Lost Planet

Lost Planet (DirectX 10)


Lost Planet is a 1st or 3rd person shooter that was out originally on the Xbox 360 but then made the transition to a DX9/DX10 title for the PC this summer.  Set in a frozen world where you have to kill the opposing aliens in order to sustain enough heat to stay alive, Lost Planet has some visually impressive settings that make it a good benchmark title.

There are few DX10 settings that you can enable to adjust for which shader path you would like to use that are only available on Vista when a DX10 card is detected.

The Lost Planet game engine continues to scale very well with CPU and GPU performance and at 1920×1200 the EVGA card is actually 10.5% faster than the reference 8800 GT and a full 40% than the AMD HD 3870 card.
