Test System Specs and benchmarks
Traditionally PCSTATS would run videocard overclocking tests here,
but the PowerColor X1550 512MB is not recognized by the usual
overclocking utilities we rely on so these tests were not conducted.
Prelude to Benchmarks
The details of how the PowerColor X1550
512MB test system was configured for benchmarking; the specific hardware,
software drivers, operating system and benchmark versions are indicated below.
In the second column are the general specs for the reference platforms this ATI
Radeon X1550 based videocard is to be compared against. Please take a moment to
look over PCSTATS test system configurations before moving on to the individual
benchmark results on the next page.

3DMark05 is
best suited for the latest generation of DirectX9.0 graphics cards. It is the
first benchmark to require a DirectX9.0 compliant hardware with support for
Pixel Shaders 2.0 or higher! By combining high quality 3D tests, CPU tests,
feature tests, image quality tools, and much more, 3DMark05 is a premium
benchmark for evaluating the latest generation of gaming hardware.

All things considered the PowerColor X1550 512MB does
not perform too poorly in 3DMark05. It's slow, but 3DMark indicates that it
could provide decent framerates at low resolutions.
3DMark06 is the worldwide standard in advanced 3D
game performance benchmarking. A fundamental tool for every company in the PC
industry as well as PC users and gamers, 3DMark06 uses advanced real-time 3D
game workloads to measure PC performance using a suite of DirectX 9 3D graphics
tests, CPU tests, and 3D feature tests. 3DMark06 tests include all new HDR/SM3.0
graphics tests, SM2.0 graphics tests, AI and physics driven single and multiple
cores or processor CPU tests and a collection of comprehensive feature tests to
reliably measure next generation gaming performance today.

3DMark06 is much tougher on the PowerColor X1550 512MB videocard. Keep in mind that this
solution is intended for the office worker/casual gamer who wants Windows Vista
compatibility. If you want to play games smoother, go with a higher end
videocard.
