I would also recommend using a power supply that slightly exceeds the minimum required for this card to operate(Minimum is 500, I recommend 550 or higher,) in the event that you wish to upgrade or add additional hardware in the future.

I can say that the card is bulkier to previous graphics cards, so I would recommend avoiding to attempt to install this unit into a small computer chassis, or into PCs where the memory slots are relatively close tot he PCI-E expansion slot. The software's functionality has expanded to permit on-the-fly performance tweaking(Such as overclocking and underclocking) and allows you to make graphical restrictions outside of game environments, which enables users to adjust the way games appear, even if the games themselves don't provide those options.Īs someone who constantly assembles PCs for high performance artists and gamers, I cannot speak to how easy this will be for the average user to install. I anticipate that this card, if it is not one of those included among the batches with the poor VBIOs, could run Bethesda's Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and Blizzard's upcoming Diablo 3 near flawlessly.Įxperts and semi-pros will appreciate ATI's Catalyst control tools, which is enabled on all ATI video cards. The only way to repair cards experiencing this problem(The Vbios issue) is to perform a BIOS flash on the card, which could brick(or break, for those not familiar with the slang) the unit.Ī fully functioning, properly bios'ed card from the manufacturer is actually quite powerful, capable of running modern games(and 3D Rendering/Animation software) at peak performance at their highest settings. Unfortunately, the problem has carried over into this card, and XFX(The manufacturer of this particular card) has extremely limited support, despite its "double" lifetime warranty. The core of the problem was in its VBIOS(Video Basic Input/Output System), which caused BSOD(Blue Screen of Death) issues with a large number of PCs (Especially those equipped with Asus motherboards, though I've reproduced it on Gigabyte boards as well.) This particular product, for those of you who don't know its background, was riddled with issues during its predecessor's lifetime. This card is one of my most unfortunate purchases.

Speed is fenomenal, the images in games are incrdible, they look so real that for a moment I tough they where a real film, even my system boots faster, the colors are much more vivid, it rank up my system rating at 7.6 from 4.1 before with ATI HD 4350 which this one replace I only have one issue I follow the instructions and Windows 7/64 bit installed a generic video driver and the resolution was stuck on 640 and couldn't fit window instalation so I was unable to click next to install the driver it was pass the Task bar, so I went to device manager downloded and update from Microsoft update, my resolution when normal, then I installed the drivers from the CD and proceed to install the update from the oficial XFX site, so no problem with the card or CD driver, rather the Window 7 basic preloaded or drivers.super great for games and video edition, blu ray movies runs smooth with amazing clarity and older movies came back to life, I'm really impress, didn't tough will make so much diference. The graphic capability of the 550ti was about 13% lower in frame rates in some modes. I am actually classifying this card as superior to the Geforce GTX 550ti due to its over heating Power and consumption other wise i would call them identical in capabilities.With a difference. Meaning anything running 60FPS looks quire realistic.Īfter Running more games i found the card was not generating a lot of heat,it had caused no black screen,did not short out my power supply which was 350watts and gave me a great quality picture at 1900x1080 at 1080p.I had not issues with mouse control or lag or frame rate loss.There was no problems.

I used this card and ran the Sims 3 which is far more graphically intense than most games.I was getting 58-65Fps.It was so quiet you could not tell your PC was on! When checking the amount of speed for reaction time it was REALISTIC in performance.

You will get full performance from this card.They stack on top of each other. But i had one.Install this driver then go to the AMD website and then install there driver. OK i tested this card out and i have to say this is far more superior than everyone makes it out to be.I have checked multiple cards and this one uses FAR LESS power.If you did not have a 350 watt power you would not know.
