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.
Again the Sapphire HD6870 comes top of the pile when you take away overclocked editions. All the overclocked GTX460's perform exceptionally well with this particular engine, with the MSI Talon at 1000core scoring well over 50 frames per second. The HD6870 does manage to outperform the reference clocked GTX460 however by 2 frames per second. The Sapphire HD6850 manages to hold onto the shirtails of the HD5870, losing out by only a single frame.
Your 6850 have 1120 sharders. o_o”
these are really good cards, love the performance and price.
Excellent boards those, really look the part and performance is awesome. overclocking is great !
Shit… haha 6850 is a killer card and guess what? its right in the price range im looking at 😀
Only thing i can say reading other reviews is that the 6850 reference cooler is pretty weak. These sapphire cards look great for the money 😀 (6850) will reserve judgement til i seem overclocked 6870s
Killer card indeed, couldnt agree more.
HD6870 is good, but I dont like reference designs, too noisy/hot/ I will wait for sapphires or XFXs custom cooling one.
HD6870 is the one I would get, but not reference version. will wait a month for vapor X or toxic version.
6870 reference design is a waste, waiting on other solutions
the hd6870 isn’t my first choice until they get third party products out of the stable,
Its always the way with launches, but its weird AMD have let their partners make third party solutions for 6850s
over clocked HD6870s might be hard to get out the door with such poor over clocks on the core. seems both boards max out around 950
While these cards aren’t awe inspiring, when you look at the price 150 for a 6850. about the same as the 5770. 25% more performance, looks good.
those overclocks on the 50 are great. id say overclocked versions will be out really soon. vapor x anyone ?
As JC stated, this 6850 has 1120 shaders instead of the default 960…
The bottom gpuz screenshot is for the 6870
I get the same 3dmark vantage score as this HD6850. I was hoping I might even up with a 1120 shader version but sadly not 🙁
@ Jon
I saw in another review that they managed to get the Sapphire 6870’s core clock to 1000mHz stable. I’m sure if put under water, these cards will have a bit more overclocking headroom anyway.
