Gigabyte GeForce GTX 550 Ti OC Graphics Card Review

Heaven Benchmark 2.1
The Heaven Benchmark is an industry-standard for DX11 card benchmarking due to it’s large popularity on release. Heaven makes use of amazing DX11 tessellation and really shows what modern day PC’s are capable of these days.

Both the stock GTX 550 and the GIGABYTE version perform admirably in this benchmark, showing that the GTX 550 GPU is capable of handling high anti-aliasing and antistrophic filtering in highly tessellated scenarios. Simply dropping the resolution is like setting the card free, allowing it to beat the 6850 convincingly and to put a considerable amount of FPSs on the GTX 460.
