EVGA GeForce GTX 750 with G-SYNC Support 1GB GDDR5 128bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, HDMI,DP Graphics Card (01G-P4-2751-KR)

edit: I should inform potential buyers about the EVGA $10 rebate on this card. When you follow the links to the forms, it is FOR CANADA ONLY! I complained about this and reported it to Amazon, but they have not fixed this! Don't buy based off the rebate if you are from the U.S.! EVGA will refuse to honor it!review:I am a long time PC gaming veteran, and I typically buy upper mid to high end cards. Recently my GTX 580 (a $500 card at the time) gave up the ghost after 3 years. It was a beast, and tore up everything it touched. Luckily, it was one of the last of the lifetime warranty cards, so I was able to get an RMA. That said, I didn't want to be 2+ weeks without a way to be gaming, so I bought this GTX 750 as a temporary holdover card, then to be relegated to backup card status when my 580 comes back to me.This is the shocker ... I may just leave this 750 in the PC. Why? because it's doing everything I want from a gaming video card, and it does so QUIETLY and with very little power draw (55w, compared to 244w from the 580). These new Maxwell GPU's are amazing. These are some of the benchmarks I've managed from this 750 ... but first, my specs:intel i7-920 CPU in turbo, 2.8ghz16 GB DDR3 1600 mhz RAM27" Samsung S27C500H monitor @ 1920x1080, 60 hzNvidia 334.89 WHQL drivers (16x Anisotropic Filtering forced on in the nvidia control panel)the games:Batman Arkham City DX11 benchmark, settings maxed, Physx = normalmin 25 fpsmax 58 fpsavg 41 fpsBatman Arkham City DX9 benchmark, settings maxed, Physx = normalmin 39 fpsmax 100 fpsavg 68 fpsCrysis 3, medium/high hybrid settingsmin 38 fpsmax 55 fpsavg 45 fpsX-plane flight simulator, default Cessna 172 aircraft43 fps inside 3D virtual cockpitHUD only view, 47 to 90 fps with most settings on high, a few on medium.The following games gave me 60 fps sustained, with vsync/triple buffer on* Diablo 3, completely maxed settings* Mass Effect 3* Orcs Must Die* Skyrim* Kingdoms of Amalur* Assassin's Creed RevelationsThis is a $130 card, running on my 5 year old motherboard/CPU. This isn't supposed to happen! This is truly the best bang for the buck card I've ever encountered. This, and it's big brother the 750 Ti are the fastest cards available that don't require an external power supply.If you're on a budget, I HIGHLY recommend the GTX 750!

It's good for its price and will run almost anything well. I have overclocked it using EVGA's utility on the driver CD, and I've seen about a 10% increase in framerate using 80 degrees temperature target, +85MHz clock offset, and +400MHz memory offset, and stock voltage while not ever seeing the temp go over 67 degrees; I didn't see any worthwhile difference beyond that. I have tested this GPU in a few games on 1360x768 for framerate, and here are the results without overclocking:Planetside 2, mid settings, w/ vsync:Not battling:Max: 60Avg: 60Min: 60Battling:Max: 48Avg: 36Min:27Unigen Valley benchmark, Ultra settings 2x anti-aliasing:Max: 47Avg: 42Min: 32Minecraft max everything:No shader mods:Max: 320Avg caving: 120Avg outside: 90Min: 60W/ SEUS mod basic, still max everything:Max: 72Avg caving: 58Avg outside: 48Min:32Turning on Advanced OpenGL increases frames by about fifteen.

It feels like I just went 88mhp on my Delorean. This review comes from someone who has been using a refurbished dell desktop (small box) with 2gb ram, dual core processor, 250gb hd, and a AMD Radeon4700/4800 series running on XPfor 8 years! I had to purchase the video card couple years ago for (40$) just so I can play 2D games, such as Maplestory and Gunbound, and 3D games such as Lunia, Gunz, Combat Arms, League of Legend, and not Hearthstone and I can barely play even in the lowest quality. So it was time to move on.I blindly bought a new dell desktop with i5 processor, 8gb ram, integrated 4400 graphics and 1tb hd (an incredible upgrade), and I said to myself, if I am upgrading everything, I may as well upgrade the video too. I was looking around 50-80 dollars, entree level video cards. According to a Web site, a GTX 730 might just do the job. But as I was looking, an extra 30-40 dollars wont hurt, as this new computer will probably last me another couple of years. So I went for the GTX 750, which is a solid graphic to many people and extremely good for me. I am currently using a dual display, however, I had to swap the power supply to 500w, but I believe 430 will be more than enough.To test the card myself, I can play all my games in highest quality without a problem, no lag, everything goes smoothly. I was never the Steam players, or anything like that. But I gave it a try to see how it was. The game could handle Call of Duty: Advance Warfare in low and a little in medium. It can handle Walking Dead series in good quality. It can handle most games in medium quality, which is more than enough for me given my total budget of around 650. I would recommend, if you have friends that would help, to buy your own parts and build it. It can be so much more efficient. If I had done so, I would have enough to buy a GTX 770!But overall I just wanted to have dual or even triple screen, have the capabilities to play new games, practice Photoshop, Aftereffects, Final Cut Pro and other applications. I would rate the graphic card a 9/10. It is more than enough to do many things for the price under $140!
