This card is an obvious improvement over the original X300, but nothing spectacular. For the occasional (like once in a blue moon) game player, it just about suffices. In reality, it suits anyone who needs a stop gap measure while waiting to save up for a next generation card, or someone who needs a basic graphics card with dual monitor and TV output support. If you want to play games, reach a little deeper in to your pocket and shell out for a GeForce 6600GT or a Radeon X800GT – either of these will suite your needs without breaking the bank, with the latter edging ahead of the former in our tests. At £52, this X550 doesn’t really offer enough performance increase to choose it over the cheaper Abit RX300. They are both pretty poor at playing games and the extra £15 doesn’t get you much closer. With cards like the Abit X300SE offering guaranteed overclocked speeds that better an X550, all hands point in the Abit direction for the best value for money. Read full review
