The gtx 550 Ti is a tiny bit faster than the 650.Most of it's speed comes from Slightly higher memory bandwidth. I use this site to compare all my computer hardware.Note that it compares Hardware Specs and speeds.It's not actually testing each component as each video card will be faster or slower in different machines.But it does give you a good guideline for Manufacture Specs. http://www.hwcompare.com/13482/geforce-gtx-550-ti-vs-geforce-gtx-650/ Twinkie did you see that they are using the 550Ti in an AMD X6 1090T based PC and the GTX 650 in a i5 3570k based PC.That makes that benchmark Completely useless.Different PC hardware both Chipset and CPU and Memory speed/type. Check it out lol.The i5 smokes the crap out of the 1090t http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/464/AMD_Phenom_II_X6_1090T_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-3570K.html Edited January 30, 2013 by Pvt.Death Awards

Rule of thumb.Compare Manufacture Hardware specs.If it looks faster or slower than 90% of the time it will be faster or slower. BMD your 2gb memory bandwidth is a bit slower(128 bit vs 256 bit) than the 650 with 1gb according to HW compare.If your card has 256 bit memory bandwidth it is faster that the 650.Look at the bottom for the cards that they compared. 2gb GTX560 they used has 128 bit and the 1gb 650 has 256 bit. Memory Bandwidth is a HUGE thing when it comes to Speed. Edited January 30, 2013 by Pvt.Death Awards

For best compatibility with the mainboard, MSI graphics cards are recommended. So does that mean i can't use both together? Awards

They changed alot of crap in the last couple years.You used to be able to SLi 2 different Nvidia cards up until the 300 series came out,according to guru3d.com and a couple other forums that I found. I had a 9600GT and a 9800GT in Sli for a couple years and it worked great. Are the boxes for the video cards open?If so it can't hurt to test them in COD4 and see which is faster. Open the Console and put /cg_drawFPS 1 (for the FPS meter) and /com_maxfps 0 (Removes the FPS Limit) Awards
