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 game was developed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. Originally set to be released in early 2010, Capcom delayed the game’s consoles release to May 11, 2010 in North America and Europe and May 20, 2010 for Japan, and the Windows release for October 12, 2010.
Capcom and NVIDIA have recently released a preview of Lost Planet 2 that runs in either DirectX 9 or DirectX 11 mode. This release allows users to determine if their hardware is suitable enough to achieve good performance when the game is released in October 2010. They have included 2 series of tests. The first is a 3 part test that uses scenes from different areas within the game. While the 2nd test pushes the DirectX 11 features to their maximum. While we normally dont use a pre defined benchmark script to determine our numbers, we decided to add it today because of the fact that it tests DirectX 11 features.
The results of the testing show that the 1st and 2nd scene scale as one would expect. When we run the 3rd scene test the numbers don't seem to jive. Our highest average and minimum frame rate was scored with the DirectX 11 features set to their highest level. We ran each test 5 times to make sure we report the correct numbers presented by tests. Chances are this is the result of fine tuning of the drivers since the release of this benchmark.
What a lovely looking little board that is. very attractive and great implementation. Awesome to see you guys reviewing more products just outside the UK viewpoint
Well this came out of the blue! I have heard a few good things about these boards and deservedly so by the looks of it. seems like a radical design well done. Nice review Steve, enjoyed reading this one.
I will be surprised if anyone in europe know this company, seem to be US/Canada only.
I concur with other people though this is a great looking little card at a fantastic price. what are the noise levels like ?
Radical design ! love the GTX460s glad to see KG aint giving up reviewing em
What is their warranty system like in Canada Steve? big deal for me as every card I seem to buy fails.
Just ordered this from newegg. was looking at it for a while but couldnt find any reviews online. hope its good or ill be back 😉
Wish more manufacturers would let you remove the fan like this, I know powercolor did it on one of their cards recently but it was a crappy ATI 5770 I think. this is much more like it. Do they make a 1GB version of this?
NEver heard of them? are they a new make? Galaxy? is this a newegg brand?
nice review steve. They let you keep it :p
Seriously, never heard of them either, are they related to newegg on some level? one of their partners ?
this is rather good for being one of the makes we normally laugh at. pricing is also excellent, but I wouldnt touch a 768mb card. maybe 1gb. good on a budget however.

I have just bought this card and i think it is just amazing for the price range that it is in. it has great overclocking potential e.g. standard clock 675mhz vs good overclock 850mhz. So galaxy has lived up to its name to let only the products that meet the “GALAXY” overclocking mark through to its production.
