Product Description

Product Description

ENGTX550 is factory overclocked to perform at an incredible 975MHz, 75MHz faster than stock performance, resulting in higher frame rates in games. PC performance seekers know overvolting gets the extreme results they crave. This is why ASUS’ exclusive Voltage Tweak is so cool – it goes deep into graphics cards to supply them with more energy, so they deliver more speed and graphics-pushing. You will enjoy complete control over tweaking through the intuitive user interface – making it easy to get to 50%* gain in performance.

SmartCooling is an ASUSexclusive technology that effectively reduces the fan noise under normal use, and dissipates the heat when the GPU loading is high. SmartCooling only works on specially designed ASUS graphics cards with monitor chip that can detect and adjust the board temperature and fan speed. When activated, SmartCooling allows you to set five (5) GPU temperature thresholds and the fan speed dynamically changes according to this temperature threshold. When the the GPU temperature is below the lowest threshold, SmartCooling automatically reduces the fan speed to the lowest fan speed level to reduce noise and save energy. Moreover, when the GPU temperature passes over the threshold, SmartCooling automatically increases the fan speed for better heat dissipation.

The original SmartDoctor allows you to manually adjust both core and memory clocks to boost your graphics card performance. Now ASUS features the new HyperDrive technology that allows you to easily and dynamically change the speed of the GPU and memory to gain more power from your graphics card.

5.0 out of 5 stars nVidia GTX550 ti TOP 22 Dec 2011
By I. T. Jones
Great value graphics card, comes overclocked at 975Mhz. Replaced a venerable 8800 GTS as it would only run Skyrim in Low res - now set to Ultra High and the 550 ti more than copes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 17 Aug 2012

I bought this card to replace my trusty 9800GT. Skyrim now runs at 1920 x 1080, ultra high, everything switched on, typical 55 fps and no lower than 45 fps where there's a lot of action. Prompted me to reinstall Oblivion with everything set to max, fps stays at 60 all the time.

The GPU fan is inaudible at idle rising to fairly quiet on load, certainly not obtrusive.

I was not comfortable with the included Asus Smart Doctor software and I installed Evga Precision X (free prog) which gives me all the control I need and a temperature chart of the last few minutes' use. With room temp of 22c, the idle temp in my rig is 38c rising to 75c max on load. Asus quote 100c max so there's plenty of headroom.

I like the way the card automatically reduces its clock speed on idle (50mhz) and increases it via two steps to its rated 975mhz on load. I know I could try tweaking clocks but I'm very happy with the performance as is.
