You might not believe the price when you see it, and not for the expected reason

Micro-Star International has completed development of a new video card, or at least a new version of an existing graphics adapter.

The board we are talking about is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti.

MSI gave its new product the model number N550GTX-Ti-MD1GD5-V2, not exactly the shortest name in the world.

Anyway, the product has 192 CUDA cores, a clock speed of 900 MHz for the GPU, 1,800 MHz for the CUDA cores and 3.8 GHz for the 1 GB of GDDR5 VRAM.

That's right, since this isn't a Kepler board, the shaders operate at twice the GPU speed.

The only other relevant piece of info is the connectivity: D-sub, dual-link DVI and HDMI. Unfortunately, the price of $150 (120 Euro) won't enchant too many people, especially since this is an old-generation adapter now.
