    And the thread is still miraculously open. I thought lost planet was a horribly coded game, I couldn't play it on my 2600HD, so... its not a preference to use to benchmark

    so is Crysis... :p

    Other games are better for benchmarking... like Bioshock, UT3, CoD4... any game that is better coded.

    Yes but no trouble running Lost Planet on my SLI 8700m GT. With overclocking and the right drivers these cards can do miracles. In my opinion they are not so much limited by it´s 128 bit bus, at least now when running them in SLI.
