Nvidia GTX 550 TI 1gb vs Sapphire HD 7750 1gb

I have one of each and I want to sell the weakest one... which one is better? Everything I see online is showing them almost equal so I was hoping someone would have some input.

Thanks!

Are both GDDR5?

[strike]Well first off the 550 is on the DO NOT SUPPORT list from NVidia, so no current drivers or previous drivers this year are will support the 550 TI [/strike]

Check that, I was thinking Quadro. Seems the GTX 5xx series is still supported, but according to this list would be the NEXT series they drop support for http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3473

Most likely (like everyone else out there) as Windows 10 will be free for all Win7/8 people the mass change over GLOBALLY of EVERYONE to W10 will initiate another series of 'No longer support' since Win7 is no longer CONSUMER supported and Win8 failed to gain hold, W10 will just replace everything (REBOOT) and just mark forward with that support instead.

The 7750 is rated at the bottom for use, and was tested against the likes of BF3 and Crysis 2.

Which you can see only does 'marginly worse' then the 550Ti http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7770-7750-benchmark,3135-6.html

which in the case of getting '20s and 30s' performance in a very old game, and looking at all the titles since then, yeah NO POINT IN BUYING EITHER from you. It wouldn't be worth even $10 to put into someone's PC because they couldn't play anything 'decently' even on lowest settings.

Toss them BOTH in the Electric Recycle. Even a current $250 laptop/desktop from Walmart will be a better investment then these cards.

With all due respect I'd argue the opposite... Are they top dollar cards? NO, but the 550 TI still plays newer games at medium graphics settings... I know because I'm using that now...

Well if your willing to drop down so low to "just play the game" then that is your 'bar'. The 'consumer' (the people buying your hardware) are using the 'YouTube standard', which is to say they see a epic AAAA game (BF4, Alien Isolation, CODAW, etc.) shown at full AA, AF, 1080P ULTRA settings with FPS over 50s, they feel ALL computers should "PLAY" like that. your cards fail to even do half that level of 'Bells and whistles' graphically and certainly not high FPS (as the independent testing shows you in the links even on OLD titles).

Alternatively to your card, then the BETTER value for 'expectations' would be a PS4, which would be more expensive then your cards TRUE, but putting into 'any off the shelf' $249 computer the card won't help (in fact current articles are stating ADDING a low end card will actually IMPEDE performance on iCores due to the high performance of the built in Video) and the costs of both the low end computer PLUS your card (again what someone would be thinking of trying to do 'PC Gaming on the cheap') would again not provide the SAME or even 'close' level of performance as a PS4 can which is in the same price range, and you get much better performance (1080P 60FPS HIGH graphics on many NEW and current titles - http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/PS4_vs._Xbox_One_Native_Resolutions_and_Framerates ).

That all said, simple SELF-POWERED solution, go to EBAY and look up your cards see how many are being sold and how much they are being sold for,
(give you a hint, ALOT of them and stupidly priced). Now consider anyone can just type www.pcpartpicker.com click on graphics cards, and get the current 'lowest end' GPU that is 2 Generations better then the cards your selling for $125 NEW AND UNDERWARRANTY (remember hardware is only warrantied for 3 years, after that the manufacturer clearly states they can't guarantee the hardware will every work) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-02gp43753kr

I think you lost track of the original question, which is which one is better? Because I will be selling the weaker for 50 on cl (which will be great for a media pc for bluray at 1080 or even low end gaming).

So back to my original question and reason for posting... Is the 550 ti or the 7750 better?

They are relatively the same card only 'marginally worse'. So YES the 7750 does a 25-30 while the 550 TI does 28-32, really does it matter at that low performance level? No. And for your 'intentional use' NEITHER is 'worse' or 'Better' for the other, they would all perform for Media PC basic use, but not even for low end gaming, unless your talking (as said) very old titles (Crysis, Crysis2, etc.. aka titles 2009 and older).
