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 the highest. Direct X 11 features are on high.
Lost Planet 2 isn’t a game we particularly like, but the DX11 engine is a fantastic hardware test. The Powercolor HD6970 delivers the best single card experience at our settings, even generating higher minimum frame rates than the GTX460 OC Edition in SLI.
Performance is really good , the price is going to mean these sell very well, especially for performance enthusiasts in crossfire!
Powercolor bundle the mini dp cable thats a good extra. surprised more amd partners dont do it.
I wondered why NO partners ever shipped mini DP cables. everyone needs them. competitors wake up! lets can the crappy games and include one of these with every card.
Very impressive card, the price is much lower than I expected. good time to buy, but im waiting on cooler improvements
The cards are really good to me. I dont like nvidia. but I am not sure on the cooler. seems the reference designs arent too good, again. not bad though.
Powercolor are good. I like the bundle in this one, I cant find that mini DP converter in our local store, so this alone would make me buy one. I have three screens, not all the same size, one is displayport. I dont know why AMD dont bundle this converter with alll cards.
power consumption is excellent, performance is good. nice.
wow price wise and very good performance AMD you did it again
May I ask if you could ask them when are they going to release the Radeon HD 6970 with the PCS+ cooler? Thanks.
In fact, I was going to purchase the PowerColor PCS+ 6870 card, until I heard of the new models being released (I didn’t know they were ready for launch), so I decided to wait a little just for a review on the (future, hope) PowerColor PCS+ 6970. Thanks again!
Its going to be january.
Who told you? Who are you?! Is this true?!
Hi Andres, Powercolor are showing the card at CES, so it should be released shortly afterwards.
Yay! Thank you very, very much! Remember to ask them to send you a sample to review. 😀
