GTX 295 Today's performance in gaming

[DragonBorn1511]

I've read the GTX 295 can perform as well as a 750Ti in certain scenarios in gaming.

Is this true?

If not, what would the GTX 295 be equivalent to in terms of today's GPU's? Would it be a 7770? a 7790? etc etc.

it's also worth noting you're only getting 896mb video memory with the 295, as opposed to say a 750ti with 2GB

So if a game supports both DX 10 and DX 11, which car will perform better?
gtx 295 running DX10 would be faster then the other one.

Which games lately have been DX11 only? and will all newer games be DX11 only?
Pretty much every new AAA(big name publisher) title would be DX11.

When did games start becoming DX11 only? Stuff like Thief that came out last year supported both,

I did said new as in game that will be coming out.

it should be decent, however it will be hot and inefficient compared to today's cards. it's like a car with brute force without regards to fuel consumption

All this efficiency stuff makes me laugh a lot. I couldn't care less if my card took 150W or 400W. I don't pay the energy bill in the house.

Besides my PC will not be used that often.

I just want to know the performance compared to today's cards.

well, then why not get 3 sli then? oh wait, you're going to pay for this one?

That makes absolutely no sense..what are you implieing?

implying that you have no respect for your parents.... or whoever pays the power bill. If youre not paying for the power bill atleast try and make it easier on those who do.

I agree, It sounds selfish, however, I will rarely be using the PC, I have a Ps4 for my AAA games, so this is for older games, I can assure you now, the PC will rarely be used, that's why extreme power consumptions isn't a problem,

Saying that in regular use, people complaining about an i5 that uses 20W over another is just petty, one light bulb in a house will use more than that. That's why the power comsumption of a PC to me isn't a big deal, if it uses 100 - 200W more because compared to the rest of your house, it's petty.
