GeForce GTX 550 Ti Sonic review

nother GeForce GTX 500 series product hit the market last week. Man, both ATI/AMD and NVIDIA have been really active with all the new product releases ever since Q3 last year now.

To address the lower mid-range segment NVIDIA outs the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, priced at roughly 135 USD we call it the bang for buck product. And guess what, the 550 Ti is nothing to be ashamed about.

A product that will likely replace the GTS 450 real soon. Armed with an all new GF116-400 GPU this product has 192 shader processors embedded and is running a cool full gigabyte of GDDR5 memory on a 192-bit wide bus.

The first series of cards already arrived like two weeks ago here in that underworld we call the Guru3D trenches...

Today we'll be putting the GeForce GTX 550 Ti Sonic from Palit to the test, armed with a new cooler we expect no noise and decent temperatures. The the card comes factory overclocked as well, and not a little. We'll have a deeper look in the product gallery of course. As stated this card comes factory overclocked, from 900 towards 1000 MHz. Extremely high frequencies... but get this, we'll bring this card towards a whopping 1100 MHz today.

Let's have a peek at what the GTX 550 Ti has in store for us.



Galaxy GTX 550 Ti LTD OC WHITE review


ATI/AMD and NVIDIA have both been really active with all the new product releases ever since Q3 last year now.

To address the lower mid-range segment NVIDIA today outs the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, priced at roughly 135 USD we call it the bang for buck product. And guess what, the 550 Ti is nothing to be ashamed about.

A product that will likely replace the GTS 450 real soon. Armed with an all new GF116-400 GPU this product has 192 shader processors embedded and is running a cool full gigabyte of GDDR5 memory on a 192-bit wide bus.

In this review we'll have a peek at the warmongers from KFA2 (Galaxy), they unleash this cute little beastly looking GTX 550 Ti LTD OC edition graphics card. And to make it even more special, they slapped all components on a sexy white PCB again. Armed with that atypical looking cooler you'll learn that this product makes no compromises, you will not hear it, it will not run hot and it even comes factory clocked at a full GHz, quite amazing as GPUs seem to slowly pass that weird 1 GHz threshold.

If that's not enough then KFA2 has a little extra as well, of course that cool looking white PCB, a cooler from which the shield is detachable, good quality component section, two embedded NEC Proadlizers to clean up power like a water-filter and then they even placed more phases on the product to ensure you'll reach an even higher clock frequency, should you choose that mission to accomplish of course. So you'll also notice two 6-pin power connector on this card.

All in all we have a lot to show you. Let's have a peek at what the GTX 550 Ti has in store for us; yep -- we're here and we're ready. They're not. Bring it. To quote a certain mister Sheen,
