Ya, again GTS 550 is a failure from nVidia...at least what I think. Checked the performance review in guru3d and TomsHardware....it is just a HD 5770 in terms of performance. Obviously some Oced model from MSI and Zotac offer a little extra performance gain...but that can be gained by Oceing a HD 5770 also. And with the reduced price point ($125 to $135) of HD 5770, it is very tough for GTS 550.
I am pretty disappointed by seeing that it can't even beat a 2 years old AMD cards with all its advanced technology...Fermy to GF104 to GF110 to GF116...just change of nomenclature, no advantage in performance. The test sites don't even bother to test it with HD 6850. It cannot beat the old GTX 460 768 MB also and the performance margin for GTX 460 768 MB is quite high.
nVidia is doing the same mistake again what they have done with their 98XX series and GTS 2XX series.
At least we were expecting something to at least compete with HD 6850, not a HD 5770 counterpart.

Only Strong point GTX550 has is it's strong Tessellation in HAWX2 and great driver software.
Lowest Price for :
GTX 460 768MB ( MSI N460GTX Twin Frozr II SOC ) is $ 150
GTX 550 Oced ( from gigabyte ) ( and stock fro PNY ) is $150
HD5770 is $ 119 ( From powercolor )
Nvidia should really reassess the price of GTX550 and reduce it even lower than HD5770 and that will create a strong selling point for this

i dont understand. what is the point of this card? they should have just renamed gtx460 if they wanted. this card = waste. gtx460 is better.

hd 5670, gts 450, hd 5770, gtx 460, hd 6850, gtx 560/hd 6950. onky these cards are worth.

looking at the power consumption...i still dont think this card is worth it.Nvidia should really reassess the price of GTX550 and reduce it even lower than HD5770 and that will create a strong selling point for this
hd 5670, gts 450, hd 5770, gtx 460, hd 6850, gtx 560/hd 6950. onky these cards are worth.

i agree withe Joker
I agree with all of you and HD6850 seems to be a better deal anyway ( power consumption and performance wise )
and there's no way after a card release to say that this was meant to compete with a 2 year old card - if you release something new be prepared to compete with new gfx cards and the funny thing is even GTX 460 768MB is better than that.
I think this time tom's reviews are biased and they are claiming that a stock clocked GTX550 will consume 80W!! and they are saying HD5770 will consume more power than a stock GTX550 which is not possible in any way IMO - looks like techpowerup measurement about the power consumption is the one we should count on anyway.
But if they can bring the price down to 6k here then it will be the perfect price for it but rumors are it's going to be around 8.5-9.5k anyway so HD6850/GTX460 is the way to go and AMD may also introduce something like HD6770, anyone ?

Why the Price is waste? Ain't 9k a good pricing? 1800 MHz Shader Clock, 900 MHz Core Clock...looks good to me
No buddy, its really a waste. At this price, your in 6850 and gtx 460 territory which will decimate this card. It should have been priced lower than 5770.
In other words, its an improved gts 450 and would have been a great deal if priced between 6-7k.
I don't think so...
Check prices of Zotac and Sapphire cards on this site and they are better than most of the online sites...most of the time...For other brands I am not sure though...
