Asus EAH6850 Direct CU Overclock Edition 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 maximised (AA is disabled).

Lost Planet 2 is a very demanding Direct X 11 game which requires powerful hardware to deliver playable frame rates at these settings. An average of around 36 fps with minimum drops to 25fps is a good showing from the Asus card.

  1. I have owned several asus cards and they always have served me well. this looks a solid purchase with a fine price. cant beat £159.99 ! (well you could, £99.99 – talk to them zardon :p).

  2. Very nice indeed. good performance all round. Quick question however, why 3 screen testing, who the hell can afford 3 monitors?

  3. Rather boring looking board, but it performs well. temps are excellent. 65c under load is more like what I want to see.

  4. Been waiting for a good review of this for a while, saw it on OCUk last week, didnt know if it was any good. I agree about the low overclocks. surely its not hard to crank the bios clocks a bit, its basically running at stock and can hit 1000mhz on the core !

  5. Excellent, been waiting for this for a while. I never buy Sapphire or XFX, only Asus. I wait 🙂

  6. Excellent all round card, doesn’t seem that quiet though which is a bit disappointing

  7. Leather case is a weird addition for a gfx?

  8. Poor clock choice for such a card, far too low

  9. price of the 6850 is good, crossfire they are killer, but bot sure it’s worth it as a really fast single card doesn’t need a profile
