PNY GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX550TXPB Video Card

Comment:
Ran Poor Organization 2 quite nicely, compact design match effectively in my case. Fan made a seriously loud racket and certain games were unplayable on this card My game of choice is Group Fortress two (yes I know it's an oldie), and this point couldn't play it half as nicely as my three year old 8800 gts. It would randomly lag out and framerates were unimpressive. A few days soon after I recieved the card, the fan started buzzing for many minutes right after bootup, which became worse and sooner or later it was doing it constantly. Newegg was of course really useful about an RMA and I will be ordering a new card from them when I recieve my refund.

For 贶 it's worth it, created a massive distinction even though playing games compared to my older 9400 GT, plus you do get a absolutely free game. I must of waited a little longer to get it at the more affordable value.

I will let you know as soon as I obtain my video card, but I can't do that till I can come across out the status and tracking number which I have not received by way of e mail however. I ordered my video card on Thursday, March 31, 2011, and the only factor I got in the e-mail is that my credit card was billed. I didn't even get a tracking number or any other notification to let me know what was going on with my order. The ad said 2 day free of charge shipping through UPS, but I'm obtaining a little frustrated here. Could of at least let me know if it was at least packaged. That would of been adequate to preserve my thoughts at ease. I'm not asking for miracles, just a notification, anything, please. Thank you. It would be nice to have a 24 hour client service accessible. Can an individual please let me know what's going on. I'm starting to think I paid for nothing at all.

For only 150$ this card is phnominal. In a position to play any game out right now. (see other thoughts) This card was also easily overclocked with my existing mother borad. None... I am in a position to play mafia II Max graphics @ average 60 FPS. and Crysis two at Average 59 FPS (not really 60 lol) . 8 GBs RAM, three. Anthlon 2 Quad core, GTX 550 (this card) Asrock Motherboard Auto Overclock + Voltage.

If you only play games once in awhile this is a great card and gives good value when on sale. If gaming is your thing consider a more powerful card.

Maybe not ideal for those wishing to play a lot. But on occasion. Buy for a friend who does not play, but wanted to still have an interesting video card without putting top dollar. It works well so far.

Bought this to use in my HTPC system with some gaming from time to time too. Got a free $60 batman game so the card is a helluva deal at that price. Works much better over HDMI then my previous ATI card too (which had issues with underscan/overscan)

I'm loving this card and as the previous poster stated different fan/shroud than pictured. I'm getting low 30's at idle and high 40's maxed out so I'd say this is an excellent cooling solution they've come up with. One last thing is that it also overclocks very well with MSI's AfterBurner OC tool. I highly recommend this card.

1 . There is no plastic shroud around the card, here is a link to see how the card looks like : (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-DWbqV5TpON4/TxIaxLAFryI/AAAAAAAAAAo/T3tQgUt-ABM/s640/pnywrongheatsink.jpg)I recommend XFX Radeon HD6870, for a little $ you get a lot better card.

cheap and affordable for the price on sale. But if your a really hardcore gamer that plays BF3 or any intense graphics game, this card just wouldn't do the job as well. It is great for a budget but for a serious gamer go with the 560+ cards.

I bought this during the suprise sale at 109,99$ , GREAT DEAL !Runs all games on Ultra High & quiet fan.It gets a tiny bit hot though.

Good Graphic card, sadly didn`t buy from NCIX but in stores and bestbuy, got rip off of course but neither less, its amazing card. Plays starcraft 2 on high settings but the cards get hot a tiny bit .
