Lost Planet 2
Lost Planet 2 (DirectX 11)
The gigantic Akrid, epic environments, and heavily-armoured vital suits of Lost Planet 2 come to PCs beginning October 15! LP2 will be coming to your favorite digital distribution portal soon as well.
Featuring support for DirectX® 11 and DirectX 9, Lost Planet 2 delivers its Akrid-infested world in even greater detail. Through DirectX® 11 features, smoke will have lifelike volume and depth, water surfaces react realistically to player interaction and bullets, and level bosses are rendered with more detail than ever before.
The primary purpose of Test B is to push the PC to its limits and to evaluate the maximum performance of the PC. It utilizes many functions of Direct X11 resulting in a very performance-orientated, very demanding benchmark mode.
Lost Planet 2 Test Settings
Lost Planet 2 is actually just slightly faster on the GTX 570 than the GTX 480 and the higher performance GTX 580 is only 16% faster at the top resolution. Again though, the AMD Radeon HD 5870 2GB card is well behind any NVIDIA option.
I’m surprised by the heat
I’m surprised by the heat consumption. I wonder how that would be effected through virtualization. You can run it through this Power Consumption Calculator
