Product Overview

ASUS is proud to introduce the ASUS GTX 550 Ti. The card boasts Super Alloy Power which can create a 15% performance increase, 2.5 longer product life span and a 35°C cooler operation. Super Alloy Power is a special blend of elements formed using an ASUS exclusive formula, under extreme pressure and temperatures. The metals are highly-magnetic, heat-resistant and anti-corrosive used to reduce power loss, enhance durability and achieve cooler operation. Super Hybrid Engine is an intelligent power consumption optimizer that switches between high- and low-intensity power profiles in real-time. This in turn can provide up to 15% improved performance. With exclusive Voltage Tweak technology also being a key feature of this product, the GTX ENGTX550 TI/DI/1GD5 covers users for every possible over-clocking and over-volting scenario. With the complete package offered by this card users can easily boost their performance by up to 50%!

ASUS Exclusive Features

Super Alloy Power The new and exclusive Super Alloy Power technology on ASUS graphics cards uses a special alloy formula which is highly-magnetic, heat-resistant and anti-corrosive. It delivers a more stable and quieter operation compared to the reference design – a welcome bonus sought after by performance seekers. During overclocking, the Super Hybrid Engine acts as an intelligent controller to switch between high and low intensity power profiles in real time for 15% performance boost. Super Alloy Capacitor increases the card’s lifespan to 150,000 hours which is 2.5 times longer than traditional capacitors. Super Alloy components are reinforced with special alloy formula and manufactured under high temperature and pressure to deliver stable and noise-free operation.
