The 550 boosts to 1206, not 1750 (that's the memory clock).

Had a quick look there and on Sapphire's site... No actual mention of price.
Try this. (OCUK)
Sadly, reducing from 1 click to 0 involves embedding images of another website on this one, it's bad juju. But you're welcome. Also..
You CAN AFFORD IT.
No sign of the 560 though for some reason. I'd argue that, price-permitting, that could be the most interesting card of the line-up. (I'd appreciate the 550 2GiB if it were priced more appropriately, say £59.99 or £69.99.)
wondering how that 550 compares to a 280x.. I do love small form factor stuff haha
TBH, I don't mind it not being in the article, but if Sapph themselves are telling me I can afford it, I expect them to tell me how affordable it is, so I can figure out if I can get an appropriate monitor to go with it.
As is, I've already upgraded to a 980Ti with waterblock and new monitor, which is why I wasn't interested enough to look further... but I actually couldn't have quite afforded/justified the cost (with the necessary waterblock) of upgrading to one of these before the 980, even with the 8GB DDR5 card!
Ya koon tacha poonoo nee sah, gee!!
Tech Deals suggested it was around 2x the performance of the a 550. The 550 was pretty good for such a cheap little card and also low powered for PCIE so very good back compat.
Benchmarks for this will be interesting. I've been told the Pulse 580 is likely to be pretty bad as, unlike the new 580 Nitro+, it uses the old cooler from their 480 which struggled back on the 480, so the even more power hungry 580 could cause serious problems.
560 doesn't launch until early May, apparently. I'd guess that's because it's the only card that's actually a significant step up from the incumbent 400-series card, so they want to clear a bit of space around the launch rather than have it lost amongst the launch of the higher end cards.
