750 Ti viable upgrade from 470?

[JayHuff4346]

Looking at the hierarchy chart, the 750 Ti and the 470 are in the same tier, but if I would get improved performance, because I really do need it, and I only have the money to spend on the 750 Ti, and won't be able to save much more money until a while down the road

So, will it give a noticeable performance increase? Or not?

No , GTX 470 = GTX 750 . But GTX 750 ti is a little faster (19%) than GTX 750

If you're tight for cash you should be looking at an r9 270, which is superior to the 750ti for around the same price

Alternatively you could always get a second hand gpu...

Well, heat output and power power consumption would be vastly improved. 750ti also have more vram (2gb vs 1.2gb). Performance wise you wont really notice a huge difference though...depends on what you'll be doing/playing.

I haven't had problems with games until Evolve, most likely a combination of everything on my PC, but if upgrading my GPU could make it run smoother, I would do it.

Agree with Luco on the r9 270. Only drawback is it does require a bit more from the PSU.

More than a 750ti sure, but still way less than that old 470 😉

The 750Ti is a great card especially if you get the EVGA Superclocked edition which is only around £100 ($130). Certainly around that price bracket i don't see anything better!

I had already thought about the r9 270, but I want a 750 Ti for shadowplay, so, would I get a noticeable increase in performance?

AMD have their own version of shadowplay. The r9 270 is about 10% faster

I've read that the quality of GVR isn't as good as Shadowplay and you could even have more frame loss. Can you just please tell me if I would have a noticeable performance increase with a 750 Ti over my current gtx 470?

I would say it's not worth your money actually. If you can find a cheap GTX760 or 670 then it would be a decent upgrade for you, but really all you will get from an upgrade to a 750ti is
-shadowplay
-power saving

Another question, what do you think the approximate performance gain in percentage I would gain if I were to buy a 750 Ti? I might not and find a way to save more money and buy a 960, as my PSU can handle it. But answer that last question for me, please.

 

[LucoTF]

It's really hard to say because they're several generations apart so you won't find many comparative benchmarks, but I suspect that any gains will be fairly moderate. Maybe 20% max in specific games, if you're lucky
