GTX550 Ti Spotted at Retail Store (Hong Kong)

Probably GTX 460 768MB may be even SE will be EOL.
So GTX 550Ti would have the rol to fill their place in the gap between GTS 450 and GTX 460 1GB.
From the specification i think that this card would be 10-12% slower than GTX 460 768MB.
But i think that it would have a price about 129-139$(not to forget that this was the original MRSP price to GTS 450) so at the middle between GTS 450 and GTX 460 1GB(after GTX 460 768MB is EOL)
For Nvidia and for some users it's a much better product.
For Nvidia it's much cheaper product to do than GTX 460 768MB,33% less die size, cheaper pcb, cooler.
So Nvidia will do much money with this card than with GTX 460 768MB if it sells well.
For some consumers, the card consumes less power, will work even on some chepear PSU's, and it's very good even for OEM sistems.
Anyway with this card Nvidia is equaling Amd highest gpu frecuency, it has same gpu frecuency as 6870.
So the yelds on Fermi are now better and better.
I hope that they learn a hard lesson on 40nm and on 28nm they will know what to do from the begining.
