My entire rig is more or less sorted, been doing a bit of gaming, mainly Skyrim and a few older games. Now, I can run Skyrim at Ultra with a fair few of the advanced options on high at a decent framerate. Lowest I've seen it hit is 45.

The card I have is the eVGA GTX 550 Ti, I've got the eVGA "precision" software working but I don't really know much about overclocking to the point where I'd feel safe doing it for the card.

That's the stock speeds, as far as I know. I've been googling about it but I haven't found too much about what it can realistically get to and still be stable. Anyone here got first hand experience with it?
 
GPU clock: 1000MHz - Memory clock: 2100MHz - Shader clock: 2000MHz - GPU voltage: 1.000V

Do you think this would be ok? Ive done abit of stress testing etc and everything is fine so far - I'm not sure realisticly how much more I could possibly push it? anyone with any other idea's?

what is considered a good overclock with these cards? id like to try and push it more but I dont know if its worth it.
 
Try running heaven at this point and make sure it doesn't crash. My 580 clocks to insane levels at just 1volt and passes with EVGA Precision tool but it doesn't pass those clocks in Heaven or WoW without crashing.

This is because Furmark, Kombustor, the EVGA stress test thingie are all no good for DX11 card testing.
 
I've been trying to read abit more about it myself, for instance I can push the card pretty high but I get slight artifacting on heaven but it doesnt crash? Would that just be a case of lowering Memory clock?
