The PC edition of Lost Planet 2 will use DirectX 11 for smoke with "lifelike volume and depth," says Capcom, reactive water and level bosses "rendered with more detail than ever before." It also support for Nvidia's 3D Vision and 3D Vision Surround technologies.

The benchmark test is available from FileShack in a 955MB download and contains two tests. The first is intended to recreate typical gameplay performance while the second will "push the PC to its limits," complete with DirectX 11 doohickeys.

If you're not sure whether you can even run the Lost Planet 2 benchmark test, Capcom has shared the minimum and recommended system requirements too.
