Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH 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.

We see a bigger performance difference from overclocking in this test as it's more CPU intensive than DiRT 3.

  1. great motherboard, looks a lot better than many of the other GB boards ive seen in recent years.

  2. awesome board, next on my list to buy

  3. I think its £15 overpriced.

  4. Its not overpriced, for what you get its pretty good value. id like to see a few more sata 3 ports however at the price.

    Are there compatibility issues with D14>/?

  6. Hi Optical Illusion,

    I tested the motherboard with a Phanteks PHTC-14PE which is actually slightly larger than a D14. The only compatibility issue would be with memory featuring large heatspreaders but this is going to be an issue with the D14 on pretty much every motherboard on the market.
