Like the other two Titanium Gainward we got a chance to look at in this roundup, the Gainward GeForce3 Powerpack !!! Ti/550 Golden Sample looks aggressive. The circular heatsink/fan cooling unit was attached to the core of the card via thermal grease and was able to keep the card temperature down to 127 degrees Fahrenheit; the coolest of all cards tested. When overclocking we were more than impressed with the speed we were able to get the card to. The Gainward GeForce3 Powerpack !!! Ti/550 Golden Sample was able to overclock to 265/595MHz, making it one of the better overclockers in our test.

The Gainward GeForce3 Powerpack !!! Ti/550 Golden Sample gains DVI-out in addition to the TV-out that was present on the GeForce3 Ti 200 version of the card.
