Lost Planet – Single GPU
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.
All four of our tested cards here, including the AMD Radeon HD 3870, are performing pretty closely in the single GPU tests. Interestingly, the XFX card that has higher core and shader clock rates consistently performed slower than the ASUS overclocked TOP card – even though that difference was INCREDIBLY small.
