Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti posing in front of the camera.

Gigabyte includes a compact and small / medium size case to protect the graphics card. As always, we found the eyes of an owl and used the colors blue and black as a flagship.

Perfectly packed inside: protective foam and anti-static bag.

Once we open the box we find:

At first glance we can see that the size of the Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti OC is small and compact. You have exact measurements of 20.4 x 14.4 x 4.2 cm and the PCB is blue.

Rear view of the graphics card.

It comes equipped with the dual-fan Windforce dissipation system with eleven blades each and a copper heatpipe. Unlike the reference fan, it will provide us with greater air flow, less loudness and, above all, greater freshness in the memories and in the graphics chip.

Reference GTX 750 Ti and other assemblers do not include extra power. In this case Gigabyte has considered it appropriate to add a 6-pin PCI-E connection as an auxiliary (it is mandatory for it to work). It is positioned at the top.

If we look at the rear connections we can see that we have DVI-D, DVD-D and two HDMI 1.4 connections that allow us to support 4K monitors with refresh rates of up to 60 hz.

To remove the heatsink, simply unscrew the rear screws. As we can see in the following images, the heatsink has a single copper tube that makes direct contact with the graphics chip. Also includes thermalpad for memories.

The card has 2GB of GDDR5 memory divided into four Hynix H5GC4H24MFR memory modules, which operate at 1350mhz.

View of the new Maxwell GM107 chip. It has a real speed of more than 1111 mhz of base and 1189 mhz with boost activated. Although it seems very high frequencies, it is logical due to its scarce 128-bit bus, which positions it in the mid-range.

The graph has three power phases and solid state capacitors with Ultra Durable 2 technology. This offers us better temperatures, less loss of performance and a higher quality of life in its components.

Test bench and tests

To evaluate the performance of the graphics card we have used the following applications:

3DMark11.3DMark Fire Strike.Crysis 3.Metro 2033Battlefield 3

All our tests have been carried out with a resolution of 1920px x 1080px.

What are we looking for in the tests?

First the best possible image quality. The most important value for us is the average FPS (Frames per second), the higher the number of FPS, the more fluid the game will be. To slightly differentiate the quality, we leave you a table to assess the quality in FPS:

FRAMES BY SECONDS
Frames for Seconds. (FPS)	Gameplay
Less than 30 FPS	Limited
30 - 40 FPS	Playable
40 - 60 FPS	Good
Greater than 60 FPS	Fairly Good or Excellent

Let's not fool ourselves; there are games that can have an average of 100 FPS. It may be because the game is quite old and does not require excessive graphic resources or that the graphics is the most powerful on the market, or we have GPU systems for thousands of euros. But the reality is different, and games like Crysis 3 and Metro 2033 are very demanding and do not usually give high scores.

Final words and conclusion

The Gigabyte GTX750 Ti OC Windforce X2 is a graphics card that touches the mid-range. It incorporates the new graphics chip of the Nvidia architecture: Maxwell GM107 and has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory at 5400 mhz of the Samsung brand. Includes solid and phase capacitors with Ultra Durable 2 technology.

The cooling system is about the Dual Fan Windforce. In our tests it has behaved very well playing: 29ºC in idle, 49ºC in full and just 34 dBA. The result is very satisfactory.

Regarding games, we have tested last generation games all on Full HD monitors . Battlefield 4 and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag we have obtained 36 FPS and in Metro Last Light 50 FPs. While in Benchmark 3DMark Fire Strike 1998 PTS and Unigine 27 FPS. One thing that sets it apart from the rest is that it has 2 HDMI 1.4 connections to connect a 4K monitor at a frequency of 60 Hz. Be careful, not everyone can do it today.

The great improvement over the previous architecture is energy efficiency. For example, its similar would be the GTX 650 Ti Boost has consumption peaks of up to 110W, while the GTX 750 Ti does not need more than 75W, which are what the PCI Express 3.0 port offers us.

In short, if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a graphics card, you want to have 2 GB of memory, which is fresh and with quality components. We have the Gigabyte GTX750 Ti over 130 to 140 € in online store, Now available !.
