I wouldn't count on being able to buy a budget graphics card that would be able to carry you through a generation of consoles that haven't even been released yet (I can't take the Wii U seriously [or any console, but whatever]). Many games won't be as demanding as Crysis 3, but many will be much more demanding (if the beta is any indication, Crysis 3 is not the face-melter that Crytek hyped). I'd just hold onto your 550 ti until you can't take it anymore and then grab the best GPU you can get for the money at some future date, a couple GPU gens from now.
If i couldnt get atleast 45 fps on low 1080p id have to get a new gpu. I really hate going below 1920 by 1080. Thats really my only requirement, runs smooth and is 1080p. I dont need to go overload with phys x or DX 11 or all that fancy crap. So far ive had no issues with any game running lower then 50. So i guess im sort of safe
