ok first thing - never choose a video card based on what's bundled with it.

Well, I am not choosing a card because of what game comes with it, The eVGA and XFX card are the same price and almost the same warrentee.

When I am ready to buy, I might be able to get the eVGA card $5-10 lower, but if the game is good, then I will just get the XFX.

It is more of a value question.

Any feedback on the game?

sorry - never played it

typically the games sold with video cards have great graphics but bad gameplay, there are exceptions of course - thats what i've found anyway

Lost Planet will bring that card to it's knee's. It is a poorly coded port.

Guys check this , I was just playing dx10 lost planet one day and at fisrt i remember that things would stop to a stand still and advice you to put your settings down.

I have a 8800GTX , I am a qualified techniatian and I was curious to why this happens .

So what I did was left task manager running and ran both dx9 and dx10 versions. I was very surprised to see how little of resources are used in task manager by lost planet dx10 than lost planet dx9.
