hi which 750 ti would be best for gaiming with low power/display port...

i dont think 750Ti is worth it for gaming, for the same price you can get much more performant GPU.
maybe if you are using a PSU lower than 300watt, or you have a setup that require as little TDP as possible, if im not mistaken the 750Ti is about 120TDP, gpu for the same price has 180TDP and about 30% more performance, personaly saving 60watts for me doesnt justify losing 30% performance.

That is 60W of heat, not power. The 750Ti takes basically no power, generally is powered by just the PCI-e Lane on the motherboard!


That 128-bit memory interface is not good on the 750Ti cards, why not spend £90 (this week only deal) on the Sapphire R7 265 instead?

I believe Nvidia did some magic and on the new architecture the memory-bus width has less of an effect than it used to.

The EVGA 750 Ti's are the best, they have DP connecters as well as DVI dual link and HDMI. Also warranty on EVGA is second to none. As they are all similarly priced I would def go with EVGA over the rest of the pack.

i was looking for performance at lower watts and some of the benches are impressive for such a low power card, the evga 750 ti ftw looks good at 120watts max and can run almost everything on ultra on bf4 @ 1920x1080 30+fps, if i put it all on high settings on my 2560x1080 it should be ok, but then i am waiting to see what the bigger maxwell cards can do at hopefully lower wattage when they arrive, my zotac 780 amp edition can use double that of the 750 ti....

seriously ? you are going from 780 to 750Ti ? you understand that's like 4 times slower card ? 760 is like twice as fast...
you are moving to an ITX build? or live somewhere where electricity is abnormaly expensive ? you have an issue with a small PSU ?
because as a gamer this doesnt make sens at all to me.
i have a friend who bought a 750Ti, when they came out, it lasted him a month till he changed it, because as a gamer, the watts didnt affect him but the perf did, so he went for a 770

Good Grief, what? yes the 750TI uses 4 time less power but its also 3 times slower.

You don't take the engine out of the Porsche and replace it with one out of a VW UP because its more fuel efficient, you will get overtaken by Cyclists at the lights!

If your wanting to down grade there are better cards for the 750TI's money, even if they aren't quite as fuel efficient.

Ehm...the 750Ti is like 25-33% the performance of the GTX780...

Proper "big" maxwell won't be coming till 2015 at the very earliest...these rumour maxwell coming on the 28nm this year such as the GTX880 won't be much faster, if at all comparing to the GTX780/GTX780Ti. They would most likely be waving the "lower power consumption flag" very hard like for the GTX750Ti that's about it. I'm not sure if it really worth you the hassle of downgrading from the GTX780 to a GTX750Ti, then get a GTX880 with an additional cost of around £150-£200 for say...50W lower power consumption, and 0-5% performance increase...

Sorry to quickly jump in here..
I've been looking at the aforementioned card and was wondering if it's worth the upgrade from a radeon hd7770? It's just within my budget.
cheers,
Steve.

What is your budget? the cheapest 750TI's are 100/ £110.

Sapphire Radeon R7 265 Dual-X 2048MB is faster than the 750TI, and cheaper. (£90) it is worth upgrading as the performance margin is significant

For about the same money as the 750TI Sapphire Radeon R9 270 2048MB is faster again (£110).

IMO the 750TI is not worth £100+ in its performance bracket, its a lot of money for a relatively slow card. its an £80 card.

it was only going to be a temporary downgrade anyway until the new maxwells surfaced,
my zotac has been rma'd because of issues with a 4k monitor through the display port, so they have both been sent back, and i just couldnt do without a descent pc over the weekend, so at the mo i am using the igpu on my 3770k which you can imagine does run things but dont look so good, i will check out those other cards you listed cheers....
