Yesterday we had a chance to test the GeForce 8800 cards and the latest Radeon HD 2900XT landing on the demku game Lost Planet DX10. We also know that revealed that the company AMD slightly afraid to compare the efficiency of these cards, because of prior preparation and optimize the nVidia drivers. Lost Planet is a title sponsored by NVIDIA.

However, after the first run this demka tab R600, it appears that the problem for the time being it is not in the same performance, and the correct rendering graphics on the currently available drivers. So the least we should expect a moment of new drivers from ATI for solving these problems.

And these are the first results of a series of nVidia 8800. As you can see will play hard in this play at the maximum quality image on the card weaker than 8800 GTS.
