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 normally test at higher settings, but the hardware being evaluated today was not capable of maintaining solid framerates. We are therefore testing at 1080p in DX11 mode with settings on high. DX11 is set to medium.
Lost Planet 2 is an intensive Direct X 11 game which pushes the hardware to the limits. We were surprised by how well the GTX560 AMP! Edition was able to push the frame rates, outperforming the HD6850 by a clear 6 frames per second.
Yay, thats a mega card from Zotac !
I like that a lot. Great price, its £30 less than the HD6950 too.
that is one seriously fast clocked card. 1ghz? 460 eat your heart out !
as always, great review man. I like the cooler. but I agree, it can get a bit toasty considering thedual fans etc.
Im impressed, and I didnt think that was possible this year with nvidia. any ideas who is stocking it?
Pretty good price, although I see a lot of sites complaining they are priced too high. Dont know how thats worked out. This one is faster than a Ti isnt it ? going on results.
I think this updated series is a waste of time, the Ti was fine, just needed to price them better.
I dont think that cooler is doing that good a job considering the heatpipe design and dual fans? Have zotac overvolted the card to make it stable at 950?
