We tested the cards with the default Performance settings.
While the performance in 3DMark 2011 scales nicely with clock speed, given that the GTX550 we received will go on sale at almost exactly the same price as the GTX460, it's going to be tough. Remember that the GTX460 itself can be a good overclocking card.
The £115 card seems like a good buy for the money. the other ones at 150 quid are just stupid.
Shortest Kitguru video card review yet. Zardon taking a break ?
Not sure im sold on these cards, the 460 seems better all round, still. even if its a few quid more.
most pointless nvidia release, evar.
Their pricing is wrong, the lower end model is good value, would like to see overclocking etc and power consumption results. very limited review.
I read a lot of reviews about this card, and while its the price I normally buy into, the card hasn’t got me excited at all. Im holding onto my 450 until the next generation.
Nice to see the slower version tested, thats quite a price difference
At 145 its a waste of money, but at 115 its viable. thats such a huge price difference, seems way out. at 115 its more competitive.
