Lost Planet Extreme Condition: Colonies Edition is a gold edition version of Lost Planet:Extreme Condition developed and published by Capcom for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. It has the honor of being the first DirectX10 game. The Colonies Edition includes new multiplayer maps, a Human vs Akrid multiplayer mode, and a selection of new multiplayer characters and weapons. The benchmark areas are also different from the non-colonies edition.
The game uses the MT Framework Engine. MT stands for “Multi-Thread”, “Meta Tools” and “Multi-Target”.
1280×960 was the max resolution available. I used the Area 1 for the benchmark purposes. All other settings were maxed out. Here are the screens
Lost Planet is another game that is CPU limited and uses less GPU at lower resolutions. As such, an overclocked 9600 GT is able to overcome a 9800 GT.

Hi. I think this is a great looking card. I would love to put in my machine (acer small form desktop, amd dual core, 4gb ddr2) But I worry about power load because my machine has a teeny tiny 220watt psu. I can’t and don’t want to upgrade because the psu is a proprietary acer form that I cant upgrade easily. It sucks.
What would I risk trying this card on my machine? How can I find out if this would be suitable for my situation? Thanks and great review!!

Update:
Just got this card, put it in my small form Acer. It’s very snug and it gets really hot, but it seems to work fine. I drilled some extra holes in the case, but maybe I need some more. Right now it’s idling at 61 C after cooling off from a short time under load where it reached 80 C. I don’t know if this is normal or not. No crashes yet, but I guess I’ll continue to baby it a bit.
Thanks for this great article!
