Bioshock Infinite

Set in 1912, the game has protagonist, former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the floating air city of Columbia to find a young woman, Elizabeth, who has been held captive there for most of her life. Though Booker rescues Elizabeth, the two become involved with the city’s warring factions: the nativist and elite Founders that rule Columbia and strive to keep its privileges for White Americans, and the Vox Populi, underground rebels representing the underclass of the city. During this conflict, Booker learns that Elizabeth possesses strange powers to manipulate “Tears” in the space-time continuum that ravage Columbia, and soon discovers her to be central to the city’s dark secrets.

Here in BioShock Infinite you can really see that the EVGA GTX 950 SSC is really all you need to run at 1920 x 1080 now you kick up resolutions to 1440p and the 950’s will struggle a little more but at 1920 x 1080 they are looking like prime real estate.

GTA 5

Grand Theft Auto V for PC offers players the option to explore the award-winning world of Los Santos and Blaine County in resolutions of up to 4k and beyond, as well as the chance to experience the game running at 60 frames per second. The game offers players a huge range of PC-specific customization options, including over 25 separate configurable settings for texture quality, shaders, tessellation, anti-aliasing and more, as well as support and extensive customization for mouse and keyboard controls. Additional options include a population density slider to control car and pedestrian traffic, as well as dual and triple monitor support, 3D compatibility, and plug-and-play controller support.

GTA 5 isn’t one of the easiest games to run but here at 1080p the EVGA GTX 950 SSC puts out 43 FPS showing how good a job EVGA really did with the GTX 950 SSC. We came in a few FPS ahead of the FTW model but you can attribute that to minute variations in the benchmark runs.

Shadow of Mordor

Fight through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit that compels you, discover the origins of the Rings of Power, build your legend and ultimately confront the evil of Sauron in this new chronicle of Middle-earth. You may remember some controversy over the recommended system spec for this one being a little crazy. For our benchmarks we turned Order Independent Transparency off as it requires more VRAM than we feel is worth the graphical effect when considering our 2GB available on the GTX 950 and mainstream video cards.

Shadows of Mordor has been the go to game for judging Video Card performance recently so lets take a look at the chart.

This is the Shadows of Mordor 1920 x 1080 oh high preset without HD textures installed and as you can see we get plenty of graphics goodness from the EVGA GTX 950 SSC with double the required 30 FPS cutoff for good graphics that show steady to the human eye.

Now we have Mordor set on the Ultra preset and the EVGA GTX 950 SSC is kicking butt and taking names pushing out a more than acceptable 44 FPS.
