EVGA GeForce GTX550 Ti FBP Video Card Review and SLI Performance

Author: Will West

There are six tests in 3DMark 11. The four graphics tests use advanced rendering techniques making use of tessellation, volumetric lighting, depth of field and post processing effects enabled by DirectX 11 graphics hardware. The physics test uses rigid body simulation of a large number of objects on the CPU. The combined test features CPU and GPU workloads. The CPU handles rigid-body physics while the GPU is tasked with volumetric lighting, tessellation, post processing as well as simulating soft-body physics using DirectCompute.

The testing was done with the default performance setting for all of the cards to give an idea where each ones stands in the GPU line up.

3DMark 11 shows a similar performance profile over the reference design as we saw in our 3DMark Vantage test with the EVGA FPB card taking a good lead.  SLI performance is also considerably faster than the GTX 560Ti thus proving that even with a slight overclock you can get a good performance boost.
