I aked this question earlier, but I need more opinions.

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2042139/mid-range-graphics-comparing.html

I'm in Japan looking at mid range graphics cards. I currently have a gts450. I'm looking for the best price to performance ratio, not just the beefiest card. I'll post some links, but please use chrome for translation.

gigabyte gtx 650ti boost ($176.13)
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B00C66F47K/ref=aw_ls__1...

zotac gtx 660 ($183.73) w/FF14 code
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B00GXZH6F8/ref=aw_ls__4...

msi gtx 660 ($195.22) w/ Resident Evil 6http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B00EP6134C/ref=aw_ls__6...

galaxy gtx 750ti ($165.94)
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B00IKF9F6C/ref=aw_ls__2...

galaxy gtx 760 ($234.53)
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B00H4VS2PI/ref=aw_ls__3...

zotac gtx 760 ($251.61) w/FF14 code
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B00GXZH6LW/ref=aw_ls__5...

Please try to look at the links and each card's specs. I really appreciate everyone's help making this decision.

From research the GTX750TI comes in at the top of the charts as far price to performance out of your options. Under that is the 660, 650ti and then the 760. What game or games will you be playing? They are all a close race so you should narrow it down by performance to zero in on the winner.

In a performance standpoint, according to benchmarks it goes 760, 660, 750ti, and then 650ti coming in last

I play a lot of games, but I've been addicted to Skyrim for the last few years.

I always come back to it. I'll be getting the next es game when it comes out (not talking about the lame mmo). Right now I'm using a gts450, and playing mostly Skyrim. Video settings default to high, and I'm able to max at all the distance fades with no fxaa. I'd love to play it and the elder scrolls game all maxed out though. The 650ti I mentioned is a 650ti boost. Does it still have the lowest performance? Also, would the 750ti use the 2gb vram with a 128 bit memory bus? The 750ti I listed, is the lowest priced one I can find in Japan. What do you think about that card? It's a low profile version. Is it worth the $165?

david271749 :

The 750ti would use all of the 2gb of Vram since for ever 1gb it uses 64bits. So people that buy 4gb cards that have only 256bit doesn't do anything as far as improvements..maybe slightly..but very small. The 750ti is not a bad option and it has a quality low price. The 660 obviously outdoes it.

nashdes001 · Feb 26, 2014

u will definitely see difference with 750ti
its worth for that price

ohyouknow · Feb 26, 2014

I'd go 750TI as well. BTW what is your power supply?

TeamUSA · Feb 26, 2014

Yeah I agree with Nash. Personally I would buy the Asus GTX750ti. it's $170 in the US. AND..It only needs 60W. WIN WIN BUDDY

david271749 · Feb 26, 2014

So is this card worth $165?

http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B00IKF9F6C/ref=aw_ls__2

So you're saying 128 bit can use 2gb, but 256 bit won't use 4gb vram?

TeamUSA · Feb 26, 2014

david271749 :

Well that link is deff not english..and yes 128bit can use the full potential of the 2gb. The more bits the better. But yeah I wrote that wrong earlier.

david271749 · Feb 26, 2014

If you use chrome it will auto translate unless you're on an apple device.

TeamUSA · Feb 26, 2014

david271749 :

Yeah..I have to admit I use an apple for everyday computing..and my PC for just gaming. It's a virus thing. Keep everything fresh. Look up the Asus GTX 750ti. It's pretty good

david271749 · Feb 26, 2014

I did consider buying from the U.S. That asus was at $150 yesterday! I really wanted it, but shipping tacked on an additional $30. It would be $200 now. It's also about $205 in Japan. Lol.

david271749 · Feb 26, 2014

I don't know why the 750ti runs more expensive here. A lot of these makers are Japanese companies. Lol. Most of the big names like gigabyte, msi, and asus are priced at $185 to $210.

TeamUSA · Feb 26, 2014

david271749 :

You check ebay? You could probably find one new and closer to you. And yeah I was just going to say that isn't more than half of this stuff made in japan. lol

david271749 · Feb 26, 2014

K. Ebay japan sucks, but you were on the right track. I found a Japanese site that's powered by ebay. Thanks, man. Here's the site.
