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 i5-660 allowed us to play Grand Theft Auto 4: EFLC at a playable frame rate although it wasn't quite as good as we were expecting. Reducing the graphic settings significantly didn't have a huge impact on the frame rate as this game is very CPU intensive.
Really good review, I like these systems and it is always great to see coverage. CPU is good for the price too. Not sure I agree it would need to be core i3, core i5 performance is very strong for the clocks.
weird design if there is no CMOS clearance switch ?
I need a media system like this, my PC noise levels are rubbish for media 🙁
What is that cooler like? a reference intel cooler ?
Nice little system that. Would probably use a different chassis tho
Sounds like the perfect board for me, on my to buy list.
The zotac board seems a better deal than this one as the overclocking options are better.
If they allow for overclocking but give no way to rescue it, what is the point of that? if it locks out how do you get back to normal.
Are you sure the board cant overclock? what is the point of giving bios options if they dont allow voltage increases or ways to get it back to default speeds? isnt that a recipe for a disaster?
