Sapphire HD6850 Vapor X Edition Graphics Card 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.

Lost Planet 2 is a dull game to play, but it does look rather impressive, even some time after launch. The Direct X 11 engine is a severe hardware test and we can see that the HD6970 and HD6950 manage to power the game fine, but other lower end hardware struggles at these settings. Disabling Anti Aliasing and lowering the resolution a little would ensure this game was playable at all times.
