I have a sapphire radeon hd 6790. Im looking at a possible upgrade to a palit gtx 750ti stormx oc for the main reason being to conserve power because my bills are killing me. My question is: In terms of gaming, does the 750ti outperform or at least be on par with the 6790? I dont want to downgrade the performance but I do want to save more power. Thanks for your inputs.
Upgrade question: Need help from experts

What's your system? It's unlikely that swapping to lower power/performing parts is going to save a lot of power/money. (Unless you go really low power.) I've seen articles where people show that leaving a typical system on 24/7 vs shutting it down after 8hrs of use will only drive your bill up by $60 a year. (USA $ and power rates.) Per month that's a difference of only $5.

Points? What do those equal in frames? I don't play points, I play games.

This is an abstract method/approach of comparison . GTX 750 ti is a real gaming card . As for the frames : 5620/3060=1.837 , which means 83.7% more frames per second .
The mobo has x16 gen 2.0 PCI-E slot and the processor can handle GTX 750 ti

The overall system is very old and bad. Sorry. Very inefficient CPU, and PSU. Added cards will also draw a bit more. From a performance standpoint I'd consider upgraded just because of that. Yes it's a quad core, but one that was so bad it could barely clock at all. And used a lot of power. I'd bet the new A10 APUs are faster then that CPU is. You might want to considering buying a new board, CPU, and PSU that is 80+ gold rated. I doubt you'd recover the money in power savings, but you should see some AND get a big boost in speed depending on the CPU you get. If the performance is fine for you then you might want to consider just getting a better PSU. I know that model is rated for 80%, but I don't really trust it.
