ASRock Z77E-ITX Motherboard Review

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City is a standalone compilation of the DLC episodes forGrand 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 now for the newest hardware. The latest version changes some of the rendering calls and is used partially within the latest Max Payne engine. The settings we used to test this game are displayed in the screenshot below.

In this test we see a more substantial boost in performance when overclocked compared to DiRT 3 as performance in this game is more heavily dependent on CPU processing power.

  1. I used one of these boards recently. well not the same board, but an asrock Z77 board and the fact they put in all those automatic overclocking features is better than anyone elses. I dont think ASUS do that do they? you are expected to have good knowledge of the hardware to get good boosts.

    ASROCK are in many ways leading the path IMO.
