DX10 Video card Benchmarks: Lost Planet

Lost Planet

Source: Capcom

This fast-paced third person shooter takes you across the vast and frozen landscape of E.D.N III. The ability to fight stealthily on-foot or from within heavily armored Vital Suits offer two unique modes of game play. While on foot, use the zip line to get to strategic enemy annihilating vantage points and discover unexplored areas and weapons. Or, jump into our vital suit or hijack an enemy Snow Pirate's VS to go head to head with enormous and more powerful Acrid foes.

The Palit HD4870X2 videocard breezes though Lost Planet at 1600x1200 HQ with good results, but playability is only assured with lower quality settings. At 1600x1200 LQ framerates hover around the 71FPS mark.
