Hi there!

Just thought I'd weigh in here. First up is this thread http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-750-ti-review,3750-10.html which shows that the 660, for almost everything, still out performs the 750ti and I thought a link to a slightly less expensive 660 might also be in order. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125443 that card will easily outperform the 750 Ti in almost every single real world test that this very website could throw at it.

The 750 Ti lacks much of an ability to overclock, is slower, has lower frame rates and more frame lag than the 660. In fact, the only thing it really shines on is it's performance per watt. So if you are concerned with saving a few pennies on your...

That is a pretty decent GPU. Should be more than powerful enough for Titanfall, but it is a bit early to know what Watchdogs is going to require. I have a GTX570 which is at a similar performance level as the 660 (stock, no OC) and can run most games at 1080p without any problems on high settings. The issue I run into with newer games is not with GPU usage, but the 1.2GB of ram on my card. Having 2GB of ram should prevent those issues on your system.

If gaming higher than 1080p/1200p or if you are picky about keeping at a full 60fps at all times, then you may want something better. But for most gamers, this is a great card to get.

That's a somewhat overpriced GTX650Ti (non-Boost). For around $160, you can get the new GTX750Ti from an online retailer such as Newegg.com. This card is 19% more powerful than the GTX650Ti (per recent article here at Tom's), and will run on any PSU able to run a HD7750.

So if you are concerned with saving a few pennies on your electricity bill, then the 750 Ti is the card for you. If however you want to play games at higher frame rates and with more detail, then I'd suggest the 660 any day.

Thank you AdmiralDonut and everyone else for giving their thoughts to the thread. I can now make the informed decision to buy this card. :D

P.s The only reason I am buying from the best buy website is because I have a best buy gift card that I thought I would put to use on this card.

Thank you :)
