Test Setup
So, we’ve had a good look at the card itself but the question is, what can it do? We have set up a few benchmarks to see how it performs. I have managed to acquire a few cards for comparison kindly provided various friends whose computers I had built for them and a few who had some older cards lying around. I proceeded to perform maintenance’ on the computers and after a lot of card swapping, I had plenty of results! Anyway, this process allowed me to get a good few cards for comparison that directly compete with the GIGABYTE GTX 550 OC.
