So I've returned a faulty HD7770 from ASUS (never buy it, they are broken) and I'm looking at a NVidia replacement. I have narrowed it down to these two: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CLX59PmWnb0CFeZDMgodEFYAkg&Item=N82E16814127782&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Desktop+Graphics+Cards-_-N82E16814127782&ef_id=UUoy2QAABTetGuY@:20140318225537:s , which is a regular GTX 750 with a good MSI cooler, or this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CIqDp-qanb0CFTBgMgodM2wAXw&Item=N82E16814127784&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Desktop+Graphics+Cards-_-N82E16814127784&ef_id=UUoy2QAABTetGuY@:20140318231258:s , which is a 750 Ti with a smaller cooler. What's better for the money? Am I overlooking a better GPU? Keep in mind, the first link is my entire budget, so anything above that is less relevant to my end purchase. Thanks, and happy building.

Buy the EVGA! Your mind is made up, there are no lower priced cards in that category, And I think you'll be very happy.The Zotac was just a suggestion, if you found the EVGA for $160 buy it...:)

This card is $170. You realize that's $30 more right? Thanks for the recommendation, but you might have to look harder to stay within the budget. Once again, no insult meant. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to post.

Both graphics cards will be good, but I would recommend getting the gtx 750. Since the 750 has a better cooler, you can always overclock it and get the performance of the 750 ti without having much heat issues. It will honestly depend on the amount you are looking to spend, and what your using it for. I pulled this performance info from nvidia's website so it gives you a better idea of the performance between the two.

Wow, thanks! Will probably go with the 750 now, but I'll leave this open until ASUS gets my money back to me, so if anyone has any other ideas they can post them.

No problem. If resolution is going to be 720p than 750 ti wont make a very big difference. You will also have the option to change it to hdmi. If you ever need a higher performance from your gpu, you can always get a second gtx 750 and set the two up in a sli config. (if your motherboard has space for 2 gpu's)

I thought you couldn't SLI 750's? Also, I'm on an AMD mATX board, lol. Pretty far off from SLI.

I would go with the 750 ti, just got this one a few weeks ago to hold me over until high end 800s come out. Didn't want to drop $700+ on a card to be a gen behind in a few months. I got it overclocked to 1460Mhz stable, definitely worth the extra few dollars over the 750.

Thanks for the advice, but if you don't mind, read my earlier post concerning the 750Ti. You seem to have a much larger GPU budget than I, so good for you, but me.. not so much.

But the Zotac Ti card has for $20.more 640 CUDA Cores 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 & Free $150 In-Game Bonus

where the Msi card has: 512 CUDA Cores 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5
you can download afterburner and use it on most nVidia cards. so why not overclock a ti instead .
There are people out there oc'ing these cards with passive heatsinks the cooling on them doesn't take much,they are very power conservative cards.

Thanks, that is actually helpful. Wish I'd further examined those cards. How well do Zotacs perform, as a general rule? My ASUS GPU crashed and stuff, and everyone had that issue on Newegg and TigerDirect. That card looks like it's worth the extra $20, it's just the only review is some dude talking about how you can't use it in Linux (which I don't use).

Thanks. "Same reference PCB" means the guts are the same as always, right? Not very experienced with GPUs.

That bar graph from Nvidia is a little misleading. Look at 780 vs 780 ti. There's only a small difference there, but the cards in actuality are about 20%-30% apart in benchmarks (780ti is that much faster). Then compare that difference in the chart to the different between the 750 and the 750 ti. It's much bigger. If that graph has any consistency at all, the difference between the 750 and the 750 ti is substantial, and much greater than the difference between the 780 and 780 ti (which is large).

Compare them here: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-750-Ti-vs-GeForce-GTX-750

The 750 ti has twice the textel fill rate, twice the VRAM, and 78 more CUDA cores (512 vs 640). You should look up bench marks also.

Just as an example, this benchmark shows that the 750 ti achieves roughly 20% more frames-per-second in Metro Last Light at 1080p using "High Quality" (32 vs 38.1 fps): http://www.anandtech.com/show/7764/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-ti-and-gtx-750-review-maxwell/11

So I take it you root for the Ti?

I don't "root" for either card, just helping you get accurate information 😀


Nothing in the 750-series requires a power connector except for special edition cards (e.g. EVGA's FTW edition).
