spiers333 · Jan 23, 2015

I have a power supply of 400 watts and my set up is cpu amd fx 6300 radeon r7 240 2gb (shit) 8 gb of ram 1 WD blue TB harddrive 1 cpu fan 2 case fans GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 motherboard 1 cd drive and i was wondering which card should i get that my power supply can handle

Does your power supply have a 6-pin PCIe connector? You would need one for either card. The non-FTW edition of the 750Ti does not require external power.

yes

what psu do you have right now? Exact model.

junkeymonkey · Jan 23, 2015

it would be hard to choose a older card over the newer release card if for around the same price point ---- unless you see folks reporting a loyt of issues with the newer cards -- so for me I would look at the gtx960 for the newer tec. and features it may offer over the older 750 [opinion]

junkey, we all know the gtx 960 is better. Thing is if his psu can hold it.

Demosthenest :

is like a atx 400watt

Demosthenest · Jan 23, 2015

yeah, but brand, model...

Eximo · Jan 23, 2015

Not any new technology though. Just the same architecture built into a new design. Same lithography process.

If you want performance and overclocking, pick out a GTX960. If you want power efficiency for go for a standard 750Ti.

750Ti FTW no longer seems to have a niche with the 960 release.

Eximo :

of course i want the 960 but can my psu handle it? with my set up?

junkeymonkey · Jan 23, 2015

well figuring that the new 900 cards are so power efficient should not load the psu as bad ??? evga calls for a 400w so it all comes down to what pci-e plugs he has on his unit ?? that 960 needs a 8 pin

If your PSU is of decent enough quality, and has a single PCI-E 6 pin, a GTX 960 is actually a good choice. 400w is the minimum requirement. I would probably go with the Gigabyte, mini-itx version, as it uses a bit less power.

spiers333 · Jan 23, 2015

logainofhades :

can u link me to this card?

junkeymonkey · Jan 23, 2015

this one call for a 6 pin and 400w

overall it sounds like you need a real psu that way your not here asking these things and your covered - psu can be the hart of any system but so many guys go cheap and then there here with issue questions over that ?? go figure

nah i want the msi one

logainofhades · Jan 23, 2015

Reference solutions tend to run hotter, so I avoid them.

junkeymonkey · Jan 23, 2015

Reference solutions are just the base design from NVidia/amd and the manufactures like evga , msi or whoever improve off that .. better vrm, coolers ect.....

so it seems you want looks/hype over the rest ?? what does lighting have top do with the cards performance ??? far as I care it can be puke green with crap brown poke a dots as long as it runs cool and kicks a$$ on my screen .. I'm not looking at the card in the case I'm looking at what it puts on the screen [opinion]

junkeymonkey :

Like people that complain about red ram on a blue motherboard, even though the case doesn't have a window. :lol: I literally had someone, on here, go crazy about that. It was hilarious. Basically the setup was something like red ripjaws with an H97 pro4m, with a cougar spike. Now had it been a windowed case, I could see the complaint, but in a closed system, who gives a damn what color the ram is?

I was told red means danger [lol]
