I'm wanting an Nvidia GPU, and have wanted the 750ti for awhile, my hd7870 has no problems and plays BF4 multiplayer on 1080p ultra at 60fps in my stock i5 3570k rig, on my 1055t at 3.5ghz it's at ~45 to 60fps, capped since my monitor is only 60hz anyway.
Reason I'm wanting to trade my hd 7870 for a 750ti is, unknown to me, AMD gpu like to ramp up the core and memory speed when using dual monitors which I have, and, Nvidia doesn't have this problem. Having to manually change the clocks in Catalyst Control Center is very annoying to me, and the presets don't work like some random guy on the Linus Tech forums said.... So, if you only have a single monitor or don't mind manually changing the speeds to reduce temps and power consumption (or don't care about that at all) this would be a good upgrade. It's no fault of the 7870 itself, from the research I've done, AMD gpu over the past several years have had this problem.

and dual monitor comparison between the 750ti and r7 265 (7850) http://www.legitreviews.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-ti-2gb-video-card-review_135752/15
the 7870 is two tiers above the 750ti so it would be a decent upgrade. And this is the factory overclocked 7870ghz. Like the guy said in the tech power up post said, I'm not happy to be going to a weaker Nvidia, but it just working with no hassle is a welcome addition. I do NOT want to have to manually change the clock speeds every time I game.
alas, pic:
If you have a 750ti, post a pic of it yourself like somebody would if they were selling something with your username, tom's hardware, and the date.
Thx. I'd consider a trade for a regular gtx 660 or 660ti if anybody has one of those around too. My GPU hasn't been used for mining, I have absolutely no interest in ever doing that.
