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 the settings displayed in the screenshot below to achieve playable framerates on our 1080P monitor.
The results above prove the worth of overclocking with the Zotac GT 240, allowing us to increase the average framerate by almost 6 fps and the minimum by 8 fps. But with the GFXChilla installed, we were only able to achieve 1 fps more in both minimum and average frame rates over the overclocked stock card.
Might work better on a hotter core, but its cheap enough. shame its so ugly mind you.
I would say anyone aiming to cool a high end board would spend more on a cooler like this ?
That has to be the most ugly looking cooler i have seen in recent years. Looks like they forgot to paint it. an airfix kit.
Seems to be priced more for low end cards so I think the fact you tested it on a mass market card is a good idea rather than a 5870 or something. I agree though, its extremely ugly looking, not exactly primed for a case mod window system.
Might be a good deal for someone who has spend say 120 quid on a card or less and wants to improve the cooling. I cant see anyone with a high end board getting this when artic cooling have such brilliant third party coolers out now. price is good, looks arent. Isnt that part of the reason of getting a third party cooler to get something that looks wicked and also cools well?
Not a bad product, but quite fugly!
