Evga gtx 550 ti FPB info

[wjamie23]

hello, i have just received my gtx 550 ti today and i have noticed that at full load the memory only runs at 2178mhz as i have looked at the specs the card should be running at 4356mhz.

in nvidia's control panel is says:

graphics clock=951

processor clock=1903

memory data rate=4356

full load in oc scanner and precision it only runs half of what it is or am i reading the specs wrong

thanks

the card use only what it need , it doesnt has to use all its power while playing a game or something , for example: my card in some games load 40% only and in some other games full load to 98% , the usage of the card depends on what u play , what u need to worry about is if the card cant run games well , or it get low fps ....etc

thanks

66 fps very good
try something harder , like Battlefield 3 on ultra , or farcry3 on ultra
u will get fps 30 or higher i think
