Lost Planet: Extreme Condition = WideScreen Friendly! :)

Supports all my available resolutions right in the settings, with optional aspect correction, multi cpu, and multi gpu options!

Some +H on the HUD overlay, but they have aspect corrected the mini-map, and its nice and big, using some of that screen space - so its all good :)

Very nice looking game, ticks all the dx9/dx10 effect check-boxes and makes my system squeal like a pig with everything turned up! :(

Boring screenshots :P

Man, you'd need some kind of supercomputer to run this game on triplehead.

I tried the demo to see what the fuss was about, couldn't even get it to run, if the demo is this buggy, I won't even consider the full game.

Just seems like another poorly coded port so far.

The dx10 demo version crashed about every 10 minutes on my machine. I am leery of paying 40 bucks for a game whose demo crashed all the time. It ran mediocre at 1280x1024 so I can't even imagine how it would run on the triplehead; assuming it would run at all.

I played the DX9 version all the way through without crashing... Must just be Vista/DX10 sucking balls!

The mech's and effects are cool, but the gameplay is your usual bland console fare...

@ Jazw: how is you rperformance and what is your system?

skeeder · Post by **skeeder** » 25 Jul 2007, 15:19

@ Jazw: how is you rperformance and what is your system?

starfighter - If your curious, I have a two 7950GX2 cards in my system. Even though I can turn everything on at 3840x1024, I had to turn down all the graphics to make it playable at this resolution. It seems to really lag when outside and the snow is falling.

This game is a killer on systems. I only wish it was more efficient in the code.

Using the 163.11 beta drivers really improved the frame rates for me ... I am running the game with maximum settings 4xAA at 3840x1024 ... and I've not noticed any slowdowns ... 40-50 FPS.

starfighter: Irony! - I spent ages putting my system stats in my sig, but it violated the forum rules and I havent gotten around to re-doing it :P

Basically I'm running a pair of 512mb 7900 GTO's in SLI mode and a dual core athlon 4200, on an asus a8n32 sli deluxe, inside my sexy new Lian-Li case - http://tinyurl.com/yqwo69 :)

With eveything maxed out, I found performance to be unplayable @ 3840x1024 and ended up putting the motion blur on low and using 2400x600 for a super-smooth experience.

same here, I ran it at 1280x800 and it was nice, 1680x1050 was unplayable.

I have seen more often dual sli to be slower than normal sli so maybe you give it a try with only one gx2 card!

I will test the game with one GX2 but still have not the game yet.

Yes, indeed the great 8800GTX, but you are using DX9 rendering, arent you?
