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 on maximum. Direct X 11 features are also set to high.
Lost Planet 2 is a demanding Direct X 11 title, even if the game fails to excite. This is another nvidia friendly title which is indicated by the performance from the GTX460 OC solution. The HD6950 is the top performer followed by the HD5870.
I am not easily impressed, but this did it.
That is one hell of a mid range graphics card. Wish they would bring out a MARS or ARES style card. my money is on that it would be better than anything asus could do.
I love their frozr coolers. buddy of mine has one of their older boards and the cooling system is the best on the market.
I love their customised solutions, the high end modded stuff they bring out. this is f*cking brilliant.
With all the extras ill be stunned if this retails for only £20 more than reference
59c under gaming load. thats specatular. my 6850 runs 10-15c higher.
I never knew they made customised cards like this. its a complete overhaul. excellent. so im waiting on the 560 modded one now 🙂
man I love this site, I was waiting on this card and didnt expect a review so soon. ordering it when I can.
Great bit of engineering from MSI, these guys can deliver smoking hot hardware when they put their mind to it. they are just slow on releasing the hardware, but worth the wait.
Biggest issue I have is that with 20-30 more than a reference HD6870, you are starting to get into the 6950 zone.
Very elaborate design. A lot of work went into this card. Nice job.
I love the metal cooler, thats radical. bet it weighs a ton.
I love my MSI 5770 HAWK
can’t wait to get this R6870.. Better start saving money..
😀
exelente review!!!! en estos dias me llegaaa y estoy feliiz!!
I bought two of these cards on recommendation. Glad I did after reading this 😀 Would love crossfire-x support tho, then i would have got three 🙂
I got two and one is bad. Card its WAY too hot 90c when playing BF3 while my other card was nice and cool max temp 52c. Cost to ship and replace under RMA was $21 Fedex. MSI sent my card back from RMA after 4 weeks and its still at 90c on load. Its like they didn’t even touch it. I can’t recommend this card due to MSI RMA. Just do a quick search on hot twin frozer cards. Its a nightmare. Run from MSI.
Sorry to hear that, ill mention it to MSI.
If your Twin frozer is getting hot.
Remove the cooler and clean the GPU form to thick thermal paste.
Ad some Artic silver paste and voila a cooler card.
Well that fixed my hot issue.
i have a this card and i would like to know something that is not explained anywhere, not even the manual.
There is a few red leds on top of de video card and i don´t know what is their function (in my case are always on). Could anyone tell me? Thanks!
