what card is best geforce gtx 650 ti or gt 740 2 gb ddr5?

what do you think about this is this a good price for a new 650 ti? it only needs to run most games on 1366x768

GTX 650 ti is better than the GT 740.

Get the GTX 650Ti.

ok thanks do you think that card will be able to handle games like battlefield 1 and the divison on low/medium on 1360x768?

Depends. You will have to factor in your CPU. You should check the aforementioned games' minimum system requirements, which can be found with a simple Google search. If you don't know how good your hardware is compared to the requirements, post them and I can tell you.

i know it will be a close call but i got intel xeon x5460 and it runs 2014-2015 games good on 720 p at least the ones i tried im using it with geforce gt 740 right now and it can run battlefield 4 on ultra on 1360x768
the cpu can also be easliy overclocked in bios i got a good heatsink so if needed i guess it could be oc

 

[valhallarising]

the intel xeon is about same performance as the quad q9650

The games you're playing are mainly GPU intensive anyway, so your CPU should be fine, it's the GPU that mainly pushes the pixels.

yeah i think sometimes the requirement for cpu is set to high even one of my computers with intel core quad q6600 handles most games maybe not as smooth as the xeon but most games can be played

Yeah the Xeon CPUs are mainly pretty solid.

Hi,

anything under x50 (450-550-650-750-950) Is not made for gaming, for minimum resolution get a x50, for better gaming experience get at least a x60

False. One of the best-selling budget nVidia cards is the 750ti.

 

[BurgerandChips66]

He said under X50, so that includes the 750 and 750Ti.

Basically anything 'GT' is not really intended for gaming.... anything 'GTX' is.

 

[valhallarising]

thanks, will geforce gtx 750 ti 1 gb handle most games at full hd or only at 720 p? thanks

 

[Alan Caldwell]

Get the 2GB version.

 

[valhallarising]

i allready got 1 gb so am i fucked now?

 

[Davinlevey]

Not for 720p

 

[valhallarising]

and some games 1080 p? for instance battlefield 4? and games like the division on 720 p am i getting it right?

 

[valhallarising]

what resolutions counts as 720 p? is it 1280x720 , 1360x768 and higher but under 1900X1080?

 

[Davinlevey]

Basically if you are running 1280x720 or 1368x768 it shouldn't be a massive deal breaker. At 1080p you want 2gb for the most part for modern AAA games.

I've got the GTX 750 (which is about 20-30% slower than your version) and it handles most 1080p gaming fine. But it's definitely the bottleneck of my system.

 

[valhallarising]

ok thanks i guess its a good buy for 100 s then

 

[BurgerandChips66]

When gaming at 1280 x 720p you should be okay with 1GB vram for most games at the moment... but in the future, with games becoming more and more demanding 2GB would have been ideal. If you run into problems, try turning down certain memory hungry settings such as Texture Quality etc.

It's a bit like with 1080p, where 2GB used to be 'enough'... more recently it isn't.

Ahh, thanks for pointing that out, I misread. If the GT series isn't meant for gaming, what is it meant for?
