The video card GeForce Ti 750, recently introduced by Nvidia, has messed up the computer hardware market. After all, judging by the markings, this video card belongs to the initial game class, but performance puts the graphics accelerator one level higher. And this is without taking into account the overclocking potential that the device can demonstrate.
And taking into account the fact that the video card is built on a completely new chip, uses the most advanced technologies and has a price affordable for many users, the conclusion is only one. An interesting product was obtained from the company Nvidia, you definitely need to get to know it better. Review and testing of the video card in this article will allow users to decide on a purchase.
Market positioning
The GeForce 750 Ti belongs to the budget class of devices due to its cost. In the domestic market, most products on this chip have a price of about 10,000 rubles. An important factor is the power consumption of the video card - the thermal package does not exceed 60 watts. This is a very low figure even among devices of an inexpensive segment.
If you compare this product with all the representatives of the seventh generation video cards, it turns out that the Nvidia GeForce 750 Ti is in its price range. Once again, the manufacturer did not allow budget devices to outperform gaming adapters of the previous generation in performance. And high rates in tests and games demonstrate only that technologies do not stand in one place.
Specifications
The new Maxwell chip and 28-nanometer process made the GeForce Ti 750 graphics card undemanding in power supply. The decrease in the technical process allowed placing almost 2 billion transistors on the chip, which significantly affected the overall performance of the graphics accelerator. The core core clock frequency is 1020 MHz, and in Boost acceleration mode - 1085 MHz.
When creating the memory, the manufacturer used the GDDR5 chips operating at a frequency of 1350 MHz, having a throughput of 128 bits. It is this indicator, as practice shows, that is the weak link in the budget video adapter. With the amount of memory, things are more interesting. The manufacturer supplied its product with two gigabytes of RAM, however, on the printed circuit board, it created additional connectors that allowed to increase the total volume to 4096 MB.
Supported Technologies
The GeForce 750 Ti video card supports the DirectX 11.2 instruction set, and this clearly refers to the disadvantages of the product from Nvidia, because the owners of the device can forget about games with virtual reality, but everything is not as bad as it seems. Updated smoothing modes FXAA and TXAA help the graphics accelerator to cope with the detail of objects, and the hardware control of vertical synchronization completely eliminates jitter at low frame rates.
Support for OpenGL 4.4 instructions will also have a positive effect on the quality of 3D image output. Do not forget about the use of CUDA technology, which allows the graphics core to take into processing the tasks assigned to the central processor. The video adapter communicates with the computer via the PCIex16 3.0 bus, but does not support the operation of several devices in SLI mode.
additional characteristics
The Nvidia GeForce 750 Ti graphics accelerator is equipped with three digital interfaces, but at the hardware level it is possible to connect an analog device using a DVI-VGA adapter. Future owners will also like the maximum digital resolution that the video card is able to demonstrate - 4096x2160. Yes, this is a 4K format, respectively, the video adapter supports this resolution at the hardware level and in games. The user can only purchase the appropriate monitor.
Support for the GeForce Ti 750 adapter for multiple displays (limited to three devices), compatibility with PhysX technology and Blu Ray 3D hardware decoding will allow the owner to enjoy high-quality multimedia viewing. Do not forget about the ease of installation - the dimensions of the adapter do not exceed 15 centimeters (in the basic version), which allows the owner to install the video card in any system unit.
The appearance of the graphics accelerator
Visual inspection of the GeForce 750 Ti video adapter is unlikely to cause any positive emotions, because the printed circuit board and cooling system are no different from other Nvidia products located in the low-cost segment. Standard black textolite, interface panel in one row and cheap cooling system. It is clear that in the factory version the graphics accelerator will not be present in the retail trade, but the manufacturer had to worry about the appearance of its product.
As for the batteries on the printed circuit board, they are scattered around the perimeter of the entire PCB, moreover chaotically. The capacitors are not solid-state, but with ferrite inserts (judging by the marking), which is already pleasing. Quite a strange cooling system - the radiator does not have a contact area. Apparently, the graphics core does not heat up at all, since the manufacturer allowed himself such a step.
Worthy representative
Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti is recognized as the best product in terms of price-quality ratio in the domestic market. None of the video adapter performance testing enthusiasts can do without this graphics accelerator. It’s better to start the review with the cooling system, because the Taiwanese manufacturer equipped the device with a powerful gaming cooler with two fans. Naturally, this decision led to the video card becoming one and a half times longer and claims to be installed only in an ATX format case.
Providing the GeForce Ti 750 with decent cooling, ASUS technologists increased the base frequency of the graphics core - 1072 MHz (in Boost mode, this parameter is 1150 MHz). Due to the increase in the size of the device, the changes also affected the interface panel, the manufacturer expanded it to two slots and provided it with additional video outputs. On the store windows you can find two modifications of the device with different amounts of RAM: 2 and 4 GB.
Interesting solutions in the domestic market
Not only the Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphics card attracts the attention of potential buyers when choosing graphics accelerators to run your favorite toys. Quite a few brands have chosen a new product with the new Nvidia chip. Gigabyte, Zotac and MSI have allowed themselves to completely modify the power system on the device’s circuit board. Naturally, such an intervention had a positive effect on productivity. In reviews and tests conducted by enthusiasts, these gaming solutions demonstrate high performance indicators. True, the products of these brands are slightly more expensive than a representative of ASUS, which causes dissatisfaction of potential buyers.
Finally
The reviews on the GeForce 750 Ti graphics accelerator are only positive, because this is one of the few gaming devices that can demonstrate high performance in games, being at a cost in a budget class. Do not forget about energy consumption - users do not have to change the power supply (if 350 W is installed in the system) to a more powerful device.
As for the most demanding applications and games, there is a dilemma. On the one hand, the graphics accelerator will easily pull GTA 5, Battlefield 4 and Crysis 4, but on the other hand, the video quality will have to be set at minimum or medium settings. Moreover, even a high-performance central processor can not improve the situation with the reproduction of high-quality graphics. After all, this is not a game-class device.
