The memory is left at the stock 5400 MHz effective. The ASUS GTX 750 Ti OC, as the name would suggest, comes with an overclock out of the box of 52/65MHz on the GPU core. ASUS have added a pair of their fans which they claim provide twice the airflow and a three times reduction in noise over the reference design.ĪSUS have also equipped better than reference power components which they claim offer 2.5X longer lifespan and also operate at lower temperatures which should improve the efficiency of the graphics card.

We’re hoping that this won’t affect cooling performance too much but we’ll have to wait until the test results before that can be determined. This is because ASUS have not chosen to use any heat pipes at all – that’s right, not heat pipes. With this graphics card ASUS are using their “Direct CU II style design”, however, this is not actually a Direct CU II product. I am hoping that today ASUS can bring some improvements to the table with the ASUS GTX 750 Ti OC graphics card we are looking at. The Nvidia GTX 750 Ti is a great graphics card but the reference design that we reviewed was lacking a little something. And based on GM107’s showing, we’re excited to think about what Nvidia might do with this architecture and a 250 W power budget.Introduction, Specifications and Packaging And then there is an as-of-yet unrealized match-up where AMD can deliver a stunning value-packed counter-punch, though we remain skeptical of Radeon R7 265’s price and availability.Įven if it is able to deliver plenty of 265s at its promised price, AMD will undoubtedly be facing other Maxwell-based part in the near future. In other comparisons, the GM107-based card is strong, but simply priced fairly based on its competition.

In the end, there are a number of situations where Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 750 Ti cannot be matched by any card from either vendor. Let’s just hope Nvidia’s Maxwell-based parts don’t similarly suffer from their own aptitude in this discipline. You could throw four onto a motherboard for $100 less than one Radeon R9 290X, use less power, and achieve higher hash rates. The new GeForce uses just 40% of its power. In absolute terms, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti is just about as fast as Radeon R7 265. This makes it ideal in aging gaming PCs or small form factor enclosures.Īnd then there’s the cryptocurrency mining story, which currently shoulders the blame for unreasonable prices on most of AMD’s line-up. Nvidia's GeForce GTX 750 Ti, based on the Maxwell architecture, offers solid performance at 1920x1080 and is only rated for 60 W, so it doesn't need auxiliary power. Previously, that was AMD’s Radeon HD 7750. Or how about an older hand-me-down system with integrated graphics and a 300 W power supply? Without the extra connectors to support a modern discrete graphics card, you’re forced to either buy a new power supply or settle for the highest-end card with no other dependencies.
