THIEF – PC Performance Analysis

THIEF was advertised as a game that would take advantage of the PC platform.

And while there are no obviously advantages for quadcore users, we are happy to report that THIEF runs better than the two aforementioned titles. Continue reading THIEF – PC Performance Analysis
