nVidia Geforce GT430 Review

Lost Planet 2 is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the sequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition which is also made by Capcom, taking place ten years after the events of the first game, on the same fictional planet. The story takes place back on E.D.N. III 10 years after the events of the first game. The snow has melted to reveal jungles and more tropical areas that have taken the place of more frozen regions. The plot begins with Mercenaries fighting against Jungle Pirates.

After destroying a mine, the Mercenaries continue on to evacuate the area, in which a Category-G Akrid appears and attacks them. After being rescued, they find out their evacuation point (Where the Category-G appeared) was a set-up and no pick up team awaited them. Lost Planet 2 runs on the MT-Framework 2.0, an updated version of the engine used in several Capcom-developed games.

We are running the benchmarks at 720p in Direct X 11 mode.

*Red HD5670 * Green GT430

Both cards struggle with this intensive DX11 engine, however the HD5670 gives a slightly smoother experience throughout. Settings would need to be lowered in the game settings however (or DX9 mode used) for a fully smooth experience. This game is new however and we would expect new driver revisions to enhance performance over the coming months.
