first up on the chopping block we have these 750ti from game wood welcome back to tech yesterday this biryanis you coming back to you guys today with a review of the 750ti golden sample from game wood now two things really excited me about this product and I'm gonna tell you straight guys straight away I was really impressed with this graphics card one was that Maxwell I got to try the Maxwell architecture and see how good it was in terms of power efficiency and two I got to try a card from game with my first ever graphics card from game wood and man was I impressed but anyway let's get on first of all with the build quality and the features of this graphics card then we'll move on to some benchmarks and a conclusion so first up as soon as I unbox this graphics card I was immediately impressed with the build quality I'm gonna pick the card up shook it around and there was absolutely no rattling at all everything felt really solid and well put together the card weighed in at about 500 grams and man was I am just impressed with the cosmetics of this graphics card I mean it looks really damn sleek on the top here we have minimal styling just a nice clean and black look to the card it's got two eighty millimeter fans on the top here which sound very quiet in operation it has minimal branding with the game wood logo on the top there a little G and a gold and sampled GS in gold with geforce gtx 750ti written on the side there so that's the front of the card moving over to the rear of the card we have a VGA connection here which personally I wish they'd just get rid of it I never use it personally I mean do any of you guys ever use a VGA connector if so let me know in the middle here the most important that's the dual DVI port which will support 120 frames per second on the left here we have a mini HDMI port which if I was that could take something about this card I'd be protecting this because personally I don't have a mini to HDMI cable I usually use Full HD full size HDMI cables and if you use a mini H the problem is if you put in a mini HDMI connector you then will maybe hit B hitting a dual the DVI port if you're using both the connections so that's something to keep in mind there on the rear of the currently as you can see though it is a full dual slot sized cooler as well so if you are installing this card into a mini ITX rig be mindful of that as I wasn't moving on to the rear of the card we have here a black PCB and man it's a full rich jet black so it looks really good we've got the aluminium heatsink covered in a nice overlay with a black little metallic heatsink there so again this is made of metal on the back here not plastic which is something I really like and suddenly the game would have really paid attention to over there on the side here you can see there's they've used a nice very clean looking aluminium heatsink as well and boy does this thing do a great job of cooling I could not even get this card past 65 degrees Celsius in like the middle of summer at 30 degrees Celsius ambient temperatures which kudos to game wood it cooled really well and this was an auto fan speeds I didn't even touch the fan speeds and that was with my max overclock as well so that was really good let's talk about the overclock so before we get into the benchmarks this graph is card Wow as soon as I pulled out of the box I've hooked it up and it was the fastest ever greatest card I've had that's will burn out of the box that's overclocked so high this thing ran at 1,300 and 33 megahertz without me even touching a thing and that was just so damn impressive I mean that's like almost 30 percent more than a reference card and you don't even have to do anything and the temperatures don't get affected and the power drawer wasn't really that much extra as well so really damn impressive the noise minimal at best you couldn't even hear it it's the same as my GTX 780 lining but that's a 1.5 kg cooler on that thing so the Maxwell the build quality this card game would get a big thumbs up anyway let's move on now to the benchmarks where I do have the overclocked results and the reference results however keep in mind that the overclock I only managed to pour an extra forty two megahertz on the core and only an extra hundred megahertz on the memory so I couldn't even get that much extra out of this card that's how aggressively overclocked this thing was from the factory which is really good anyway let's move on now to the benchmarks so the first benchmark here we have is Crysis 3 and this is done at Ultra at 1080p I think both the 750 Ti and the r9 270 are both sort of 1080p graphics cards if you want to step it up to in for TP then you manage to look at a 780 or an r9 290x or something like that but let's look at the results here the GTX 780 lightning overclocks just for reference but that managed to score 60 7.2 frames per second reference speed it's got sixty point two for now the gtx 750ti overclocked has scored twenty four point seven two when it wasn't overclocked and that was when it was basically only overclocked an extra forty two megahertz because that's all I could get but when it wasn't overclocked it's got twenty four point four eight and that was damn impressive out of the box it even managed to come into the territory of the r9 270 which got 26.5 two out of the box have the r9 270 did overclock a lot better it did scale better and it got up to 30 frames per second when I overclocked that one thing to keep in mind though the 750ti uses a lot less power than either of these two graphics cards and it also runs a lot cooler than either of these two graphics cards so let's move on now to the next benchmark we have here