I have an EVGA GTX 650 ti right now, one big reason is I have a mini case and length is an issue, as well as price.

Which would y'all recommend?:

EVGA GTX 750 ti
XFX R7 260X
ASUS R7 260X

or no upgrade at all? Will I see a big performance boost? I play Titanfall and SC2 and will probably be getting BF4 soon. The 750 ti is not much better than the 650 ti, in fact the 650 ti has more cuda cores than the 750 ti.

my rig:
EVGA z87 Stinger mITX
Core i7k Haswell
EVGA 750W PSU
8gb g.skill @2400mhz w/ CAS latency: 9
Samsung 120gb SSD
WD 300GB 10,000rpm Raptor HDD

you already have the 650 ti with a 750 ti you will get better preformance but it will not be huge something like 10 % and will pay 200$ or how mutch the 750 ti costs.i whould say stay with the 650 ti and go with something better when you have the money.you will give 200 $ for the same thing but with lower power consumption.

the performance improvement going from a 650ti to a 750ti will be about 25%...but still this is not enough of a boost when we are talking of such low performance GPU to justify an upgrade from one to the other...we are talking for example in BF4 ULTRA preset average FPS moving from 27 fps to 33 fps...that is not gonna make a noticeable difference in performance...a considerable upgrade to the 650ti would be for example a GTX 760 where the improvement would be about 95% and the difference in real games noticeable, we are talking here BF4 Ultra preset going from average 27 fps to about 53 fps thus making the game playable at those settings...

Thanks for showing me that. MSI is a good brand isn1t it? I have a VGA cooler, an Arctic Accelero Mono Plus, it says it is compatible with the GTX 760, but I wonder if that includes the GTX 760 gaming itx by msi
