    Are you trying to compare desktop laptop options? They're apples and oranges, because laptop GPUs are much slower than desktop GPUs beating the same model number (without the M)

    A desktop GTX 550 Ti is just slightly slower than the laptop GT 650M SLI combo, which ranks #46 overall among laptop graphics cards. A desktop GTX 550 Ti performs about identically to a laptop GTX 670M.

    For a desktop, the Radeon HD 7770 or GTX 650 Ti are much more appealing choices than a GTX 550 Ti (being OC only boosts performance about 5-10 percent)

    GTX 550 ti is a desktop gpu and GT 650m is a notebook gpu...idk what u mean...but i say GTX 550 ti is better than GT 650m Sli'd...

    If you are going to buy a gpu for your PC,i would say get a GTX 650,or 650 ti...

    For a laptop,i would recomment GT 650M sli'd.
