Packaging and Bundle
Packaging
The card arrived to me with no retail packaging, although GIGABYTE supplied a picture of the packaging- This is what you would have won!:
The packaging has a great design as we have come to expect from GIGABYTE, however it’s what’s inside that counts.

Hi i am about to buy this graphic card so i wanted to know does this card can support games like Cysis 2 or Batlefield 3 please help . I will only buy her if she can supprt thay kinda of games .
Thanks ! 🙂
Hi LabRat. I've got this card and I'm having a lot of problems with bf3 but that could be other issues with my set up to. Other than that great card, it will run fallout new vegas and fallout 3 in high to ultra settings.
I got the Overclocked version as in the testing here. And i play BF3 on medium settings with 40-50fps on a Intel core 2 duo. Crysis2 i havent tryed doh but BF3 in medium = No problem.
i can run bf3 maxed on this card as well as metro 2033 etc
my pc specs are : mobo gigabyte z68x ud7, cpu i5 2500k oc 4.2ghz, psu cm silent pro m2 1000w, 8 gb ram ,seagate barracuda 1tb 7200rpm and gigabyte gtx 550ti oc.
the only problem i have on metro/bf3/cry2 is you can play it maxed at about 35- 60 fps ,but when you enable advanced DOF (depth of field) it will kill your fps it will bring it down to bout 10-12 fps
I was thinking about picking up this card to replace my existing video card (8800GTS 640MB) and I was wondering about compatibility with the PCIe 1.0a slot on my motherboard (evga nforce 590 sli – the “latest” bios is from mid 2007). I found a lot of comments reporting problems with the HD5770 on the older motherboard but so far I can find nothing about the 550Ti. I know that it “should” be backwards compatible, but does it work that way in reality for this card?
Thank you!
i just bought a gigiabyte gts 550 ti oc edition 1gb.. was previously running a 9800 gt.. for starters the core speed is nearly doubled and the mem clock had x5 the grunt… massive bang for buck imo
Gigabyte gpu product is excelent.I have o.c my GV-N550WF2-1Gi to 1000/2000/2553 1.125V Without anyproblem steady on 72C max with latest nvidia driver.The limitation on Core Clock at 999Mhz by nvidia.Hope nvidia can release new driver that can make room for oc on core clock like the older driver 280.** that dont have limitation on core and shader clock.
I can reach up to 1090 Core clock with older driver at 1.137V 76C max temp with OCCT test 15minutes without any error.
