OK, yes 550 is less then 460 (yes I mean GTX, don't get gts/gt for
gaming anyways).  But it's not better.  At least all previous it was
the x60 that went up in performance by tons compared to the x50.  And
I believe the GFLOPS is better on the 460 compared to 550.  Also the
bit for the 550 is only 192 and the 460 is 256.  And the 550 is
cheaper then 460 because it's not as good when you get down to how it
actually runs AFAIK.  I could be wrong, but since the 200 series the
x50 has been worse then the previous gens x60 in terms of performance.

Now looking at UK websites.  Damn you guys getting ripped off.  Or
maybe it's shipping.  But I got 2 gtx 460's on sale with $30 mail in
rebate for under $100 total cost each.  Which is like 64 pounds or
something.  I mean I just looked newegg, think you can get 1 for $140
which is like 89 pounds.
