Abstract: If you've been keeping up with PCSTATS you'll know that in the Asus EN9600GT videocard review we mentioned that there are other, more affordable graphics cards better suited to playing movies on a HTPC. As luck would have it, one of them magically appeared in the PCSTATS labs this week.
This fast-paced third person shooter takes you across the vast and frozen landscape of E.D.N III. The ability to fight stealthily on-foot or from within heavily armored Vital Suits offer two unique modes of game play. While on foot, use the zip line to get to strategic enemy annihilating vantage points and discover unexplored areas and weapons. Or, jump into our vital suit or hijack an enemy Snow Pirate's VS to go head to head with enormous and more powerful Acrid foes.
Running Lost Planet runs just as poorly as Call of Juarez did on the ASUS EN9400GT videocard. This videocard is about as powerful as the Geforce 8600GTS when both are set to their lowest resolutions and detail settings. At these settings the EN9400GT still can't achieve a playable framerate. As you can imagine, Lost Planet also looks poor at these settings.
