Benchmarks: GPU

The GeForce GTX 660 Ti is one of our favourite cards of this generation, and when paired with an overclocked Core i5 processor, a 3DMark score of around 2,600 is right where expected.

Smooth, high-quality gaming at a 1080p resolution is crucial for any gaming PC, and the Vanquish Prodigy's default GeForce GTX 660 Ti is up to the task in demanding DX11 titles such as Aliens vs. Predator.

Older, less-demanding titles such as Just Cause 2, meanwhile, are no challenge. Performance is solid, but it's a shame PC Specialist doesn't use an overclocked card to help push performance that little bit higher. Scan's 3XS Z77 Performance Q10 is also powered by a GeForce GTX 660 Ti, but it uses an overclocked Phantom card from Gainward and the extra speed on both core and memory proves useful in this scenario.
