Biostar TZ77XE4 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 Grand Theft Auto 4: Episodes for Liberty City the performance gains when overclocking are far greater as it is a much more CPU intensive game than DiRT 3.

  1. Nice to see a different company being reviewed on Kitguru. never actually had one of their boards but this one looks quite good to me.

  2. Wow another Z77 board. Id love to know right now, how many Z77 boards are in the channel. must be at least 40.

  3. Good looking board, but not sure I would buy biostar, have they any UK warranty terms etc? I know ASUS have a good return/replace system via their paretners?

  4. MediaExpresso’s chart says higher scores mean better performance.

  5. ?

    I think you might be mistaken. The faster the encoding time, the less time you have to wait.
