Hi! I need a plug and play gpu for older systems and I was thinking about the gtx 750ti. How much should I spend on one of these?

$20-$70 dollars but anything over $60 is a little much. Seems like there are some pretty good deals on ebay, wether for auction of buy it now.

Watch out for scams, the lower end 700 series cards like the 750Ti are really popular scam cards.

I agree. If it has a stock picture then its probably a scam. I saw a few though with actual pictures on a table or something for around 20 (Bid though so itll go up)

Even if they were legit I wouldnt buy them. I want a good bin. Msi twin frozr looks nice and I hear they are better binned.

Binning isn't as big of a concern with GPUs as it is with CPUs. Twin Frozr doesn't cool the VRMs as well as some others will, though.

 

I'd recommend something else such as:

Asus 750Ti OC: https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/GTX750TIOC2GD5/

EVGA 750Ti FTW: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAGSC7UE8544&cm_re=GTX_750_Ti-_-9SIAGSC7UE8544-_-Product

Gigabyte 750Ti Windforce 2X: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAGBA84Z4953&cm_re=GTX_750_Ti-_-14-125-824-_-Product

 

All three of these will be better for overclocking.

I still try to not use a gpu with a 6 pin power connector.

What's the cause for that? Do you not have a 6 pin connector?

That's even more reason to get a good PSU. If I recall correctly, some cards came boxed with Molex to 6-pin adapters. If you can though, definitely get a good PSU such as a CX450M.

Again, that 750ti wont sit in a particular system. I will test mostly oems with it which dont have a 6 pin connector psu.
