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.

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.

If your frames are maxing out even when vsync is off you might want to go to your nvidia control panel and turn vsync off in the 3D settings

[@twizz420]

On AMD, there's Enhanced Sync (I think thats what it's called) and that lets you get above your monitor's framerate in Fallout. I think it will make new Vegas and FO4 run faster than normal though since they're supposed to be locked at 60fps.

I actually owned one of these a few months back, I knew it was fake but the price is great enough for me. Most games I play isnt really demanding so the fps is quite ok.

May not be the best, but it’s hard to beat for that price. You can’t be picky when you’re paying less than $10 for your card

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.

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.

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.
