3DMark Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today’s high-performance gaming PCs. It is our [FutureMark’s] most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.
Kicking off with our 3DMark scores, it's clear from these results that the 5500 XT holds a strong performance lead in the Fire Strike and Fire Strike Ultra benchmarks, but not in Time Spy where all three cards are neck and neck.
