Hey people I am going to buy one of these cards tomorrow so please suggest me one

XFX 6790 Used(Not much),zotac GTX 550 ti OEM,MSI GTX 550ti OEM

1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
Ans: CM GX 450

2. What is your budget?
Ans: budget here not an issue i am getting one of these cards from a friend so that is why i am taking one of these BW he is giving me these @ 5-6K

3. Which resolution will you game at?
Ans:1440*900

4. What are your current computer specifications?
Ans: C2D @ 2.6 Ghz, 4 GB DDR3 Ram, 500Gb HD, XFX GT 240(to be replaced),gigabyte g41 combo MO...

I am confused which one of these performs better?

HD 6790 perfroms better than GTX-550Ti.
If you can add some more to your budget then HD 7770 for 8.3k is a very good option.

BTW is your friend using all the three graphics cards?

Only these options bro msi n zotac are new ones and 6790 is 3 months old and moreover these r available to me at 5.5k so no more investment.... And 6790 is xfx one...just 3 months old

Please help people.........

So, you are getting new GTX-550Ti for just 5.5k?? That's great pricing.

Well, as the 3 months old HD 6790 is also costing the same, better go for it.

Get the 3 months old HD 6790 as it can be considered almost new and the decision should be based on performance. 550 Ti performs like a HD 7750 and consumes power like a HD 6870.
