ASUS GTX550 Ti DirectCU TOP Review

Aliens vs. Predator, developed by Rebellion Developments, is a science fiction first-person shooter and is a remake of its 1999 game. The game is based off the two popular sci-fi franchises. In this game, you have the option of playing through the single player campaigns as one of three species, the Alien, the Predator, and the Human Colonial Marine. The Game uses Rebellion's Asura game engine that supports Dynamic Lighting, Shader Model 3.0, Soft Particle systems, and physics. To test this game I will be using the Aliens vs. Predator benchmark tool with the settings listed below. All DirectX 11 features are enabled.

Settings

• 4xAA
• 16xAF
• SSAO = On
• Texture Quality = Very High
• Hardware Tesselation = On
• Advanced Shadow Sampling = On

Higher = Better

Aliens vs Predator shows the GTX 550 sitting between the GTX 465 and GTS 450 in all the tests except for the last one. The only nearby AMD card in the charts is the 6850, and the overclocked ASUS GTX 550 nearly matches the stock 6850.
