Pfft. I just purchased a "hd 7470" low profile card off gumtree for $10.

Sometimes things just work.

[@hrq007]

My GTX 550Ti died at the end of last year after many good years in use. Bought it at launch back when I had a Core 2 Duo and it even met my current i5. Played a lot of GTA V with that thing. What a great GPU. This month I finally bought an RTX2060, after almost a year without a GPU. Finally running The Witcher 3 on ultra settings. Just had to downgrade the Hairworks AA to level 4. Still, solid 60fps everywhere and every other setting is on max. I was going to get a GTX 1660 Super, but the RTX2060 (an Asus TUF Gaming) appeared on sale for pretty much the same price. Enjoying it very much so far.

[@TJ04]

I still HAVE a card with the exact same cooler as that. No idea what it was advertised as in the first place, but it's a GT 440 (was flashed with it's original bios by the seller). I got it by exchanging my GT 210 with it from some shady guy on FB. but that card lasted me quite a few years until I finally upgraded to modern parts. It's dead now. It served me better than intel integrated graphics.

[@rushnerd]

All of these flashed fake cards are the same. They use so little power they can get away with putting any bottom of the barrel heatsink on it and there is usually a VGA port. 550Ti is about as bottom of the barrel as it gets for GTX cards, though ironically I had a 560Ti before and that was wonderful at the time.

Even if you are standing still, the graphics card is still refreshing the screen at the FPS shown by MSI Afterburner. Which is why, when using Heaven benchmark it is better to go into user mode and find where the highest FPS place. From there you can test temperature or adjust overclocking.

[@jonchapman6821]

The telltale sign of a yellow nvidia logo and that familiar shroud...guaranteed this is fake (I had one recently from CEX) I’m guessing, considering the price (and just how many of them are out there) that it’s a fake 750 ti...which is almost certainly a flashed 550

[@Fovane]

It is the best graphics card for its price and the best option for budget PC builds. In addition, it's not exactly capable of 1080p gaming as we can see in the video, but we can assume it's good for 720p gaming.

[@QWERTYCommander]

Wow, my first graphics card was the 550ti and I'm glad to see it make an appearance on here, as roundabout as it was lol

Restoring the original bios on these fake video cards can pretty much fix all issues concerning wrong driver installation or incorrect VRAM amount (which can cause crashes on itself) Even though the 550 Ti is power wise pretty limited nowadays lol

I wish you'd show more of the games that the card might actually nail, in these ones where its clear the card won't handle anything heavier than Skyrim SE at a playable frame-rate. Some examples for this one might have been stuff like CSGO, Valorant even.. they're still popular so they wouldn't make the vid boring to people who don't like obscure stuff.. I just love the benchmarks, and seeing a card fail completely for over half the video is pointless, whereas seeing stuff it might be good for is fun to me.

[@eurocrusader1724]

For 9 dollar? Its ideal as a reserve card if you need to test a system you are diagnosing or building. Or if your GPU breaks down and you need a GPU for basic stuff until your new card arrives..
