Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 and 750 Ti review

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 and 750 Ti graphics cards mark the debut of the efficient 28nm "Maxwell" GPU architecture (GM107), designed as low-power, affordable replacements for the older GTX 650 series. Targeted at the entry-level and mainstream markets with a launch price under $150/€150, the standard GTX 750 features 512 CUDA cores and 1GB of GDDR5 memory, while the higher-tier GTX 750 Ti boasts 640 CUDA cores paired with up to 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit interface. These reference models target a base clock of 1020 MHz with a boost clock of 1084 MHz, delivering enough processing power to handle modern DirectX 11 titles. The primary pros of these graphics cards are their micro-architecture efficiency, low power consumption, and capable performance in 1080p Full HD gaming for older or less demanding titles. Conversely, the major cons include a narrow 128-bit memory bus and limited VRAM configurations (1GB or 2GB), which restrict their ability to play modern, intensive games at high image quality settings or with demanding anti-aliasing enabled. While highly functional for budget gamers willing to forfeit...

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB Review

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti introduces the Maxwell architecture on a 28 nm process, featuring the GM107 GPU with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory and a 60 W maximum power draw. This highly efficient card requires no external power connector, resulting in exceptionally low temperatures, quiet fan noise, and ideal performance for small form factor builds. While offering a 25% performance boost over its predecessor, it is positioned as a mid-range card that may struggle with high-detail, demanding gaming at 1080p. Pros of the GTX 750 Ti include industry-leading performance-per-watt, very quiet operation, and good memory overclocking potential. Cons include a relatively high $149 launch price, no SLI support, and a restrictive power limiter that restricts maximum overclocking within the 75 W PCIe slot limit. Additionally, its DirectX 12 feature set is limited to 11_0, which may impact compatibility with newer software.

Summary of the review

Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti review If you would like to look into specific versions of this card, let me know if you want reviews of custom partner mode...

The Expert Reviews article presents a highly positive evaluation of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti, labeling it an excellent entry-level graphics card at a reviewed price of £115. Built on the Maxwell architecture, the card delivers a 135% performance boost per core and double the performance per watt compared to older Kepler-based chips. The biggest selling points highlighted are its low 60W power requirement, which allows it to run entirely off the PCI Express x16 bus without an external 6-pin power connector, and its tiny 145mm length. In benchmark tests, the card handles Full HD (1080p) gaming well, achieving an impressive 91.6fps in Dirt Showdown on High settings and a smooth 34.1fps in Crysis 3 on Medium settings. The review explicitly outlines several key pros and cons of the hardware: Pros: Bus-powered convenience: Requires just 60W of power, allowing installation in standard, off-the-shelf PCs with a modest 300W power supply and no dedicated PCIe power cables. Compact form factor: At only 145mm long, it easily fits into tiny cases, making it an ideal choice for home theatre PCs (HTPCs)....

Passively Cooling Nvidia's GeForce GTX 750 Ti...With An Accent Acceleration S1 Plus

This review from Tom's Hardware documents a custom project where a Maxwell-based Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphics card was passively cooled using an adapted AMD heat sink inside a closed PC case. Operating in a completely silent, noiseless environment, the GPU hits a 80 °C temperature ceiling after 20 minutes of heavy load. To maintain this thermal threshold, Nvidia’s GPU Boost technology automatically throttles the boost clock speed down to around 1136 MHz. This thermal behavior results in a minimal performance loss of only 2% compared to the standard actively cooled reference model, and roughly a 3% drop compared to aggressively cooled, factory-overclocked variants. The project highlights distinct advantages and disadvantages of opting for a fanless setup. The primary pro is the achievement of a completely silent, zero-noise graphics solution that still maintains stable, guaranteed base frequencies of 1020 MHz. Furthermore, the card’s voltage regulators operate safely at roughly 93 °C, remaining entirely within official specifications. On the downside, the cons include high running temperatures that sit right at the card's 80 °C thermal target, requiring minor performance throttling...

Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 (Ti) „Maxwell“ im Test

The review highlights the debut of Nvidia’s "Maxwell" GPU architecture, introduced through the mid-range GeForce GTX 750 and 750 Ti graphics cards built on TSMC's 28nm process (GM107 chip). The core focus of this first-generation Maxwell architecture is a massive leap in energy efficiency, with Nvidia promising twice the performance-per-watt of the previous "Kepler" generation. To achieve this without shrinking the manufacturing node, Nvidia completely redesigned the Streaming Multiprocessor (SMM). They reduced the number of Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs) to 128 per SMM but quadrupled the control logic units, offloaded scheduling tasks to the CPU driver, and restructured the L1 cache to significantly maximize individual ALU utilization. A primary pro of the architecture is this enhanced execution efficiency; despite having 33% fewer ALUs than Kepler, a Maxwell SMM retains roughly 90% of its predecessor's performance because each ALU is roughly 35% more effective. This allows the GTX 750 Ti to be faster and consume less power than the older GTX 650 Ti. On the con side, this first iteration targets power savings rather than pushing the absolute performance envelope, leaving...
