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 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.
We weren't able to max out the graphics settings in this test as the HIS Radeon HD 5830 didn't have enough graphics memory. But the results we achieved are great, with really good frame-rates maintained throughout the test.
Yeah that doesnt look to be that good. the board layout, sata ports etc are badly designed. Fair score.
I dont think overclocking is that big a deal on a product like this, but there are weaknesses in quite a few other areas which are well noted.
Seems ok for a basic media center, but the pricing is putting it against better products.
Foxconn make a lot of products for other companies but this isn’t one of their best, thats a cert.
Poor value for money for such a stripped out board.
If they dropped the price to 50 quid then it would make more sense.
The bios needs an overhaul. its silly for them to offer overclocking in software and not in the bios.
This harware is OK for a media PC because you don’t need Sandy Bridge? What about transcoding? A media PC needs Sandy Bridge the most, for transcoding and reduced power dissipation. HD media streaming is actually very challenging for hardware.
aaaah i cant make my xfx 5830 work on this motherboard, my graphic card is fine id tested on my friend motherboard and it work perfect, i hate this motherboard
what bios version is used on this test?
