Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

The Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX is in the lead, just like it was in the demo version, which is not surprising since this game is part of Nvidia’s The Way It’s Meant to Be Played program. The two models of the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT and the GeForce 8800 GTX 640MB share the second place.

Alas, although the game visual aren’t exceptional, none of the existing high-end graphics cards can ensure a normal speed at the highest graphics quality settings. You may want to switch some settings from High into Medium position as it doesn’t affect the visual impression from the game much.

FSAA doesn’t affect the speed of the game. It is obviously not a limiting factor. The Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX remains the only graphics card in this review to provide a near-comfortable speed.
