GeForce GTX 550 Ti Gigabyte OC Edition Game Requirement Analysis

GeForce GTX 550 Ti Gigabyte OC Edition is a special edition of the upper-middle-class GeForce GTX 550 Ti.
The new features include increase clock frequencies from 900MHz to 970MHz and 1025MHz to 1050MHz of the core and memory clocks, respectively and a new cooling system with a custom-designed 10cm fan.
Benchmarks indicate a 5% boost in performance when compared to the standard GeForce GTX 550 Ti.
Some modern demanding games will run at the highest settings using a 1080p resolution but the largest part will have to be played with a 720p resolution to be played optimally.
This Graphics Card needs to be paired with a decent Quad Core CPU.

your rig : tweaked high settings without AA should give you smooth FPS.
550 ti with your rig : same as above, but i think the FPS will be lower compared to your 460
