Hello, I was curious if a superclocked gtx 660 ti will be ok for my Lenovo Ideacentre K330B 7747 PC. Not too sure what superclocked means or if I really need it but I have been trying to order this for a while now. I have had two failed attempts at getting the gtx 660 ti through the mail so I'm going for a third try. The one I was getting is sold out and now I was going to get the gtx 660 ti superclocked for the same price. Is it worth it?
At the moment I have an intel core i5 2500 3.3 GHz processor and a 450 watt PSU.

Super clocked usually means it's clocked faster that the same cards of that type. So it would be a faster 660 Ti. It's still a 660 Ti though, so don't get the wrong idea about it's capabilities. It would serve as a budget gaming card.

edit: Ultra/high settings would depend on the game. This card won't have the power to do that in any and all games, unless you're okay with low framerate. 2gb vram right? Some games will not let you even select higher settings with only 2gb vram.

The GTX 660 Ti was a decent card... in its day. A bit slow by today's standards. About the performance of $100 cards today. Your old i5-2500 is still able to handle much faster cards than either of those w/o worry of bottleneck. What PSU do you have?

the PSU I have now is a 450 watt evga bronze.
Also r u saying the superclocked would be fine for my PC. I'm hoping for high-ultra graphics settings.
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. :)
