Lost Planet
Lost Planet has an internal benchmark system, which is simple to use and produces consistent results. Should the reader have the game installed, the performance of their system can easily be compared with these results to determine if an upgrade to NVIDIA's latest high-end GPU is warranted.
With all in-game graphics settings on high, a single GeForce GTX 280 delivered excellent performance at the resolutions of 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 across a variety of antialiasing levels.
Lost Planet Performance - Snow - Single GPU
As powerful as the GeForce GTX 280 is, the GPU could benefit from more horsepower in Lost Planet at the Extreme HD resolution of 2560x1600 where the average frame rate topped out at 42.
NVIDIA's solution to this situation is to add a second graphics card using their patented SLI technology. Note that SLI performance may be provided in an update to this article.
In the following gameplay sequence (5MB MPEG Video), an average frame rate of 50 was delivered at the resolution of 2560x1600 with 4x AA. During 7,000 frames, the minimum frame rate was 33 fps.
