HIS Radeon HD 6950 IceQ Edition Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell November 4, 2011 Announcements, Graphics

Lost Planet 2 is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the sequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, taking place ten years after the events of the first game, on the same fictional planet. We don’t really enjoy playing this game, but the engine is a great Direct X 11 test of modern hardware.

If you want a game to test your graphics hardware, then Lost Planet 2 is one of the best Direct X 11 tests available. The only card which is playable at these settings is actually the HIS HD6950 IceQ X PLUS Edition averaging 35 fps.

    It shows that a small fan isnt necessary bad. they have used massive heatpipes and a huge venting area to ensure it spins slowly. nice idea. shame they dont do a black cooler version. I have a case window mod with lights and this would look hideous in it. (all red lighting in my case)

    Seems to be the best 6950 around. You didn’t point it out, but the fact that this is also a rear exhaust card makes it pretty amazing.

    And I think some black paint might help it out a bit.
