With an unbeatable price/performance ratio, this card is part of a new generation of graphics card based on the latest NVIDIA FERMI technology.

The PNY GeForce GTX 550 Ti XLR8 OC benefits from the flexibility of the GTX 550 Ti's GPU but with an enhanced performance. It's the perfect mid-range graphics card for all user profiles, from casual gamer to multimedia enthusiast.
