Introducing Galaxy’s GTS 450 SuperOverclock
Lost Planet
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is a Capcom port of an Xbox 360 game. It takes place on the icy planet of E.D.N. III which is filled with monsters, pirates, big guns, and huge bosses. This frozen world highlights high dynamic range lighting (HDR) as the snow-white environment reflects blinding sunlight as DX10 particle systems toss snow and ice all around. The game looks great in both DirectX 9 and 10 and there isn’t really much of a difference between the two versions except perhaps shadows. Unfortunately, the DX10 version doesn’t look that much better when you’re actually playing the game and it still runs slower than the DX9 version.
We use the in-game performance test from the retail copy of Lost Planet and updated through Steam to the latest version for our runs. This run isn’t completely scripted as the creatures act a little differently each time you run it, requiring multiple runs. Lost Planet’s Snow and Cave demos are run continuously by the performance test and blend into each other.Here are our benchmark results with the more demanding benchmark, Snow. All settings are fully maxed out in-game including 16xAF, but AA is left off.
Let’s start with 1440×900:
This time the old 8800 GTX leads followed closely by HD 5750 (the next two chart each have a typo; it is not 5770). Now we test at 1680×1050 resolution:
We see SLI scaling at over 90%. The old 8800 GTX and the HD 5750 tie followed by the Galaxy GTS 450 SOC. AA takes much less of a performance penalty and the overclocked version gains solidly over the stock GTS. Finally we test at 1920×1080 and this time we use 4xAA settings:
For the averages, the GTX 480 edges the HD 5870 and the GTS 450 SLI is a distant third.
It’s a phenomenal review!! I loved how you compared it with a 5750 and my old 8800GTX, plus how you did 450’s in SLI versus 5870 and GTX 480. And the fully-rounded arsenal of games is icing on the cake!
Awesome review, very cool that you added 8800GTX. I was considering swapping mine out for the 450 originally.
i used the mother board MSI 880GM-E43 and A video card GTS 450 my question is what power supply should we used the 600W or 800W pls help me coz got problem in my video card the fan run slowly i just buy it now i used 600w power supply but my game got black screen everytime i play after 2minuts
This is a question best asked and answered in our forums:

However, either PSU is probably sufficient if they are of reasonable quality and not defective. The card’s fan speed is variable, depending on the temperatures. Use Galaxy’s Xtreme HD Tuner or EVGA precision tool to monitor temperatures.
