Is the GTX 750ti worth it over the regular GTX 750 Superclocked version?

The regular GTX 750 Superclocked version seems to be a little known gem overshadowed by the more well known GTX 750ti. In the few reviews I've seen that compared the gtx750 SC to the 750ti, the 750 was maybe 1-2 fps behind, and I'd attribute that to it's 1gb vram compared to the 2gb vram on the 750ti


I want to breath life into an old core 2 quad pc I have sitting around, it's an old dell but has a 375w PSU in it and from the research I've done the dell PSUs from that period were pretty good.


So, does anybody have experience with the 750 SC version? It seems to match the regular 750ti, and only the 750ti SC version barely beats it. For saving a bit of money, it seems pretty good, although only having the 1gb vram would probably hurt it.


It would be really nice to finally try out shadowplay too. If it performs good, I may even get an nvidia for my main pc


It would be on an old 1440x900 LCD tv I have sitting around, or even hooked up to 1080p later on, I'm fine with turning the AA off on 1080p too.

Here's one of the few sites that actually reviews the 750 SC

the TDP is only 55w and doesn't require a power supply 6pin plug either

What would I honestly be missing by not getting the "Ti" version?

More memory 2,048 MB vs 1,024 MB 2x more memory
Higher texture rate 82.64 GTexel/s vs 32.6 GTexel/s More than 2.5x higher texture rate
Better floating-point performance 1,728 GFLOPS vs 1,044 GFLOPS More than 65% better floating-point performance
Slightly higher effective memory clock speed 5,400 MHz vs 5,012 MHz Around 10% higher effective memory clock speed
Higher memory clock speed 1,502 MHz vs 1,253 MHz Around 20% higher memory clock speed
More SMX units 5 vs 3 2 more SMX units

This means that the GTX 750Ti will be more powerful if they're @ stock clocks (or if you overclock both to the max).
The GTX 750SC will be a very good option if you're not...

The GTX 750SC will be a very good option if you're not overcloking as it's already overclocked by quite a bit, that's why it can match the GTX 750Ti.
