Gigabyte GeForce GTX 550 Ti

Today we are checking out the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 550 Ti, which has been designed from the ground up featuring a custom PCB, upgraded cooling setup, and overclocked core and memory frequencies. Despite the numerous improvements that Gigabyte has been able to make, they have also managed to hit the MSRP right on target...

While we are not entirely convinced that the GeForce GTX 550 Ti is a worthy contender at $149 US, Gigabyte certainly has done a lot to improve its value. When compared to the Radeon HD 6850 which was consistently much faster, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti costs just 15% less despite being around 30% slower most of the time.

The news gets worse for the GTX550Ti...the new $149 6790 spanks its noodle good. NVidia is going to have to really drop the price on these to get them to sell.

There are rumors of a slower GTX560Ti with specs close to that of a GTX460 except for higher clock speeds. Perhaps called the GTX560SE? Supposed to have 336 cores and clocks around 800 MHz.
