Gigabyte G1 Assassin and Intel Core i7 990X Extreme Edition Review – 5ghz

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 testing in DX11 mode with all settings on the highest. Direct X 11 features are on high.

Everytime we benchmark Lost Planet 2, the urge to have a nap always strikes. This is one very boring game, but its a good Direct X 11 test of modern day hardware. The engine at these settings will drive a lot of hardware into the ‘unplayable' zone, but both GTX580 and HD6970 when paired up with the Intel 990x and Gigabyte Assassin motherboard deliver great frame rates.
