After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com
EVGA GeForce GTX550 Ti FBP Video Card Review and SLI Performance

Unreal Tournament 3
Unreal Tournament 3 is a game set sometime in the future that is all about killing. There's no real storyline or singleplayer mode. What UT3 lacks in story, it makes up for in an all-around great gaming experience. The multiplayer is second to none and happens to be a great LAN Party game.
For benchmarking, all graphics settings were turned up to the highest setting. V-Sync and SmoothFrames was disabled to get the maximum gaming frames per second. Post-processing was turned up to intense for a super awesome gaming experience. The level used for the benchmarks is CarbonFire which is loaded with fun loving bots with great one liner comments.
The Unreal Engine is still extremely popular in most modern titles so we keep including it since performance in this game is easily transferable to other titles. The EVGA GTX550 Ti FPB shows a modest performance boost over the reference GTX550 Ti card in UT3 and SLI performance Is dead even with the GTX560 Ti at all resolutions.
