Why is this gfx card so cheap?

As the title says... why is...

....so cheap, given the comparison of the AnandTech results?.....http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/295?vs=330

I'll admit I'm not very conversant with gfx cards so, is there something I'm overlooking as the results seem too good to be true or is there a misprint?

You chose the 560 ti which is a £200 graphics card.

The anandtech link you have posted is for the much superior 560ti model.

the 550ti is actually a little weaker than a 768mb 460

When baseline for this forum is ~£150-160 on a graphics card, £115 may be considered a budget card
