Shortly said:

My pc system:

P4 3.00 GHz Hyper Treading
2 GB Ram
NVidia 6600GT shader 3.0
Sound Blaster Audigy.
Windows XP Professional SP3 with latest updates
DirectX 9.0c with latest updates
Dell Monitor 1280 1024 pixels.
NVidia Drivers 182.08 latest
everything up to date... .

my question:

why average 20 frames per second in performance test in steam version Lost Planet 1.004, if you know 40 Frames per second in Devil May Cry 4 PC edition performance test?

both games are running in 640*360 4/3 letterbox 16/9 letterbox widescreen on 17 inch 5/4 monitor normally 1280*1024 pixels.

games are technically both based on MT framework engine and Lost Planet came out earlyer than Devil May Cry? why is than Devil May Cry 4 faster in running on my PC?

Lost planet didnt run too good on my system either. I scratched it off as being improperly optimized but if you look at LP, theres a boatload of effects which would strain the living hell out of your rig (your CPU is a dinosaur, time to change), particle effects like snow (dust) put a serious dent on perfomance. If you could find a way to disable snowing, Im sure your rigs perfomance will skyrocket.
