GTX 550ti or GTX 560 se?

I was just wondering which of these cards is better. It seems they're the best for the price based on where I've looked. I'm open to other suggestions if you guys have any, but the big question is what one is better?

It seems the 550 is but from my unprofessional standpoint, isn't the 560 newer? I don't mind paying $5 more for a 550 since it seems that it has high clocks by default. Otherwise, they seem the same....

Here are the Cards:

Thanks guys. Though I would have to think if I really need to spend almost $30 more for a 460 (partly from shipping).

And how can you tell that the 460 is superior? What are you looking at? I always thought the main things to look at are Core and Texture clocks.

Core clocks don't mean much, there's different architectures, and memory buses and speed that affect performance more. I like to look at benchmarks, like I linked before.

Oh you're right. There is quite a difference. I suppose I'll have to decide whether or not 10 fps and more power is worth the extra almost $30. Thanks for the help.

I'm hoping to get a good GPU to play ArmA 2 Arrowhead and DayZ.

Thanks for your help! :)

Arma 2/ Dayz are incredibly demanding, not sure if those cards will cut it. Very CPU intensive game as well.

Havent actually played it myself but heard from many people you need a beast of a system. Might be worthwhile starting a new thread asking about the requirements.

That's a decent combination for a budget rig. You never stated what your resolutions was. The HD 6850 will be great at 1680x1050 and will still be adequate at 1080p.
