hey what's up guys Jays $0.02 here bringing you another graphics card review that seems to be a lot of those shooting around the internet lately but we're going to take a look at another gtx 750ti but this time it's the EVGA 750ti for the win Edition so let's go ahead and see if this thing really is a winner by giving it the old fist in the rear I mean Jay is two cents alright so here we go guys we're gonna once again take a look at another little powerhouse graphics card coming in at well under $200 in fact at the time of recording this thing is 179 dollars so going to go ahead and put that out there now but it is the EVGA gtx 750ti for the win edition this is a one step beyond their super clock and this is the AC ex card I'm gonna go ahead and unbox this thing here it kind of it comes with some interesting packaging it's in a bubble wrap and it's got some plastic wrap in there but we'll take a look at the accessories real quick once again it does have a 4 a 2 x 4 pin molex to 6-pin plug that's because this does have an axillary power a 6 pin PCI Express power slot for an additional 25 watts of power allowing for an even better overclock on this card you do get your user manual here installation guide driver disk again I recommend tossing that and installing one I just hit what I'm always hitting my computer with that stuff I take one for the team but they also give you a poster here and I'm gonna go ahead and unfold this I love the fact that EVGA gives you posters with their boutique cards and I say boutique loosely actually it's just their their upper end spectrum of their cards like the for the win I just really hate that they have to fold them up to get them in the box because then you're dealing with all these creases but look at that guy the art of the game innovation inspiration if you know who this guy is please tell me is I don't have a clue looks like a Centurion of some sort really mean one to now because they ended up getting two fans on there with their ACX cooler they had to extend the bed just a little bit so that they could fit that as you can see right there it is all black PCB and they do they did have some improvements on here to the vrm power delivery and the auxilary power and because of the cooling and how strong the cooling is as you can see for such a tiny card they do give you a huge cooler on there with a dual copper heat pipe to give you excellent cooling and in fact when I told EVGA the card arrived I didn't even know I was going to get a for the win edition I thought I was going to get an SC which was the short one with the one fan so when this guy showed up by email EVGA I was like whoa hey thanks guys I can't wait to check this thing out and their response was go ahead and overclock the hell out of that thing and you should get some pretty good results so I'm pretty excited about that now as you can see right there the cooler does extend the entire length of the card but what I think is really neat is two things one you have a black IO plate cool I like the black I don't know if that's new for this card or fall before the Windsor that way but again you have a DVI you have an HDMI and you have DisplayPort so this thing does natively support 4k at 60 frames per second through that DisplayPort way to go other than that there's not a whole lot to say on this the stock clock on this quite honestly I have absolutely no idea I think it's 1176 I could be wrong let's see if it says on the box here anyway quite honestly it's not that important what it is right now because we are going to find out what our max overclock is going to be obtainable on this little guy and let's see if this guy is a little guy or if it's a big guy in sheep's clothing or a wolf in sheep's clothing or however that saying goes whatever let's go ahead and let's go ahead and drag the slide over and get over to the benchmarks okay so the performance of the card was nothing short of well non surprising the 750ti performs exactly where I thought it would in fact it trades blows with the GTX win or the GTX the wind force Edition which I have sitting right there on my desk from gigabyte now where does the ACE DX pull ahead or the for the wind pull ahead well it pulls ahead in benchmarks and it pulls ahead in the auto setting here on battlefield 4 giving us an average frames per second on auto of AD 9 frames per second that is quite a bit higher than the gigabytes average 68 frames per second on the auto settings now when it comes to the ultra preset before the win edition was actually one frame per second lower on the average which is well within the margin of error for you know different things happening within the system so I would put it right on par with the gtx 750ti from gigabyte now it does have a custom PCB on there and more importantly it has the custom cooler on there which is their AC X or their their double fan solution that is where I feel it has a fatal flaw and here's why the stock profile for this fan is 42 percent it can't go below 42 percent now that wouldn't be a big deal because 42 percent of say 1500 rpm is a lot slower than 42 percent of 5000 rpm now I have no idea what the max rpm is on these fans I didn't really even bother to look because the moment I powered on the system I noticed holy this card is way too loud I mean way too loud it is louder than the testbench and my gaming rig while they're both on at the same time all I can hear is the constant of the graphics card and I went whoa something's not right this is not like EVGA to have a massively loud card like this so I went on Google and good old trusty Google as well as the EVGA forums and I did find over there where Jacob had put out a BIOS update that is supposed to alleviate some of the fan speed or fan noise issues now I applied the update and I didn't have any difference whatsoever so it's possible that my card shipped with the newest BIOS I didn't even check I just flashed it anyway absolutely no difference so the 42 fans 42% fan speed on there is way too aggressive when the card is at idle when the card is gaming fine I'm okay with that but at idle it is absolutely too loud and that is where I feel this card has a fatal flaw the ACX cooler is a is a terrific cooler for cards that demand more cooling than this in fact this card never got hotter than 51 degrees Celsius the fan never even ramped up past 42 percent even when overclocked and even while gaming and that's even while overclocked to fourteen hundred and one megahertz so it's obvious that they put too aggressive of a fan in there I did see an article with a nun article but a post where they wrote about how there are voltage requirements you know with the card and with the exhilarate it takes and stuff well so does the gigabyte and it doesn't have that problem so I really hope that they address this and maybe somehow even in a new revision put slower motors in these fans it's not necessary when I'm gaming at Ultra preset overclocked over voltage you know put the core voltage slider as far as it would go there's no reason to have these fans blaring like they are at idle because they didn't even ramp up at overclocked while gaming so it obviously means the cooling threshold was well within like I said fifty-one degrees Celsius is all that we got on this so anyway that's its fatal flaw and I was thinking about putting this card in my wife's build but unfortunately it's a deal-breaker for me because it's just far too loud which I really hope that ebj can dress somehow because it's an amazing card and I love the looks of it and it's EVGA and everything about it is awesome except the noise what is going on with the noise alright guys I'm gonna get on out of here tell me what you guys think about this card if you own it do you suffer from the same noise problem with the AC ex-member this is the AC AC X not the SC with the single fan these have two fans on there so tell me down in the comments how you guys are feeling about this card and if you own it and go ahead and take the discussion to Jay's two cents calm and hit me up on Twitter like somebody's blowing up my phone right now they really want my attention so I've got to go I gotta go do some stuff so guys as always I will see you in my next video you
