incident radiation basically indicates the number of photons falling at a time on the metal surface. So more the number of photons, more the number of electrons eject out at the time. As the current depends on the flow of electrons, an increase in the number of electrons increases the current also.
