- For $130 this little guy can perform. Battlefield 3 is maxxed out with the combination of my i5-2400. On top of this, the load temps are low, usually around 65C.A great card to recommend to anybody on a budget.
- Nice video card and upgraded from GTX260. I needed the CUDA 2.0 or higher to take advantage of my GPU for editing and rendering video in Sony Vegas Pro. I had to transcode M2TS to .MOV and it took Vegas Pro 9, (which has little GPU support) over 6 minutes to transcode a 250Mb clip, where as the GTX550 took just under 2 minutes, (1:54 to be exact) in Vegas 11 to do the same clip. That's over a 300% improvement in speed! For 134 bucks and a $20 mail in rebate you cannot beat this upgrade unless you spend waaaayyy more $$$$$!I7 Core 930 2.8Ghz, Win 7 Pro 64bit, 6Gb ram, 2 1.5Tb 7200rpm Seagate Barracuda's
