I am considering buying a gtx 745 as an upgrade to my 560 ti 1gb. 

What architecure is it? (I assume kepler, but cant find comfirmation of that)

Why does it have ddr3 vram?

How does ddr3 impact the performance

How much faster is this versus my 560ti?

I am buying it from a friend for 35$

The 745 is significantly slower than the 560 ti

the synthetics are a really good gauge for what the card is roughly going to be.

the fact that it was over 30% slower in dx9-11 is very significant. the only advantage is that its supports dx12 but that's not worth the massive speed downgrade.

That would be a downgrade, the 745 is newer but the 560 ti is much better

Most people are under the assumption that newer is better, but in some generations of cards its actually the opposite. You'd be better off keeping the 560ti until you save more to get something a little better.

It's Maxwell.  The reason it has DDR3 is because it's so low end that they didn't even bother using GDDR5.  The card wasn't even sold.  It was just something retailers put inside OEM machines to make them sound cooler.  Having an NVIDIA logo makes it sound high end.

 

As others have said, the 560 Ti is better.  Newer doesn't mean better.

 

If you want an upgrade, look for a used GTX 750 Ti.  You can get them for $50USD.  Don't use eBay though.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

I dont understans why its not faster

It has the same number of cuda cores, but they are kepler vs fermi, so they should be faster.

It has a higher clockspeed and more vram

Maybe it is slowet, but in some games, it gets more fps than my 560 ti at 1080p lowest

Anyways, I proably wont get it

Because it's a really low end card. I don't think there is any game where it would perform better than the 560 ti.
