Which GPU is better?

CaptainCrape · Aug 8, 2015

Hello, I am building a PC and I am sure about all the specs besides the GPU. I am either going to get a EVGA Nvidia GT 740 Superclocked $GB VRAM DDR3 or a EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti SC 2GB GDDR5. Which is better? They are both about the same price, except the GTX 750ti only has 2 GB VRAM. Here are my other specs:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition

Case: Rosewill Dual Fans MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case FBM-01

MotherBoard: ASRock FM2A88M-HD+ Socket FM2+/ AMD A88X/ DDR3/ SATA3&USB3.0/ A&GbE/ MicroATX Motherboard

RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY Blue HX318C10F/4 DDR3-1866 4GB/512Mx64 CL10 Memory

HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200RPM SATA3/SATA 6.0 GB/s 64MB Hard Drive (3.5 inch)

Power Supply: CORSAIR CX series CX430 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Operating System: Windows 10 64-Bit

The 750 ti is considerably better, the 4gb of ram in the 740 is DDR3 not GDDR5 found in the 750 Ti, the DDR3 is extremely slow compared to the GDDR5.

That Mobo will not work with that processor. The Mobo is a Socket FM2+ and the processor is a Socket AM3+. To answer your question, the 750Ti with GDDR5.

750Ti will be the better option. Even that 2GB is quite excessive on 750Ti.

GTX 750Ti 2GB DDR5 > GT 740 4GB DDR3.

Bigtime.

With those GPU's you wont need 4GB of GPU memory. Go with the faster card with less (yet faster) memory.

Ok, Well what if I got the GDDR5 Version of the 4GB GT 740?

The 750 ti is still a much better gpu, even with less memory it has a much more powerful core, showing much better performance.

BrandonYoung · Aug 9, 2015

The only case where I would personally recommend going the 4GB 740 route instead of the 750Ti 2GB route would be to run higher resolutions with no high performance rendering capacity simply as running multiple monitor desktop (non-game/3D intense) style apps.

If you game or perform any 3D rendering go 750Ti.

If you want to browse the internet, write or edit Word documents via 3 high resolution monitors, go 740 4GB.

CaptainCrape :

750ti is still better, they have a faster gpu, any memory over 2gb is irrelevant, it wont do anything on low end and mid range cards as you wont be dialing in high enough settings to make any use of the extra ram. You will likely be using mid-high settings on a 750ti to keep good fps, so it wont likely even use much past 1gb vram. To keep a gt740 frame rates up you are going to be using low-medium settings as its a slow gpu that can barely handle demanding games, not at 1080p anyway. Anything more than 1gb vram on low end cards is completely pointless, a marketing gimmick for people who don't know any better.
