Sapphire HD5550
Overclock Edition
A few days ago we looked at the HD5670 Ultimate
card from Sapphire. Today we will be following that review up
with its little brother, the HD5550 overclock edition. This card has
320 Stream Processors and
512GB of the latest DDR5 memory. It has clock speeds of
650MHz core and 1000MHz (4GHz effective) for the memory. This
is up from the typical 550MHz core. The card sports a heatsink
and fan combo from Artic cooling to keep it cool and silent. Let's check it out to see how
well it performs.
