Gtx 750ti ftw or 750ti gs

cheapbloke · Mar 7, 2016

Should i get the gtx 750ti ftw for display port and hdmi or a gainward 750ti gs for more power?

Mr Kagouris · Mar 7, 2016

They are practically identical in performance. My recommendation would be to get an R7 370 instead as it is a much better card at the same price point.

DustinV · Mar 7, 2016

well obviously, an R7 370 is amd's terrible version of the gtx 950 (which is why its so cheap, because it performs bad)
the R7 360 is amd's version of the 750 ti, and the 750 ti performs better, 750 ti is perfect for systems with bad or low watt power supplies

750 ti costs $100
r7 370 cost $120 and consumes more power

Mr Kagouris · Mar 7, 2016

The R7 370 generally costs the same. Only the cheapest 750 Tis are cheaper and not worth the 20$ less.

DustinV · Mar 7, 2016

This guy is so wrong its funny, the more expensive models you are paying for more fans, not more performance

Mr Kagouris · Mar 7, 2016

Really? As you yourself said, the R7 370 has performance comparable to a GTX 950 (not exactly but close), and it ranges from same price to a little bit more expensive depending on where you live. Furthermore, OP asked about the FTW 750 Ti. Sound like one of the 100$ models to you?

DustinV · Mar 7, 2016

The R7 370 will get about 5-10 fps less than the gtx 950, hence why is cheaper than the 950, but more expensive than the 750 ti.
pls tell me how this $100 model performs worse than the more expensive ones, id like to see you try, literally has same clock speed, or even faster than the more expensive 2 fan models, where you are literally paying for a 2nd fan that you dont even need

Mr Kagouris · Mar 7, 2016

Of course it won't perform worse. The only difference is in cooling which will only affect noise levels and overclocking. But that's not the issue here, OP asked specifically about those two models, meaning the R7 370 is within his budget. That's the whole point. Since he asked about those two cards, he could get the much better performing R7 370 for the same money. We're not talking about going overbudget. Also "The R7 370 will get about 5-10 FPS less than the GTX 950"? 5-10 FPS less where? What settings? Different games will give different results, and this is especially true with DX12 Async Compute in the picture.

DustinV · Mar 7, 2016

You cannot say the R7 370 is in his price range as the 750 ti costs $100 vs $120 for the r7 370

as for gpu comparisons

Mr Kagouris · Mar 7, 2016

I'll repeat this again. He asked about the FTW 750 Ti. Thus he can afford the FTW 750 Ti. The FTW 750 Ti is about 125$. The R7 370 is about 125$. Thus he can afford the R7 370.

DustinV · Mar 7, 2016

Didn't see the "FTW" after 750 ti, yes at that price point its not worth getting a 750 ti

cheapbloke · Mar 8, 2016

Yes i know but i sort of want the optimisation and things like that but ill see

Mr Kagouris · Mar 8, 2016

What "optimization" do you speak of?

cheapbloke · Mar 8, 2016

Mr Kagouris :

Mostly like how some games are more optimised on nvidia hardware if im right but keep in mind that i currently have an old 9600gt in my pc so idk and also i guess shadowplay might be useful

Mr Kagouris · Mar 8, 2016

This goes on a game-by-game basis and the same is true for AMD. For example Shadow of Mordor is known to be more optimized for AMD cards, and both Far Cry Primal and the new Hitman game definitely look like they run better on AMD cards, either because of optimization or because of DX12's Async Compute feature which only AMD cards benefit from at the moment.

Current nVidia cards are still good but taking into consideration several factors including DX12's Async Compute and the fact that nVidia has purposely tanked the performance of older cards in some instances to promote their newer ones, I cannot recommend getting an nVidia card if you expect any kind of future-proofing.

Finally, no matter how "optimized" a game is towards nVidia, the R7 370 will perform better than the 750 Ti.

cheapbloke · Mar 8, 2016

So should i really go for an r7 370? And if yes can you suggest me a good model?

cheapbloke · Mar 8, 2016

I might be able to get this gtx 950

This is more based so on biases, though, than factual information. If anyone on here wants to make an argument, use sources.

Mr Kagouris · Mar 8, 2016

If you do get the R7 370, model doesn't really matter, just get the one which you think looks best. It's too low end for better cooling or higher stock clocks to have a significant impact. I'd just recommend one with two fans for quieter operation.

As for whether to get the GTX 950, as I said I honestly can't recommend getting nVidia cards for gaming if you're on a budget. History has proven just how "future proof" nVidia cards are when a new series comes out versus their AMD counterparts. And honestly, with DX12's Async Compute (which is so far being implemented in triple-A games quite frequently for something some people (usually people that like nVidia a lot) call an exotic feature) the R7 370 might even reach the GTX 950's performance.

cheapbloke · Mar 8, 2016

I do know that the r7 370 has a higher wattage and things like that but can you show me some benchmarks between the gtx 750ti ftw and the R7 370 pls? and can you tell me if there is some sort of amd equivalent to nvidia's shadowplay?

cheapbloke · Mar 8, 2016

And i also wonder if i can run an r7 370 alongside a h81m motherboard and an i3 4170 on a crappy 500w psu?

DustinV · Mar 8, 2016

http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R7-370-vs-GeForce-GTX-750-Ti
if they cost the same get the r7 370 and yes it will work with your build

Mr Kagouris · Mar 9, 2016

Higher wattage isn't really an issue with GPUs that low end so I wouldn't worry about it. Here's a bunch of benchmarks for you.

As for Shadowplay, AMD doesn't have an equivalent but there's programs that work just as well.

cheapbloke · Mar 9, 2016

Can you maybe show me an example please? And i heard that msi has its own for its cards but im not sure if thats actual on amd cards

cheapbloke · Mar 9, 2016

I am officially blown away by those benches but i really dont know now if i should get the gtx 950 i have shown earlier since it is about the same price as this card and if im right it is better fps wise but have any of you guys experienced the r7 370 or the gtx 750ti or 950 or all of them?

Gtx 750ti ftw or 750ti gs
