MSI GTX550 Ti Cyclone OC Video Card Review

Author: Will West

Unreal Tournament 3 is a game set sometime in the future that is all about killing. There's no real storyline or singleplayer mode. What UT3 lacks in story, it makes up for in an all-around great gaming experience. The multiplayer is second to none and happens to be a great LAN Party game.

For benchmarking, all graphics settings were turned up to the highest setting. V-Sync and SmoothFrames was disabled to get the maximum gaming frames per second. Post-processing was turned up to intense for a super awesome gaming experience. The level used for the benchmarks is CarbonFire which is loaded with fun loving bots with great one liner comments.

MSI gave the GTX550-Ti Cyclone a good performance boost from its factory settings.  However the performance boost at the target resolution shows what you can get from a good overclock.
