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

3DMark Vantage
3DMark Vantage is a full DirectX 10 compliant synthetic benchmark designed to test the DirectX 10 abilities of your video card. After the benchmark completes you are given a report card of the performance and have the option to submit the results to Futuremark where they can be ranked against others with similar hardware.
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 Vantage shows a healthy jump in performance from the EVGA GTX550Ti FPB when compared to the reference board. We can thank the factory overclock for this. Running these cards in SLI helped make the GTX 550Ti faster than a GTX 560Ti in this test.
