XFX ATI Radeon HD5670 1GB Passive Heatpipe CFx 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 testing in DX11 mode to ascertain HD5670 performance via HD television resolutions.

Lost Planet 2 is an intensive DX11 game which requires very powerful graphics hardware. In Crossfire X the game is almost playable at 720p, with a few lowered settings the minimum frame rate would increase into the 25-30fps zone. Scaling is very good however.
