Overclocking
The GTX 550 Ti was created by nVidia with a lot of overclocking headroom, with nVidia claiming they could be clocked to 1GHz. The GIGABYTE version is already clocked at 970MHz but I decided I would try to take it a little further.

To find the maximum overclock, we used MSI Afterburner to increase the clock speeds by 10MHz at a time, whilst relying on GPU-Z for clarification of the speeds and Furmark to test stability.

The results that we obtain can only be used as a guideline as to what this range of cards can do. Obviously every card has a different core among other vital parts, and therefore each card will give slightly varied results.

I pushed the GPU core to a nice 1,070MHz and the memory to 1200MHz (4800MHz) leaving the voltage at stock. Although this overclock did not change it’s placement in any of the benchmarks we tried, it gave a nice FPS boost and proved that both the cooler and the GPU can be pushed further.
