Observers of the graphics card market will be aware that AMD has a faster time to market product with its Radeon HD 6990 . To achieve this result, AMD had to install two chips on the PCB, thus generating considerable noise and temperature even higher, but he did anyway, and with a significant difference on competing cards. However, the competition between AMD and Nvidia is constant. No shortage of occasions which runs directly counter products, but there are cases where, when AMD has a card in a given price range, Nvidia responds differently in another range and vice versa. In preparation for what will be the feast of the titanic GTX 590, Nvidia offers an entry with the GeForce GTX 550 Ti.
Although manufacturers have been diligent in implementing designs special about the new chip, simply by reading the specification is easy to determine which product is placed well below the GTX 560 Ti. The Ti GeForce GTX 550 has 192 shader processors, half that of the top model. To partly compensate for the deletion, this model has a clock speed of 900 Mhz in the core, the shaders 1800 Mhz, and 4104 MHz effective memory of 1 GB GDD5. The transistor count remains the same compared to the GTX 450, totaling 1.17 billion, but a more efficient design allows Nvidia to incur a mere ten watts TDP than the GTX 450, while offering superior performance . As regards performance, the GeForce GTX 550
Ti is located almost at the same level as the Radeon HD 5770, even defeating in several tests, confirming a direct nailed in the pool of "mid-end." Currently, the AMD card is available on the market with a value of around 100 €. The GeForce GTX 550 Ti has been made for an estimated price of $ 150 (107 €), but expect some downward adjustments, depending on what details you add each manufacturer, for example, the default overclocking. So far, it is not the most impressive presentation Nvidia has done so far, but that give consumers more options is always positive. The market dominance is advocated in all price ranges, but if you're only interested in real reactors Nvidia, you just have to wait a couple of days.
