GTX470 VS GTX550 TI

[snowcrush]

Hey, i currently got a GTX470, and i'm gonna buy a GTX550 TI for my sister, now, i got an option to take the 550 for myself and give her the 470, PSU And other components are not a problem (both have good cpu's).


So... Which should i take? 470 Or 550?

550 for yourself. What are you planning to use the gpu for?

 

[snowcrush]

Heavy gaming, stuff like that.

Sister gonna use it for more casual, (buying 550 because things allot worse are just 50$'s less expensive)

The GTX 470 is stronger than the GTX 550 and comparable with the GTX 560Ti.
so if you are a gamer take the GTX 470 and give your sister the GTX 550

The 470 is a way more power GPU compared to the 550.
