ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

Confused between the following options :

MSI:
http://www.amazon.in/MSI-N750Ti-2GD5-OC-Graphics-Card/dp/B00I5ZYI5A?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_2&smid=A8GHI324ZDG2Z#productDetails

ZOTAC:
http://www.amazon.in/ZOTAC-GeForce-Graphics-Black-Orange/dp/B00IFZ547Q?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_1&smid=A3007A7Z3GDJK2

GIGABYTE:

Factors Consider:

> Don't want to upgrade the PSU ideally since already stretching the budget to buy the GPU.
> ZOTAC seems to offer the highest warranty ~ 5 years (2 + 3 additional).
> ZOTAC card has Mini HDMI instead of standard one (minor gripe not really an issue currently coz my only monitor is a VGA one).
> Price is more or less similar for all 3 product so would like to go the card/manufacturer who provides best support (Software & ASS)
> Read some article about a new NVIDIA architecture (pascal)coming , so would it be worth the wait to buy a card at similar price with newer architecture ?

1. You cant SLI in your motherboard and your GPU
2. The GTX 750Ti is the best you can go with
3. They are all very similar The support is from nvidia except if you mean for RMA issue's ETC. All of them Are good and since they are the single fan edition and you wont OC get the cheapest one

4. Dont wait for Pascal Because the Low end options will surely be released a bit after than summer or even more so its not worth it

5. Setting resolution to a lower one than your monitor supports can make the image a lot worse so You should aim to game at worst in your monitor's native resolution unless you are using a CRT Monitor :D

There can be minor to very significant differences between cards of the same model line. "Non-reference cards may include no improvements (i.e. EVGA SC series) to substantial ones. These differences are greatest with the top of the line cards and diminish as you drop down in the price scale. Up thru the 6xx series, Asus held the title with regard to quality and performance ... MSI and Gigabyte now compete for 'top dog' status.

Over here in the US, the 950 makes infinitely more sense as the prices are the very close, the PSu requirements similar and performance of then950 is way better. In your neck of the woods, I imagine, that prices remain high for the 950. For me, depending on the specific model chosen, it would be MSI > Gigabyte > Zotac ... then looking at the models, i'd factor in which had the best clock speed.

As for waiting for pascal, the best thing about its arrival for you will be that the prices of the 7xx and 9xx series will drop significantly.
