Introducing the GTX 570 – the GTX 480’s Performance at $349
Lost Planet 2
Lost Planet 2 is the sequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and is also made by Capcom. The events take place ten years after the first game and on the same, now thawed, EDN III. The PC version was released on October 12, 2010 and it runs on the MT-Framework 2.0 engine; an updated version of the engine used in several Capcom games. Campaign mode can have up to 4 players working together over the Internet. Lost Planet 2 allows players to create and customize their own characters which will allow them to unlock more things after leveling up and downloading content.
We are using the stand alone benchmark in DX11 with maximum settings. We also have the full retail game with the identical benchmark that we shall use the next time. As the game is quite demanding, we first test at 2560×1600 resolution with no AA. 
Just as in the original game, none of our cards can play Lost Planet 2 at 2560×1600 at the highest settings and AA although the GTX 580 comes closest. However, we do see the GTX 570 again passing the GTX 480. Let’s lower the resolution to 1920×1200, add 4xAA, and test again with all of our DX11 cards. 
In this more tessellation-heavy DX11 game, the HD 6870 catches the HD 5870 (finally)! That is quite an accomplishment, however, even the overclocked GTX 460 can beat any of the Radeons by a significant margin. The GTX 580 is impressive and the GTX 570 again beats the GTX 480.
Amazing GPU! now I wish I didn’t get a GTX 480
Oh well, this one will keep me satisfied till 2013 at least.
This is another kick-ass review.. 23 games covered with practical settings/resolutions that an enthusiast gamer would choose with the card is by far the biggest number of games covered in a benchmark review. It is so far ahead of the next hardware review website, that comes up at 2nd place with 16 games. That’s why I love AlienBabelTech!!
plz ABT do a gtx 570 sli review plz.
Thank-you.
I’d love to do a GTX 570 SLI review. It will depend on getting another GTX 570 for review. I am scheduled to do a CrossFire-X review versus SLI for early next year. So far, GTS 450, GTX 460 and GTS 480 will represent SLI and we will have HD 5780 and HD 6000 series.
Rubbish review….don’t bench OC’d cards vs stock ones, the stock ones can be OC’d as well. I know my GTX 480 hits over 900 core which nets me about 20% in most benchmarks….stock vs stock or max oc vs max oc, not stock vs oc as that is stupid.
ALL of the cards are all benched at stocked versus stock speeds. In this case – beside the stock GTX 570 – the overclocked GTX 570 is included as an ‘extra’ to show its framerate scaling with increased clockspeeds since this particular review is all about the GTX 570. In earlier evaluations we covered overclocking the GTX 480 and in each review we overclock our target card in addition to showing it at its stock clocks.
