Well, with the next rig I have 24fps average, with the lowest rate to 15fps and the highest rate 35/40 fps:

Pentium D Dual Core 3.0Ghz

2 x 1Gb RAM 667Mhz

XFX nVidia GeForce 7600GT XXX Edition

 

Edit: 

Oooops forgot to tell. My apologies. The game settings were all almost maxed out without AA, because I'm using the motion blur at Medium and it performs very well. I'm using 1024x768 as resolution. What a game... I can't even wait to see it finished :3

On top of that if you have a ATI card your pretty much screwed on that demo. ATI said they don't have the proper drivers out yet to run it smoothly.

I've already got a powerful computer with a good ATI card and I'm not willing to fork out 429 for another one. Its stupid that they keep changing them. I'll stick with my Xbox 360. In my opinion it looked better anyway. It freezes everytime on PC with direct x 9. Junky crap game.

The game crashed on me several times and ran like crap.  Funny though, as the system performance test on the demo ran PERFECTLY FINE.  However, in the actual game demo, when it would work it was running worse than the 360 version and I have a freaking 8800 GTS, which is TWICE as powerful as the Xenos GPU in the 360.  This game probably has optimization issues.  Also I think I enabled what I believe to be is a "multi-CPU" option, which I hope was running.  Either way, Capcom has their work cut out for making Lost Planet playable without large scale massacring of PC gamers systems.  Besides, I have the 360 version already :P

The option is not multi CPU, It's multi GPU

Oblivion looks so much better graphics wise, and this game needs a PC 3x as strong. Rediculess.

also i have no problems in any other games well except friggin stalker but i get 60+ fps in open gl games with 2xaa 8xaf and max settings in like quake 4 half life 2 etc. in oblivion it varies but with same settings 30 outdoors and 60+ indoors...in this hunk o garbage its not even playable and the colors are wacked out as in all green and pink...i read that ati isnt supported...are you freaking kidding me..people pay alot for these graphics cards and these **** cant even get a pc game to market without mass conflicts...theres only two companies making the cards for gods sake...do you idiots want to make money or what...maybe if you worked on compatability youd be able to make money to invest in better "next gen" production...you wankers...corporate short sighted piggish greed is not the fast track to excellence.....oh ya and just cause you have vista doesnt mean crap sure it has dx10 but you wont notice anything without a dx10 card .....so be prepared to bend over also i just found that by 1 year old computers stupid pcie slot is too close to the mobo power supply so i cant even upgrade to a dx10 card till i get a whole new comp what utter bullcrap...talk about consumer rapage..and its sad that its all so frickin disorganized....oh well thats my 2 cents....peace

Feel sorry for you guys, I max this thing with 4x AA and 16x AF on DX10 and it looks amazing. It's freaking crazy! Sometimes it feels like one of those CGI movies (especially in the cave). ATI has been far behind lately, and since their DX10 card performs worse than ours it seems like NVIDIA is the way to go.

and it seems we shouldnt get our hopes up to high that games like crysis and bioshock will actually run at all on dx9 gear as promised....get ready to spend alot of money to really appreciate the next gen...which is still a year away....or buy a 360 or ps3 because currently it seems they have given up on the pc gamer with less than the "ultimate rig" which only a few can afford

Stop talking out of your arse, b/c you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

The only game that you will NEED dx10 for is halo2 and that's only b/c M$ is....well, they're M$. Crysis and most other games that are supporting dx10 will also run on cards designed for dx9. As long as you have a nVidia 7-series, maybe even some of the better 6-series, you'll be able to play all the new releases at decent frame-rates, you just won't be able to enable all the bells and whistles. And how much does a top-o-the-line 7-series card cost nowadays? What, like $250 MAX?

So cut out the console fanboism, some people prefer PC gaming, and contrary to semi-popular belief, you do NOT need to shell out a couple grand every year for a new rig. A good, solid gaming rig, NOT bleeding-edge mind you, will last at LEAST 2-3 years MINIMUM.

Anyone running this on an X1950 Pro or alike? I would suspect it can handle it nicely, but it seems Capcom has some optimization it needs to complete. I'm DL'ing it when I get home. Hopefully it gets tuned up before shipping.

Capcom just lost alot of sales witrh that retarded demo. I can run Oblivion at medium on my 6600gt but can barely run this at the lowest res and my monitor resolution isn't even supported.

Now I see people with Monster machines having trouble with this.

Anyway getting a monster machine myself soon and not bothering with this game.

I have a pretty modest system methinks and I have maxed most settings out and I think the graphics are pretty spectacular. The aliens AI is a little non-existent but the game plays fine and again it looks great graphicly with the dx9 demo. Controlling your mech and gattlin gunning away is fun. All in all it's just another shooter which is OK by me.

I am always above 20 fps in caves so I have not seen any real lag yet.

Lost Planet was announced on STEAM for anyone that hasn't heard yet, as well as this demo. Dl'ing now.
