Some people who can't afford the latest and expensive high-end models are contented in dealing with the mainstream products.

The Nvidia GTX 550 Ti has a well rounded number of stream processors amounting to 192, that's 50% lesser than the GTX 560 Ti. But despite this, the GTX 550 Ti runs at a higher core clock speed of 900 MHz and 1800 MHz in shader clock. This component runs at 1GB memory with an interface of 192-bit at DDR5. Moreover, the Geforce GTX 550 Ti has a DVI and a mini HDMI connector.

We already know that these companies have established a stable market here in our homeland, let's hope they will speed things up and get this Video Card in the stores faster.
