**EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti: Quick Look, mini review.**

[Boomstick777]

Got to play with one of these earlier, had a lil bit of time to run a couple benchmarks and games.

The box ! What do you get in the box? Not much. A voucher for £90 in some games I would likely never play and an adapter thingy.




It's kinda cool looking imho, compact but solid sort of look. Decent selection of ports on the rear HDMI, Dual Link DVI and Display Port.




Benchmarks.

Nvidia GeForce 340.43 Driver (BETA)

Intel 4790K / GTX 750 Ti.

Benchmarks were run with clocks at 1400Mhz on the core and + 655 on the memory 1678Mhz

(During benchmarking, the card remained silent and never exceeded 55c, card is inaudible)

3D Mark 11

Score P7003

Unigine Valley 1.0

Score P1094



Games.

Tested @ 1440P Resolution

Titanfall.

Was able to run these settings pictured below at a steady 60fps with occasional drop to around 50fps during intense action. At 1080P I imagine higher settings would be obtainable. For 1440P this isn't bad at all.

Battlefield 4.

Preset 'Medium' @ 1440P.

Was able to keep a near enough solid 60fps with very few drops in both in single player and multiplayer. Impressive for such a cheap card.

------------------------

For the money, this is a great little card. It's quiet to the point you don't even know it's there. Even when overclocked under max load. The performance @ 1440P was surprising, most likely this card would be used for 1080P so even better game settings may be achievable.

In desktop use the card clocks down incredibly low, movie playback etc was spot on.

For someone looking for a cheap gaming card, this is ideal. It has the advantages of extremely low power use, big overclock potential and the cooler is inaudible.

1400+mhz, i so want one of these cards. For how much power they use....soooo impressive.

Yeah for how little power it uses it's performance is really good. Tempted to put one of these in the kids PC.

Pretty beastly card to say it's only running off PCI-E, thanks for the write up Boom

Cheers, was surprised just how capable it was especially at 1440P, medium settings games still looked great.

Best thing though, is the temps are so low, and the fan is silent.

I keep trying to find a reason to put one of these in my upcoming build as I just love the idea of it for my mini itx plan as it's so small, quiet and cool yet can deal with with current games at the 1080p res I game at.

If I do it will need to put me on until pascal but I'll be able to go 4790k for my cpu and as I'll only be playing bms falcon and arma 3 I could just manage.

It could also keep it when I upgrade and use it as a back up/test card.

Change my mind every day though.

Ha you're not the only one who changes their mind on this stuff every day .

Ended up ordering one of these for the kids PC. Ideal for them, runs so cool and quiet running. Much lower power use.

Amazing to think how far performance per watt has come on. In a couple of generations from now it will be ridiculous.

I run a SB based Xeon E3 and a GTX660 in a mini-ITX rig and I see at most 200W at the wall,and usually less than 185W when running. This generation of cards below £150 is quite efficient,and hopefully the next generation will be the same.

Those Xeon's are great CPU's. Real hidden gem that a lot of people aren't aware of. The latest ones 1230v3 and 1231v3 are monsters, performance level around 4770K and priced around i5. For someone not bothered about overclocking, they are best bang for buck there is.

Had a GTX 660 a while back, great cards for the money. Think I ran a pair in SLI as well. performance was really good for the cost.

Crazy to think how efficient and powerful CPU's/GPU's will be in the next few years.

This looked interesting until I saw the price for newish model.

Asus Strix has fans turned off until card reaches a certain temperature. Also includes Display Port, and no auxiliary power cable.

Yeah those Strix cards have a nice design but a bit to pricey.
