    Decent seller at £70.. I think not....

    At £50 it would sell well though.

    All the 5xxx series are looking expensive compared to 4xxx. 5550/70 performs like the old 4670 which is looking a good buy right now

    But you have to bear the exchange rate in mind. All mid-range cards have gone up in price, so a Eyefinity-capable HD 5550 card with 4GHz memory would represent (current) good value at £70 all in.

    Also it's next to impossible to find a 4670 singificantly below £60, when they were £50 on release. We just got spoiled last gen with the good exchange rate
