Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City is a standalone compilation of the DLC episodes for Grand Theft Auto IV, containing both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony on one disc. It was released alongside the DLC release of The Ballad of Gay Tony on 29 October 2009 for the Xbox 360 and released on 13 April 2010 for Microsoft Windows and Playstation 3. It does not require a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV to play, nor is an Xbox Live or PSN account necessary (except for multiplayer).
The engine is still extremely demanding for this game – even months later for the newest hardware. The latest version changes some of the rendering calls and is used partially within the latest Max Payne engine. We tested the game using maximum settings.
The i5-750 in conjunction with our Zotac GeForce GTX 470 graphics card managed to achieve a reasonable frame rate at maximum settings although for the best performance, we would recommend overclocking as GTA4:EFLC is very CPU intensive. Gameplay was much smoother when the system was overclocked.
Seems like a good value product to be honest. I like their boards, bioses are normally really good.
60 quid for a board like this is much lower than competiting products from say Zotac. im well impressed with this tbh. shame I have no intention of building a media pc right now.
Its always an issue with the smaller PCB’s. I know zardon had to modifiy the zotac board to fit the arctic cooling cooler onto it in his review. Its always going to be a compromise. someting like the watercooling all in ones you used in this are ideal, if the chassis can accommodate them.
Pretty good board, i think if I was building a media pc tho id opt for a bigger chassis to take a full sized board. these are limited.
