NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB Review Comment Thread

Heh.... we hear the same comments on almost every budget gaming card that comes out.....

Like it or not folks, price point is probably the biggest driver of vid card sales for non-geeks, both for custom and big box builds. If you need any proof of that.... have a look at how many Nvidia 240s are out in the market.

What's the point of 550 when 460 is better and cheaper? Seems silly.

Any idea if the MSI Cyclone can be run in SLI? the way that cooler looks seems pretty impossible for a SLI bridge to overcome the cooler's fins where the heatpipes are. Now that I am getting one I am asking. Worst case scenario couple with a different model from MSI or a different producer?

[Arinoth]

I would assume one of the flexible SLI bridges should be able to do it as it isn't as rigid as the standard ones are.

The heatsink doesn't overlap the SLI connector so you should be good to go.

Also, when performing reviews for graphics card, how about investigating their folding performance so we can have some more info on the hands.

[SKYMTL]

I usually do but in this case I received the samples too late to get enough folding done for accurate results.
