More powerful than expected!

After my now only 28 months old GTX 560 seemed so slow to give up the ghost (often times several seconds black screen even with pure 2D mode, under 3D load system crashes), I lay down in the search for a successor to the GTX 750 Ti fixed. (Must be because less heat is removed) The main reason for the relatively low purchase price, probably similar performance at significantly lower power consumption and, consequently, lower operating noises were.

Since both cards with the same driver (currently GeForce 337.88) run and I also otherwise currently no changes to the system (AMD FX-4100 at 3.6GHz, 4GB DDR3 2x to 667 MHz, Adata S510 SSD as a system drive, Win 7 Home Pro 64 bit) wanted to do, I could under otherwise unchanged conditions allow a comparison test with 3DMark 11 Basic run:

(;-) Is fortunately not greased) downloaded Benchmark, installed, started with the GTX 560 -.
- Computer shut down, exchanged cards, 2 reboots to detect and set up the new card correctly.
- Benchmark with the GTX 750 Ti started.

Before comparing the results it was clear that the GTX 750 Ti with respect to the operating noise significantly better standing: while the GTX 560 over the course of but relatively short tests became louder as the increased power consumption to more heat and thereby faster rotating fan led purred the 750 Ti unchanged softly to himself, which considered in isolation of course, already is very pleasant - and relieved in the long run also the wallet. However, this observation was quite expected, since they represent the core of the new NVIDIA architecture.

But surprisingly positive were also the benchmark results of the GTX 750 Ti from: in the independent of the CPU tests, she worked about 40% - 50% faster than the GTX 560, the overall result by over 32%! The results in detail:

Graphics Score 3726 5513
Physics Score 3671 3663
Combined Score 3710 3849
Graphics Test 1 18:24 26.18 fps fps
Graphics Test 2 17.99 fps 27.07 fps

Combined Test 17:26 fps 17.90 fps

Conclusion: the GTX 750 Ti OC by Asus via Trift my expectations for graphics performance significantly, with expected low noise (and power consumption - not explicitly measured). It should thus be quite sufficient to all current games at a resolution of 1920x1080 with tolerable smears on graphic details or frame rate to (depending on personal preference) represent, without half a month's salary to invest. And since the young Konsolengenaration (XBox One, Playstation 4) has also not to offer more spectacular graphics, the acquisition can probably be regarded as relatively future-proof.