and that's the battlefield 4 benchmark ultra 1080p the overclocked sorry I've got these mixed up the GTX 780 overclocked scored 150 3.2 frames per second it just blitzed again the 750ti though out of the box this was the most interesting thing it's got 69 point 5 2 and it managed to compete with the i9 270 in battlefield 4 which only scored sixty five point eight four however when we overclock the r9 270x scored 72 point eight eight and the overclocked 750ti only scored 71 point two eight but one thing to keep in mind was that this 750 Ti was sort of competing it was trading blows with the r9 270 which is something I didn't expect at all let's move on now to the next game I'm sorry next game in this benchmark and this is UniGene Valley and they look at the FPS scores here the GTX 780 lightning scored seventy three point eight frames per second that was just huge this is extreme HD preset as well 750 Ti measure score twenty four point nine and twenty four point two when it wasn't overclocked at the r9 270 did beat it in this in this particular benchmark by a look by a bit and that was thirty one point four when I was overclocked thirty four point two moving on now to the scores they're pretty much correlated to the FPS so the nothing really big there the GTX 780 scoring a beast score there are 3,000 and the 78750 ti scoring 1041 and the r9 270 scoring 1431 though i overclocked let's move now to the 3d mark 11 performance preset tests and the 750ti here it managed to the GPU school these are the main schools are gonna be looking at because the cpu score and the combined scores tend to relate to well they can to have a little variance but the GPU scores are generally pretty solid so the 750g I've managed to score around about 6,000 the r9 270 when it was overclocked to scored over 8,300 which was impressive the online 270 at reference scored seven thousand five hundred seventy and the GTX 780 overclocked man that thing was a beast at sixteen thousand two hundred twenty one reference speed that was fourteen - eight - so overall these scores here represent generally the I guess the max graphics power these things have and the 750ti it does impress I mean considering how little power it uses so last up here we have power consumption and this was done during UniGene and I just tested it with my power meter from the wall we see here that the 750 Ti did look impressive I mean the the graphs here it's got 234 watts it used 234 watts from the wall when it was overclocked the 780 lightning managed to score 542 which was pretty damn huge I mean this thing loves to chug power when it's overclocked the r9 270 overclocked that managed to chug 341 watts now this is total system of total power consumption from the system I'm using which is a 4.6 gigahertz overclocked Haswell CPU we've got four sticks around we've got and Intel and I see on that motherboard we've got all my USB ports are pretty much but you've been used and I've got three hard drives in a DVD drive as well so you can see there that the 750ti in this case it doesn't shine as hard as it would if it was coupled with a pentium or and two sticks of RAM on a mini ITX rig so that'll be that'll be the base of my conclusion anyway so let's move on now to the conclusion in conclusion I don't even know where to begin this thing as knocked my pants off and it almost knocked my underwear off too but this thing Wow out of the factory 1,300 and 33 megahertz the most aggressively overclocked graphics card I've ever pulled out of a box next up the build quality my god this thing is really well built it's quiet it's cool and it just looks awesome as well the last thing I guess when you couple that with the Maxwell architecture it really does impress I mean this thing had absolutely next to no power draw when we compared it to the other two graphics cards I mean couple this thing and I'm gonna be doing this in my next video where I'm coupling the Pentium and I'm pairing the Pentium against the G to the four 670 K but this thing when you put it in a mini ITX rig it shines and it uses little to no power a couple it with low power draw Pentium and you get yourself one efficient gaming machine especially for 1080p gaming now another thing that impressed me was the I mean it's only $150 and it was pretty much trading blows with the r9 270 in some cases I mean an r9 270x I would expect it to beat this by up quite a bit however an r9 270 this thing was shooting in the same ballpark which was actually really damn impressive so kudos to game wood for releasing an epic card I'm gonna be recommending these things a bit more in the future probably a lot more in the future the golden sample name is legit and keep in mind this was a retail sample I did not get sent this from anyone it just Wow impressive anyway so in conclusion I will say this is a highly recommended by it is a bit long however so if you're fitting it in some mini ITX reach you may wish to check out the slides I managed to measure it in at about 22 centimeters in length so keep in mind it is quite a long card however it is well built and it is hell worth the money anyway if you liked this review please give it a thumbs up and if you haven't really subscribe to tech your city become a yes-man today anyway if you have any questions about this Graham Scott let me know in the comments below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can anyway peace out for now I'm gonna be bringing you guys the Pentium video very soon I know you're looking at looking forward to it anyway and I'll give you guys a sneak preview the Pentium runs really well with the 750ti anyway anyway pays off for now and let's roll that out drawer bye
