Hi,
I have both cards already (not planning to buy anything)

I gathered some information:
FTW 750ti:
pros
-really quiet & cool
-less power hungry

cons
-2gb vram

OEM GTX 760
pros
-3gb vram

cons
-loud (doesn't bother me)
-power hungry (doesn't bother me)
-cut down version of an original gtx 760

Did some benchmarks. Both cards seem to be winning/losing by 3fps in some games.
GTX 750 TI:
CINEBENCH:
~109.65

GTX 760 OEM:
CINEBENCH:
~110.17

I overclocked the gtx 760, and I lost over 10 fps in all benchmarks. (stupid 2x 6pin connectors)
750ti hit max 40c load (haven't cleaned in 2 months)
760 hit max 62c load (after I cleaned it out and replaced thermal paste yesterday)

WHICH ONE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND AND WHY

Obviously the 760, due to the fact that its newer. The 750 may be a Ti, but the 760 should be better in overclocking and performance. You just gotta watch the temps, that's the only real issue in terms of performance.
 
My opinion will be controversial and I'm sure in the minority, but I would keep the EVGA GTX 750 Ti FTW. The reason is that I like the much lower temps, I have an affinity for EVGA products (warranty & customer support). I don't know when you purchased your 750 Ti FTW, but it is undoubtedly under warranty as the Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti (GM107) came out February 18, 2014. Regardless, I recommend that you register it on EVGA's site ASAP.

What I would do: With that all said, if I had to choose, I'd keep the 750 Ti. However if I were to think outside the box, I would actually sell both the GTX 760 and GTX 750 Ti on Ebay. Both cards should net around $80 USD each. I would then combine that $160 with an additional $100 out of pocket and buy a GTX 1060 (6GB) for $250 - $260. That card is a monster upgrade above each of your GPUs. That's what I would do.

Don't know about warranty since I already broke the "Void if removed" sticker.
Not planning on selling the GTX 750ti, it's enough for me.

I might buy a computer and snag in the GTX 760 in there and then sell the computer. I already have a 750w power supply laying around with no use
