Powercolor Radeon HD 5550 Review @ OCC

" I was impressed with the extra power I gained from the overclock, seeing over a 10FPS boost in some cases. That is free power, and at $70 you can't beat it. The other reason I was impressed was the fact that this card requires no supplementary power connections from your power supply, everything the card needed for the increases was able to be pumped right through the PCI-E port."

"The GTX 480 is late. The GTX 480 is hot. Both of these facts have now been established by both ourselves and a gazillion other review sites.
