so 750Ti = ~560TI 448core, not bad, but nothing special.. And I just saw this in nvidia release notes http://i.imgur.com/9Jo1WTj.png Not good for physx either, still has some birth issues

Looks like Nvidia focused completely on power efficiency in Maxwell. It still doesn't support 11.1/11.2 fully. I think they really want this arch down in mobile. If they could cut the power of their Tegra K1 GPU in half it would actually be able to fit into a phone and be useful. Overall pretty cool.

Well its a low end gpu imo its obvious its gonna be power efficient. It would be ideal if I wanted Physx gpu - no extra pcie connectors, 750 non-ti is plenty for it. But the price ~130€ is meh. btw, where did you see it doesnt support dx11.2? I saw one early gpu-z screen and it showed dx11.2

Huh? It uses half the power of similarly performing chips. Which means Nvidia doubled the performance/watt. It has nothing to do with it being low end. As for DX11

From a graphics/gaming perspective there will not be any changes. Maxwell remains a Direct3D 11.0 compliant design, supporting the base 11.0 functionality along with many (but not all) of the features required for Direct3D 11.1 and 11.2. NVIDIA as a whole has not professed much of an interest in being 11.1/11.2 compliant – they weren’t in a rush on 10.1 either – so this didn’t come as a great surprise to us. Nevertheless it is unfortunate, as NVIDIA carries enough market share that their support (or lack thereof) for a feature is often the deciding factor whether it’s used. Developers can still use cap bits to access the individual features of D3D 11.1/11.2 that Maxwell does support, but we will not be seeing 11.1 or 11.2 becoming a baseline for PC gaming hardware this year.

Well they have to lower TDP in order to make a efficient full Maxwell chip or its gonna be GF100 all over again. I spotted dx11.2 here in this gpu-z http://www.techpowerup.com/197620/aic-branded-geforce-gtx-750-ti-and-gtx-750-pictured-clock-speeds-surface.html

I applaud the power efficiency, but on perf / price point, well i will better like they have pushed the enveloppe and offer more performance, more features too. when compare against the 650TI Boost ( GK106 / 650TI + turbo clock ).. and other cards in this price range ( of nvidia ).. im not sure peoples really care to have 25-30W-40W more but more framerates in return.. Again, extremely good work on power efficiency...

Just needs a patch to fix. If the price is right the reference single slot cards could be a great PhysX card.

I'm not criticizing that it has low power, it's a good thing. And no it does not fully support DX11.2.

Great review. I am considering buying one of these to replace a 5870 that is underpowered by a 430w PSU. http://watchfree.me/25/w.pngThe 750 Ti would match or beat it 99% of the time and no more restarts of my Pc under heavy load. I want buy this it's look Amazon still has the best price on the market

Default retail clockspeed is 1059, NOT 1085 :realmad: I just got this card and the default clock speed is a scam - it's 1059, not 1085 (according to GPU-Z). Seems like the review version MSI sent out is different from the retail one, as in the retail version the 1085 clock speed is "set" through a totally useless "gaming app", which basically just overclocks it to 1085. So the maximum OC limit is NOT 1210, but 1184, just like the (similar) Asus version of the card - plus you get a DVI port less. PS: If proof is required I'll find a place to upload a GPU-Z screenshot to.

So you gave the thread a bad rating for that?

MSI does this with all their "Gaming" cards don't get your panties in a wad.
