Oc'ing my 550gtx-ti

post #1 of 6

Thread Starter 
Been messing around OC'ing my card after getting a 1080p monitor. card is the MSI n550gtx-ti Cyclone OC.

have a couple of questions. some games have a limit of 30fps and some don't. referring to dx11 ie. Batman/LaNoire. not really sure if my Unigine score is decent or just complete garbage. CPU is overclocked to 3.5(cause of being locked) running 8GB cas-9 1600mhz mushkin enhanced radioactive.
should I try to push further? have great cooling in the case and the card never even breaks 60c at full load.
