hey guys you're watching Jays two cents and I am of course Jay but who else would I be if I were somebody else that would be entirely weird but anyway recently Nvidia launched its brand-new 750 and 750 Ti graphics cards so that's what we're going to look at today gigabyte has sent me one of their 750ti windforce Edition graphics cards and it's saying it's pretty powerful for given what it is so let's go ahead and talk about what this is how it performs and maybe this card is right for you who knows okay so when it comes to the construction of this card gigabyte is widely known for their ultra durable series and that's exactly what they've implemented here on this custom PCB it does feature their ultra durable design which are solid caps upgraded compare MOSFETs and chokes and it's got their what they call their low RDS MOSFETs so the power delivery to the graphics card GPU is very very clean now what makes it also unique is the fact that it's got their windforce design on there but what I think is really interesting about this card and what makes it really cute it's the fact that it's so damn small but we'll get to that in a second when it comes to other features on the card of course it's supporting DirectX 11 point 2 API as well as it has 2 gigabytes of on-board gddr5 memory and has a 128-bit memory bus so the specs are incredibly impressive in fact I don't even know what the stock clock is on this thing it doesn't even say on the box with the stock clock is on this but obviously we'll check that out when we do the benchmarks and one thing I do find in kind of incredibly interesting regarding this graphics card is their video output options it has a DVI I a DVID and 2 HDMI you would find that there is no DisplayPort output which is kind of curious because of the fact that it does feature 4k resolution at 60 Hertz support but in order to get that resolution you have to use two HDMI outputs I don't know I don't know why they went that route I'm sure they have their reasons but there's no DisplayPort on this which would natively support 4k a little bit better anyway let's go head and talk about the physical properties of the card itself when you open the box everything will fall right out no I'm just kidding guys the driver discs in manual out on me there so anyway there they are there but as always I recommend tossing those aside and going on what did I hit tossing those aside and going over to their website and downloading the most up-to-date drivers just toss the software quite honestly now also contained on that driver disk is their OC grew overclocking utility once again you can grab the most recent version of that from their website as well now when you open the box you're going to find some accessories in here the cutest little 4-pin molex to 6-pin PCI Express cable again just toss that and you'll find the graphics card itself now when it comes to the graphics card I'm serious this is just the cutest thing I've ever seen it so adorable look it's so small they can only fit two of the fans on there you guys know typically there's three on here but we've got two of the windforce fans on here there it's just so adorable it's also got one copper heat pipe that expense extends on the top as well as the bottom here you will find that it requires one PCI Express six pin connector and you also have obviously your PCI 3.0 slot on there now on the top for connectivity you'll notice that there is no SLI bridge unfortunately this card does not support SLI so that's pretty much all we're going to talk about here when it comes to the specs of the card I mean you can see out there you do have your two HDMI ports and your two DVI ports so let's go ahead and stop talking about the card and let's go ahead and stick it inside my test rig and see exactly what kind of performance we get out of this gigabyte win force gtx 750ti so I don't spend a whole lot of time playing around with the mid and low end cards and let's face it for what it is given where is placed in the lineup the 750ti is a low-end card is a it's an entry-level budget solution as what it is now with the stock clock of eleven hundred and seventy-six megahertz missing overclocked to 1311 megahertz and what's kind of cool about that is the fact that it would have gone farther and I'm almost positive of that because I maxed out the sliders I couldn't go any farther but the overclock on this was just asking for more now it didn't do like fantastic in benchmarks or anything but I mean as I've mentioned before when it comes to benchmarks and things they're just a number they're just a number that some chart you know populated based on average frames per second of a synthetic loop of something that's happening so it doesn't it's not real world representation of what to expect gaming wise with a card now when it comes to battlefield 4 you guys know I like to stress the card as hard as possible so I always test the first test on the ultra preset and then I try and find where the card really fits in now this is naturally not an ultra preset type of card but I figured says this is a 1080p test you might as well just go ahead and see what it does now the card averaged 44 frames per second on Ultra with a max frames per second of 66 in a minimum of 23 now I'd say with the minimum it wasn't they must have only happened a couple of times because when I was playing the game I didn't really notice it in fact it wasn't even affecting my gameplay at all I was still owning in the game I was getting immersed in the game and I wasn't noticing flags or frame spikes or frame dips that were so significant that my that my brain being used to playing on high-end card stock oh this really sucks I mean it was obvious that that the average frame rate was lower but it was still very very playable and smooth the frame latency felt really good on the card now it wasn't actually measuring frame latency but my perception of it was that it was very very good so I wanted to see how it does at the recommended settings level for Battlefield 4 which happened to be a mixture of medium and high now we got an average of 68 frames per second 68 frames per second average when a minimum of 57 and a maximum of 94 averages that 1080p on a tiny little card like this never got any harder than 52 degrees Celsius never even heard the card it was so quiet that it got to the point to where I kind of stopped letting my benchmark run because I let it just kind of I have to hit a key bind and it will run for a minute and then it do a verge frames per second and then I just kind of keep it going and just keep hitting it in heat while I'm playing and on 64 player map parcel storm man these are the kind of numbers I was getting so this kind of flipped my world upside down because I'm realizing that cards are getting so much stronger with so much less resources necessary at least when you gaming at a resolution like 1080p now I'm not going to put 1200 PE or anything higher than 1080p at this card it's not where the card is aimed or placed in the market and if you're low if you're gaming on something lower like 10 1050 1600 by 1050 or even the 720p monitor my god you could play ultra preset maxed out and just be butter smooth but the super efficiency of this card using less than 80 watts of power only needing one six pin connector and if you're on a tight budget I would be sure hell-bent to find a better card for a hundred and fifty dollars 150 bucks in the past I would have said the r9 270 was a really good bargain at 179 but we all know cryptocurrency destroyed that market so the 750ti man it's no powerhouse but it sure as heck surprised me on how well it performed so guys tell me what you think about this card I mean I know it's really new it shows us that we have a lot to expect out of Maxwell if they're able to pull this kind of power out of this tiny tiny little really is no other way to explain it it is a tiny card so guys have been Jays two cents I hope this review has helped you make a decision if you were looking at buying this card and as always see you on the website and I'll see you in my next video
