I'm disappointed in the 550. I expected it to be between a 460 and 560 in terms of performance yet it's slightly better than a 450. The price for what it is, is overpriced and you can get a 6850 for £10 more which is much better. The card has no direct competition with other cards and the price makes it pointless considering you can get a much better card for a few pennies more. What is the point Nvidia?

I currently have an HD 4890. I'm slowly saving for my high-end rig, but you think I should consider a 550 as a replacement, for the time being?

You can get a 460 or a 6850 for a little bit more LINK. I doubt you would notice much difference between a 490 and a 550 performance wise. The 490 outperforms a 5770 and the 550 is not much better than a 5770 the only things you would benefit from is less noise, less heat, lower power consumption and DX11 and the DX11 performance from the 550 isn't good.

Less noise sounds good to me. If it's an improvement over my ATI/AMD card, I think I'll flip a coin later and decide.
