EVGA GTX 750ti FTW -> Worth the money?

[Oddy]

As a student I simply cannot afford great big graphicscards. Therefore I was snooping around on the internet and I found the EVGA gtx 750ti ftw edition. It costs around 150 euro's and there are some youtubers who have tested this card and have given their opinion, but I still hope the Linuscommunity can give me the ultimate advice. Please help me guys. 

 

Down here are the specs of my pc:

 

Asus Maximus V Gene Motherboard

Intel i5 3470 cpu

8gb kingston valueRAM 1333Ghz DDR3 memory

Cooler master GX 750w bronze power supply

750 Ti cards are mostly a good option for people with a low budget and a bad PSU/small PSU.

I would recommend looking into the AMD option(s), which is the R9 270(x).

 

How much is that card where you live?

If you really want to stick with Nvidia, sure. It's a good card for the price.

750 Ti is a good card but I would get the PNY Enthusiast edition over the EVGA FTW, it comes higher clocked on the core and the memory out of the box. Dunno if it's available over there but the model number is VCGGTX750T2XPB-OC if you want to search for it.

I would save up 20 euro more and get a 270 https://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr927oc2gd. The 750ti is a good budget card but just for a bit more you can get the 270 which is the better choice. Also i think your cpu is a i5 4430, there is no 3440k

the r9 270x is around 180 euro's in the Netherlands (where I live ) but what is the biggest difference between these 2 cards?

Ah, I didn't know where you are from.

AMD is not as cheap in the Netherlands as in the US..

 

150 euros for that card is a pretty good price (hardware.info and tweakers.net have the lowest prices at around 153 euros).

 

The biggest difference is that the R9 270X is a bit better (better performance).

But it uses 1 or 2 6 pin connectors. It uses more power and runs a bit hotter.
