Graphics Card Reviews

A mid-range second generation Fermi card, is the GeForce GTX 550 Ti as good as the bigger cards in the range? At £120 it has a lot to prove in the face of the stiff competition at this price level. In the absence of a reference GeForce GTX 550 Ti, we can't really comment on noise and heat levels. All the manufacturers use their own more or less noisy cooling systems (see inset). In any case, power consumption is more or less equivalent to that on the next model up, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, drawing 93 watts at idle and 317 watts in 3D load. This is a bit disappointing, especially as the Radeon HD 6850 does a good deal better in load, drawing just 252 watts. Note: these values are for the configuration as a whole and not the graphics card alone. The GTX 550 disappointed us in video games where the level of performance doesn't stand up to that of its direct competitor, the Radeon HD 6850 (9% advantage to the Radeon). On a high (1920 x 1200 pixels) or medium (1680 x 1050 pixels) definition screen, things are pretty much the same, namely an average performance lower than the older generation GeForce GTX 460. This is especially problematic as at this level of performance as the standard arguments in favour of NVIDIA cards no longer stand up.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti Review

Since NVIDIA first launched its GeForce GTX 500 series in November, the company has kept quite close to a schedule of one new card per month, with the most recent being this one, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti - a budget offering. Up to this point, we've seen four GTX 500 cards launched across a good set of price ranges: $130, $250, $350 and $500. There are still some gaps, though, so it can be assumed that as per the norm, NVIDIA will release in-betweens over the course of the year. As the numbering scheme implies, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti is the lowest-end model of the GTX 500 series released thus far, and despite its "GTX" moniker, it is indeed a budget / low-end mainstream model. NVIDIA's first goal with the card is to deliver great gameplay experiences to gamers using a resolution of 1680x1050 or less, and secondary on the list, the company wants to beat out AMD's Radeon HD 5770 - a card of the same price-range. Mentioned in one of our news posts last week, NVIDIA puts the GTX 550 Ti in the "Sniper" category of its gamer-esque naming scheme. It's meant to be lightweight, but still pack a punch, and I guess if you want to take things literally, it could also refer to the card being silent, just as a sniper would be when hiding in the bushes.
