DX11: Lost Planet 2

A decade has passed since the first game, and the face of E.D.N. III has changed dramatically. Terra forming efforts have been successful and the ice has begun to melt, giving way to lush tropical jungles and harsh unforgiving deserts. Players will enter this new environment and follow the exploits of their own customized snow pirate on their quest to seize control of the changing planet.

Test A
The primary purpose of Test A is to give an indication of typical game play performance of the PC running Lost Planet 2. (i.e. if you can run Mode A smoothly, the game will be playable at a similar condition). In this test, the character's motion is randomized to give a slightly different outcome each time.

Test B
The primary purpose of Test B is to push the PC to its limits and to evaluate the maximum performance of the PC. It utilizes many functions of Direct X11 resulting in a very performance-orientated, very demanding benchmark mode. (Information obtained from the Lost Planet 2 website)

Cost Analysis: Lost Planet 2 (1920x1080)

• $140 GeForce GTS 450 1GB (MSI Cyclone) = $6.06 per FPS
• $145 Radeon HD 5770 1GB (PowerColor 1GBD5-PPVG2) = $5.54 per FPS

Test Summary: The Lost Planet 2 benchmarks are extremely demanding on our video cards. Even with the settings tuned down from their maximum levels, we can only get close to playable frame rates. It seems the CAPCOM titles are pretty much split down the middle between the MSI N450GTS Cyclone and the Radeon HD 5770 in our test bed. The Radeon HD 5770 outpaces the MSI N450GTS Cyclone at both resolutions nearly 16% and 17% respectively. Even when overclocked above the factory settings, the MSI N450GTS can't quite reach the levels of the Radeon HD 5770.
