Hi everybody,

I am thinking to buy a gpu near 150$. I am considering these two options. R7 265 looks like better to me mainly because it's using 256bit bus and can handle a lot of games. But GTX 750 ti i chill its with higher base clock and memory clock speed. Unfortunately Inno3d is not know for me and i am wondering how good are their products ? Besides i am thinking about : it is possible to overclock geforce gpu and take better performance over high end games ?

Thank you.

To be more precise i want it to be about 120$. Sorry just it's important every dollar. gtx 950 in my country cost about 190$.Besides i want to understant more deeply the differences about transmission of data.
Because r7 265 has 2 gb vram and gddr5 and same time is 256 bit on the other hand gtx has also 2gb vram and also gddr5. But they seem to have some differences in base clock speed and memory speed. Anyway even if gtx is better in this last factor, the 256bit bus can provide 2 way faster the transmission of information. Than why the price is almost identical ? I mean inno3d is about 125 $ in my site and r7 265 is about 130$ ?

Hi. What i have found so far was that inno3d ichill 750 ti is something like enhanced version of 750ti because ot it's base clock u to about 1200 MHz vs 265 which is around 920. So that's one obvious difference and if i considerate all the good reviews about 750ti, it's normal to start asking " OK why ?"
The best lead i have found about gtx 750ti is that it's using the new nvidia architecture - Maxwell. So with this architecture the nvidia engineers decided to up l2 cache from 256 kb to 2MB which is somehow huge change. So after that they decided just to keep the bus 128 bits, not 256, because this cache stuff is reachable almost instantly because it's very close to the main gpu processor - there is no need to make bigger highway to the cpu if there is a constant flow of energy just behind the corner. And probably that's why even more expensive nvidia cards with uses 128 bits instead ot 256. Of course always is good to have bigger bus, but looks like that in case of nvidia this will make their gpus even more expensive as we can see for their top tier gpus. Other hand is to compensate the smaller bus with bigger amount of shading cuda cores, but that's other thought.
In final words, in more of the tests r7 265 have a little better performance vs 750ti. The both cards have similar clock frequencies but r7 265 have more shading units and same time more bus width. But nvidia takes the ball when it comes to their new cards with 256 bits base on their maxwell tech, looks like that they are the kings on the market. That's of course my opinion so if u want you can commentate too.
Thanks for the help and bb.
