XFX HD6970 3-way CFx & HD6950 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 with all settings lowered from single screen testing earlier.

In single card mode, neither HD6950 or HD6970 can deliver a good enough frame rate for an enjoyable gaming experience at these settings. Slotting in another card however brings the frame rates up to 25 fps+ at all times. If you have three screens and want to play Lost Planet 2, then multiple cards are going to be needed.
