Asus M4A87TD/USB3 Motherboard Review

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 near maximum settings as displayed below.

The increase of about 8 fps when overclocked is quite a lot considering the modest overclock.  The 1075T CPU enabled us to play the game at near maximum settings even at stock settings.

  1. What a stunning price. I know a lot of people never use dual graphics solutions so this is more than ideal.

  2. Good feature set and great price, always buy asus boards meself.

  3. Asus and MSI make the best mobos on the market, bar none

  4. The only downside is the sata ports pointing upwards. bad design decision in 2011, even on a budget board.

  5. Very solid looking board, shame about the sata design, thats rather unusual for asus even on a budget model.

  6. Great stuff. ideal for a low cost performance system.

  7. Finally, a motherboard most people can afford !

  8. have this board SATA 3.0 ?
