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.
I am not a particular fan of this game, but the engine is a great showcase of Direct X 11 coding. The HD6970 delivers very good performance in single card mode, but adding two or three enhances not only the average rate, but the all important minimum frame rate.
What a fantasic product, any ideas of a price?
I wonder who the maker is. Foxconn? Still, hell of a release from Sapphire, certainly put them on the map in 2011, but I wonder if it will sell well due to the new socket which gives mega performance for a fraction of the price
Nice board design not much to fault, apart from the medicore bundle. When is it released? I could never get the sapphire power supplies here, so ill be curious to see availabity.
Class name too, instead of DU-23723 V12 like you see with many makers, we need catchy, memorable names. Sapphire always do this, ‘toxic. etc.
This kind of setup is way out of my price range, ill be aiming for 2500k in a few months.
really nice review, mega testing. gotta love the noctua NH D14!
any chance I could get that system mailed over to me? ill cover postage.
Good board layout and cant see much wrong with it. Id like a CMOS button on the back of the board though for easy pressing if needed.
Hey zardon, I know you love the noctua NH D14, but how far would this CPU go on the mobo with something a little less expensive? im curious
I wonder how often they will update the bioses on these boards. I doubt they make them, so im guessing the bios update situation might be a ‘second’ priority for the motherboard originator
Where did this come from? I never read any announcements about it. Hell of a good OC on air there guys. will be curious to see the pricing.
way 2 go sapphire, but why not an AMD board !
‘why no amd board?’
They probably know that an intel board like this will sell much better than an AMD product. its a high end enthusiast product and unfortunately AMD cant compete. probably why dirk meyer is collecting an early pension. I hope it changes.
oh yeah, great review Z.
Well I am rather impressed with this product. Have you any ideas on the availability date yet >?
Most excellent. great overclocking results. I cant get my 980 past 4.1ghz on my asus board.
Noctua NH D14 FTW. great review!
I’ve had enough of apple and all their difficulties. It’s one scandal right after another with their products. No more will I fall into apples marketing propaganda which is all hype. Don’t believe the paid bloggers on here who defend or deny the many countless problems of apple products.
