Looking at a comparison website, I'm seeing it as something like 25% or 50% faster, which is not to be sneezed at, but it's not going to be a massive difference.

nVidia are about to announce high end cards tomorrow, those will be eyewateringly expensive.

G'day Igo,,,,

I guess there are GTX750 and then there are GTX750, my current one is a GV-N750OC-2GL, which was relatively cheap and the cheapest 700 series I could find at the time I got it, and the idiom: "you gets what you pays for" probably rings ever so true here.



I checked trough the comparison sheets and read quite a lot of review sites before settling on the new GPU, and the GV-N950XTREME-2GD is about the biggest Gigabyte bang that I can get for my very limited bucks.

Also the old board could not be SLI'ed where as this one can.

I would love to have been able to finance some awesome monster GPU's, but reality like gravity sucks

The 950 should help. And your 700W PSU should be fine too... nVidia has made huge strides in the last couple of years to the point that my GTX 960 idles at far less than any video card I've had in years. It also idles with no fans and I can even run HD video and other stuff without the fan spooling at all.

Its also a pretty solid card even in the latest games.

Hopefully it helps your issue out. Not sure what else to suggest that isn't here from one of the guys.
