Benchmarks:
We took the Zotac GeForce GTX 550Ti amp! Edition through several benchmarks to see what it could do. We were pretty impressed with how it performed with the scores it put up. We did have an issue with 3DMark Vantage putting up a over-all score, but since we were after the GPU score which was posted on the final screen, we settled with that screen shot.
Benchmark software used:
3DMark 06
3DMark 11
3DMark Vantage
Geeks 3D Fur Mark v1.9
Alien Vs. Predator D3D11 Benchmark v1.03

| Benchmark was ran 1024 resolution | Benchmark was ran at 1200 resolution |
The score at 1024X768 is very respectful 16,137 3DMarks which is the most common resolution for gamers. The next time we ran the benchmark we pushed the resolution up to 1920X1200 and we got a pretty respectful 14,588 3DMarks which is still pretty good score and not likely a resolution used by someone who can just afford a $150 card.
