GeForce GTX 750: Overview | Specification (Specs) | Testing- Is it Good for Gaming? – In the second half of February 2014, NVIDIA announces two graphics cards built on a new graphics architecture Maxwell 1.0. These are models GeForce GTX 750 Ti and her junior solution GeForce GTX 750. Our today’s review will be devoted to the last model.

The new Maxwell microarchitecture was named after the father of classical electromagnetic theory, mathematician James Clark Maxwell. Its main advantage over the previous generation of Kepler is that it maintains high performance while significantly reducing power consumption. Thus, the new GeForce GTX 750, being an entry-level gaming graphics card, has a maximum power consumption of only 55 watts.
Let’s compare the technical characteristics of new products:
GeForce GTX 750: Specification (Specs)
Details | GTX 750 | GTX 750 Ti |
Architecture | Maxwell 1.х | Maxwell 1.х |
Technical process | 28 nm | 28 nm |
transistors | 1870 million | 1870 million |
Core frequency | 1020 MHz | 1020 MHz |
Boost Core Clock | 1085 MHz | 1085 MHz |
Number of shaders | 512 | 640 |
texture blocks | 32 | 40 |
Memory bus | 128 pages | 128 pages |
Memory type | GDDR5 | GDDR5 |
Memory | 2048 MB | 2048 MB |
Power consumption | 55 W | 60 W |
Maximum temperature | 95 C | 95 C |
As can be seen from the table, the difference between the GTX 750 model and its older “sister” is a reduced number of shaders and texture units. The performance of the novelty in 3DMark Vantage is slightly above the level GTX 650 Ti.
Now let’s look at the game tests * on the number of FPS
Games | GTX 750 | GTX 750 Ti |
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt | 14 fps | 20 fps |
GTA 5 | 16 fps | 20 fps |
Battlefield 4 | 34 fps | 36 fps |
Metro: Last Light | 15 fps | 17 fps |
*Maximum settings at 1920×1080 resolution

And in conclusion, we can add that NVIDIA’s recommended price for the GeForce GTX 750 is $120.
