shenruifa GeForce GTX 550 Ti 8GB GDDR5
An unusually large 8GB GDDR5 frame buffer on a legacy 40nm Fermi GF116 core sets this card apart, though its 192 stream processors and 800MHz clock deliver only 27.6 FP32 TFLOPS of compute. The dual-fan cooler and VGA, DVI, and HDMI outputs provide basic connectivity and cooling for multi-display setups in a low 90W power envelope. This card is best for users running non-gaming multi-account or game-hanging workstation tasks that require abundant VRAM but minimal 3D performance.
