GTX 550TI Card Comparison

[Brown]

Hello, I was wondering if someone could tell me which graphics card is better. Here's the two cards:

Gigabyte 550TI: http://www.tigerdire...6400&CatId=3669

Galaxy 550TI: http://www.tigerdire...8600&CatId=3669 (If you guys need Newegg links or whatever please ask, Thanks

)

Or any other $130-ish (Canadian dollars) card.

I really like the Gigabyte since it has dual fans and is a little better I think but I still want more of a experts input. Thanks

Performance wise there would be next to no difference, for $130 you can get an HD 7770 which is quite a bit better than the 550ti

There you go - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131460

gigabyte, better cooler, brand and custom pcb

galaxy, cheap brand, casual cooler, short pcb which look ugly

For that price way don´t you buy the old GTX 460!? it´s much better than the 550ti and the 7770!

They use quite a bit more power and are not much cheaper, imo you would be much better off with either an HD 7770 or saving up for either a GTX 570 or a HD 7850/70

IMHO i would save up for a gtx570

Damn guys I didn't think these many people would reply. Thanks for the help I think i'm going with Seumasbeathan's and Duluxdoggy's choice but with the MSI OC HD 7770

save the dollars.. the gtx570 will be way less expensive and as well on the used side.

used cards are fighting to get $170 and for featured cards maybe $225.
