Lost Planet 2 Benchmark Analysis

Capcom announced that the PC version of Lost Planet 2 will be released on October 15 and to celebrate it, they released the benchmark of the game. You can download it from here. So it's time to see if Capcom optimized their engine for the PC.

We used a Q6600 (@ 3.6Ghz) with 4GB DDR2 and a GTX295 and we were clearly CPU limited, even at 1600x1200 with 16xCSAA HQ and max details in DX9. We got 75.6fps in the first scene, 71.3fps in the second and 61.4fps in the third. In all the scenes that had a lot of human characters on screen, the framerate was taking a noticeable hit. It comes as a shock, since Lost Planet 2's AI is average at best.
