well now I've got the GTX 560 TI tuned
into its overclock this is the Cyclone 2 model I am not using the reference
cooler for my overclocking testing and I am not quite able to break a 15,000 3D
Mark score in Vantage by like 63 points
which is really a shame but uh there you
have it the final clocks that I ended up with are
1.07 8
gigz which if I could get it to focus you would be able to see come on darken
a little bit or brighten a little bit whatever okay there look at that and
then look at that quick can you see it whatever okay and then on the memory I
was able to get around 2.2 GHz not uh not too too much of an overclock on the
memory itself so thank you for checking out this
little overclocking Adventure on the GTX
550 TI don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and
other computer videos well I don't have a version of afterburner yet that
supports over volting on the GTX 550 but
2.1.0 does support at least changing the clock speeds so here's my default clocks
on the MSI Cyclone 2 version of the GTX
550 and uh you can see here that uh I've
already run my stock clock Benchmark so
I was able to achieve 13 just over 13,000 3D Mark scores in the performance
mode of 3D Mark Vantage so what I'm going to do is I'm going to tune this
card into whatever clock I can or whatever clocks I can get out of it and
see what kind of a performance Improvement we can get by overclocking
this particular video card I'm not going to be having a look at the reference
card but something to remember is that the reference card starts 50 MHz lower
than this particular overclocked card so it may have more overclocking head room
based on that it starts lower in terms of she how many mehz you can turn it up
but it probably won't be able to get as high with the cooler that's not as good
as well as with the absence of the heat
sink on the vrm
