Dear Readers, i am planning to upgrade a low profile dell optiplex desktop
Thinking of putting in a Gt 730 low profile cause of my 280 watt power supply.
Now i have the following question, i wanna overclock the gt 730 to increase the fps i could achieve, but i overclock the core only cause this will pull power from the 12 volt rail!
Now i found 3 variants with all 3 the same specs, 2gb ddr5 64 bit and same clock speeds:
1. EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 LP (€80)
2. Asus GeForce GT 730 2GB LP (€67)
3. Inno3D GeForce GT 730 2GB LP (€63)

Now i would like to fire up a discussion about this three variants.
Ofcourse go for the cheapest but does the Euro's give me a advance on the core overclock capabilitie taking into acount the voltage and core overclock.
Asus claims having better qualitie components which can resist the overclock better
Evga's overclock programma's seems to be the best of all 3
Inno3d is the newest on the market and the cheapest
It will be installed in a smaller case so tempature is also important, inno3d seems to have the biggest ventilator and it's ventilator blades point almost complete horizontal with the card itself which is good cause hot air can escape trough the system case just above the video card outputs
Maybe out of experience with the brands or what you think: which card is best?!?

If you overclock the 730 by any meaningful amount, it'll use as much if not more power than the 750. You could underclock the 750 and still achieve higher performance than the overclocked 730.

You don't say what the "Dell PC" is, it'd help to know what's actually in it. A typical Intel-based build uses less than 100W under full-load excluding the GPU and a GTX750 without auxiliary PCIe power connector will be around 70W with peaks at 100W. That's 170-200W, not 250.

I agree the gtx 750 ti is far more powerfull, but in a dell pc you have terrible psu's
I have 280 watt which is quitte greet for a low profile pc, but when you count the ampere's
3.3v has 10a
5v has 15a
12v has 16a
I use outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
When i fill in my specs with the gtx 750 ti it says
Load: 258 watt. Recommed 308 watt. 3.3v@9.7a. 5v@15.8a. 12v@16.4a.
With the gt 730 ddr5 i get this:
3.3v@9.7. 5v@14.8. 12v@14.5.
Thats why i ask for core overclock capabilitie there is power left on the 12v rail
