The Radeon X550 was introduced with little fanfare by ATI in June as a better performing X300. It has the same core, the RV370 as the Radeon X300 but comes with a higher core clock speed of 400MHz compared to 325MHz for the X300. However, the number of pipelines remains the same at four pixel pipes and a pair of vertex engines. The boost in clock speed, together with its attractively low price makes the Radeon X550 a potent competitor to NVIDIA's GeForce 6200 cards. Now, what if we push the Radeon X550 even further? That is the question GeCube asked with its GC-RX550GU2-D3, an overclocked Radeon X550 256MB card that HardwareZone is reviewing today.
