Agreed... you can thank cryptomining for that. I'm one of those assholes.

I'm upgrading from a 560ti that might be a bit broken if it gets utilized to the max.

Never buy used electronics.
A new GTX 750Ti is $99-$115, just save.

Its $99 now since the GTX 950SE got released.

Faggot?

>>54042661
750ti sucks in every case except for if you were a dumbass and got a prebuilt with a shit PSU. It lost to the R7 260x in most games and was more expensive. Now the GTX 950 is just miles better.
There are 3 based hardware that's still relevant:
LGA1366 (overclockable 6 core Westmere Xeons @ 4.2 GHz+ are seriously amazing)
Sandy Bridge K series CPUs just due to high clock speeds
AMD Radeon HD 7950/7970 has amazing architecture that's still relevant today and is going to get yet another performance boost in DX12. GCN was such a long lasting architecture that has seen continuous driver optimizations, but now more importantly, a new API.
>>54044366
Picked one up for 250$ on amazon. Now i'm q wait fag and waiting for new cpu
>>54044610
Have that and I'm happy.
>>54045981
If you run Linux it's still better to go with gtx 750 ti as it costs 100 usd right now and the drivers are actually optimized for Linux ( the proprietary ones ).
Otherwise on windows yes buying a 100$ r7 260x is the superior option.

I dont think that is a good feature
Wouldn't it be better for both the rest of the motherboard and the gpu to be separately powered

i got the 750 sc version to use till i decide on a card. Got the 750 for free to use so not complaining.
Samsung S7 Edge keeps winning battery life competitions, 1440p curved AMOLED is best on the market, camera has larger pixels and OIS, MST and NFC for mobile payment, fast fingerprint sensor, and amazing build quality. If only their software wasn't bloated as fuck.

>>54047348
>Newer models are 75W, no PCIe power connector required
i'd like to see the actual performance when this card is locked to 75W draw.
Every other card nvidia has produced and said "doesn't need a 6-pin power plug!" has drawn well over 100W across the PCIe socket which will fry it pretty damn fast.
>>54047968
NOPE.AVI
It does not draw more than 75W otherwise GTX 750 Ti & GTX 750 wouldn't exist

>he still uses 1080p!

The worse fucking people. I hate the fags that /thread their own post.
>>54046445
This is actually true, compared to the lower cards the 980Ti has a better price/performance value. Yet amazing OC capabilities, 1400 MHz with no problem, 1500+ sometimes possible.
>>54046505
If you play on 2 or 4K you'll need 6 GB, and these cards are not ment for 1080p anymore.
I'm considering the 960 4GB.
Reasoning:
* Even if the Pascsl flagships are out in a couple months, it will take several more for the lower end models to be released
* I need it to run under OS X (hackintosh), so recent AMD cards are a no-go
* The 950->960 performance boost seems worth the price gap
* The 2->4GB boost also seems worth it considering how VRAM hungry recent games are getting
Am I wrong?
>>54042661
What's the best alternative to GTX 750 Ti, price doesn't matter, but something possibly 0db and no auxilialiry power required? Maybe wait for Pascal/Polaris options?
>>54049024
>OSX
>Games
I would stick with the IGP then.
>>54049024
I have the 960 4GB and it's pretty good. I got it a few months back. It does just fine in 1080p gaming, even on Linux, but I don't game that much anyway.
What I can tell you is that if you have even one good reason to not go AMD, listen to yourself and don't. AMD cards are for pure gaming builds running windows. If you want to do anything else with your PC it'll just give you needless headaches.
>>54049148
Sorry, should have been clearer. I dual boot, gaming is on Windows. I don't play on OS X, but the card still needs to fully work under it.
>>54049164
Thanks anon
just go back to /v/ you nigger. that card has always been shit in perfomance/price. a fucking 7850 was a far better buy.
the only good thing was
>muh power efficiency
which was going to shit as soon as you got some aftermarket 750ti overclocked/gayming version with default overclock
>>54049024
Just replaced my GTX 750 Ti with a 4GB GTX 960.
Seems to play games at 1080p well enough. Don't go above that, though.

