The performance difference means the GTX 550 TI will be inadequate to run games in the future a lot sooner than the 6870 will. In this lower end of the mid-range market, the MSI R6870 Hawk is a better purchase and our advice is to try and make your budget stretch for one of those cards rather than a GTX 550 TI.

The GeForce GTX 550 Ti’s performance fell right in-line with expectations. Throughout our battery of tests, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, whether running at reference frequencies or overclocked from the factory like our ZOTAC, Asus, and MSI cards, clearly outpaced the GeForce GTS 450. The GeForce GTX 550 Ti could not keep pace with the GeForce GTX 460, however. The performance of all of the GTX 550 Ti cards we tested also scaled as expected.

In the end the GTX 550 Ti just isn’t a compelling product at $149. At that price you’re much better served by ponying up the extra $10 to pick up a 6850 for much better performance – and if the Zotac GTX 550 Ti AMP is similar to other GTX 550 Ti cards – lower power consumption and less noise. Alternatively the GTX 460 768MB is an absolute steal while it’s still available.

On the whole, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti is a decent refresh of the older GeForce GTS 450. It offers improved performance, but sadly not much else. Also, there’s now a really huge gulf between it and the next card in NVIDIA’s new GTX 500 line-up, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti - so it will be interesting to see what NVIDIA comes up with next.

Ultimately, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti is a tough product to recommend. Were it offered as a replacement to the GeForce GTS 450 at $129, it'd be a no-brainer for cash-strapped gamers. Who knows—perhaps future price cuts will take it there. Right now, however, those users would be better off setting aside an extra sawbuck or two and moving up the food chain.TR

The bottom line is that Nvidia needed a Radeon HD 5770 alternative, and the GeForce GTX 550 Ti is just that. The MSRP of the new card is $149, but real-world prices will fluctuate both above and below this number (for example the MSRP of the GeForce GTS 450 is $129, yet the card can be found online for as low as $110). Launch pricing is always high, but the point is if the GeForce GTX 550 Ti sticker settles close to the Radeon HD 5770, it’s a good buy. If it’s priced closer to the GeForce GTX 460 768 MB, it’s going to have a tough time—at least until the powerful card is gone from the store shelves.

Over the last few months, NVIDIA’s revised Fermi architecture has been met with rightfully glowing praise so expectations were high for the latest member of the 500-series family. The GTX 550 Ti does boast some forward thinking technology in the form of mixed memory allotments running alongside some high clock speeds but there are numerous challenges it still has to overcome.
