Some GPU Questions

[Shadeslayer110]

Hi,
I am going to build a new PC and wanted to know if the GPU I am going to get, the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 TI, is better than the Geforce 8800 GS> Also, if your PC rig exceeds the reccommend requirements, than can you play without any lag with decent graphics?

Depends on what games you plan on playing and @ what resolution. Also the specs for the rest of your rig would be helpful.

The 750 ti will smoke the 8800gs in any situation

That's a pretty good build. You'll be able to upgrade to even the most powerful graphics cards later if you want, but the 750 ti is a pretty good little card. I have one m'self. The EVGA Superclocked is the one I went for. It's actually more powerful than the Xbox One's graphics processor, so you'll be happy if you play Titanfall. It'll rock it out at 1080p with most of the eye candy turned up. 😀

I would go with a 760 at a minimum. The performance gap is significant for the extra $$$ or a R9 270x.

Now that you mention playing Titanfall on the 750 ti, it reminds me that I've been curious to try the card as the primary GPU. Right now, I have it dedicated to a specific use, not 3D. If you are interested, I can test it with Titanfall at 1080p and report back.

I will, but when I have enough money, or during Christmas or whatever. For now, I am sticking with the 750 ti

Are you going to overclock? If not change the cpu to a non-k cpu and upgrade your video card.