No, it came out of demand for an 8800GTS that didn't require what felt like a million dollars to the average PC gamer
>>54046560
What?
>>54047800
Hey, I have no pc right now, should I buy a something cheap like a 750 and wait it out till the 1070, or should i just get the 970 now and wait a few years to upgrade
>>54046445
Got two @ 1400mghz, love them, had R9 290 before.
>>54042661
AMD based fucking HD 7950.

AMD was so based.
>>54049018
This
I have 2 for 4k, at the same OC you mentioned, makes my ps4 now look like I'm playing Colecovision.
i got a r9 270 for slightly more than the price of a 750, has over twice the memory bandwidth and is much faster
>>54045928
Yes. can't you even Google shit your own?
It's GM107.
>>54042661
The 360 is a better GPU though, as it actually gets performance gains from DX12
>>54046445
You forgot that it lacks any performance gain in DX12, and that nvidia will slowly degrade it's performance so you buy pascal
>>54044402
You greedy fucker
>>54047364
I have an MSI 280x and can play BF4 on Ultra and hit 100 FPS.
>>54047968
Recent versions are really power effective.
If it drew more than 75W my 300w PSU would already have shit the bed.
>>54044610
I have a 260x
feels indifferent man but I don't play anything that demands any more performance so I dont feel the need to upgrade

Wait, my 750Ti is a fucking gigantic monstrosity that takes up two bays, what the fuck?
>>54054795
Your manufacturer overcompensated.
It has a lower tdp than most cpu's.
>>54054795
Admit it, you only bought it because it looked bigger.
>>54044402
How do you get to this screen? I installed a r9 390, and went on can you run it. And for some reason it told me I had a 255. So I want to do this to check it out. I bought it brand new not used so I know Its the real thing.
>>54044402
I also want to check the temps of things.
Q6600 with a radeon HD7750 and 8Gb of ram, all in a business class machine. I don't think it gets any more based than this.
>>54055870
Here's the inside with the card.
>>54055870
I hope you've bsel'd it.
>>54056110
No, it's running 1066mhz bus, still a beast for what I want it for.
>>54055870
This with a 8800 GT/X
The Q6600 is still a decent processor, at least for light gaming and browsing
>>54055686
Google "Speccy", download and install
>>54055708
Download MSI Afterburner, this will give you temp readings and overclocking options.
Or simple software for just temp readings, GPU-Z or CPU-Z you can guess which one does what.

>>54042701
This.
Fucking based card. Runs even cooler than a gt 610 under load.
>>54058338
GT 610 is a piece of shit if you do anything more than watching bluray rips, I had one before the HD7750 and it heated up to 80c in games, my new card is way faster and maxes at 66C.
>>54058369
Point is that it's both faster, cheaper, and runs cooler than any available budget option. I picked one up from a friend who upgraded. He got a passive gt 730 and gave his 6570 to me. Fucking fantastic card.

this is literally the card i tell every budget builder to get for 1080p the benchmarks online say its slower than a gtx 960 but that is complete fucking bullshit ive owned both cards and the 960 shits the bed past medium/high settings while this fucker can do high/ultra and push 55-60fps
>dat 384-bit memory bus
>dat 3gb of VRAM
>dat 1,800 raw shaders
buy a used first gen i7 with mobo for cheap and then match that up with one of these and you have solid 1080p for next to nothing. And even though crossfire is limited in games that have crossfire support two of these drives 1440p, 60hz or a 120hz, 1080p screen just fine
7950/280 was a meh chip when in first released but after tonga replaced it and prices dropped simultaneously with drivers maturing and boosting its performance by 25% (I literally saw my benchmark score jump by EXACTLY 24.8% after the omega driver released)
>>54049024
are you fucking retarded? AMD is the exclusive GPU supplier for APPLE the tonga XT chip was first integrated into macs before it was released as the 380X there literally no fucking way Nvidia has better apple OS drivers than AMD when AMD its the only brand of GPU in every single apple computer
>>54049024

>>54060273
Macs have historically used nVidia chipsets when a dedicated graphics solution was used. Although recently more of a shift has been made towards AMD chipsets for the high-end, Apple has worked with nVidia hardware for much longer and thus has long since ironed out the majority of issues with the nVidia kexts and such.
