Lost Planet

Lost Planet is a 3rd person shooter developed by Capcom and was originally an XboX 360 title until it was ported to the PC some time later. It uses the same engine as in other Capcom titles, such as "Dead Rising" and "Devil May Cry 4" known as MT Framework. It features the Havok physics engine and under Windows Vista and with a compatible video card, DirectX 10.

We not only use Lost Planet to determine the performance hit on Frames Per Second (FPS) when adding Anti Aliasing and Anistropic Filtering, but also the effects of changing the resolution from 1280*1024, to 1600*1200.

Again the 9600 manages to hold it's own against the more expensive cards, surprisingly though, losing out in the lower end settings tests and pulling it back at the higher detail and resolutions.
