NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti 2GB Graphics Card (Pre Owned)

NVIDIA's GTX 750 Ti 2GB card was launched in February 2014 and was the first graphics card to use NVIDIA's Maxwell architecture. This card's biggest highlight was its impressive low-power performance, allowing it to run comfortably in systems with older, lower-wattage power supplies without the need for additional power connectors. This is why this card is still sought after for budget upgrades or older office/home systems.

This card uses the GM107 chip built on a 28nm process and features 640 CUDA cores. This card is still useful for light games, older AAA titles, video editing support, and multimedia tasks, though performance will be limited for newer and heavier games.

Performance and Architecture

The GTX 750 Ti has a base clock of 1020 MHz and a boost clock of around 1085 MHz, while some custom variants (such as the OC models from ASUS and MSI) come with slightly higher clock speeds. With DirectX 12 API and OpenGL 4.4 support, this card can run many modern games even at low settings.

In terms of power consumption, this card operates at just 60W, meaning most standard power supplies can easily power it without the need for an additional 6-pin connector. The recommended 400W PSU is sufficient, making it a very power-efficient card.

Memory and memory bandwidth

The card features 2GB of GDDR5 video memory, running at an effective speed of 5400 MHz over a 128-bit memory interface. This gives the card a memory bandwidth of approximately 86.4 GB/s, which is sufficient for entry-level gaming and smooth performance at 1080p resolution.

Display Output and Connectivity

This card offers Dual DVI-D, mini-HDMI, or full-size HDMI in most variants, and DisplayPort in some models. This allows for support for up to a triple display setup. Resolutions up to 4096x2160 can also be output via the HDMI port, though for real-world gaming use, this card performs best at 1080p.

The PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface makes this card easily compatible with any modern motherboard, whether it is an older Intel/AMD chipset or a newer one.

Cooling and Build

The card features a dual-slot FanSync cooling solution, which keeps the card cool and silent under light loads. The card's compact size (approximately 145mm to 250mm, varying by model) allows it to fit comfortably into smaller cabinets and SFF (Small Form Factor) builds.

Things to keep in mind during installation

Seat the card correctly in the PCIe x16 slot and ensure the retention clip is fully locked in. Most variants don't require an additional power connector, but if your model is the OC variant, be sure to check for a 6-pin connector. Since this is an older card, download the correct driver from NVIDIA's legacy driver list when installing drivers, as the latest driver versions may not be available for this card.

Who is this graphics card for?

The GTX 750 Ti 2GB is especially suitable for users with older systems who want to upgrade graphics performance without replacing the power supply. It's a reliable budget option for light games, older esports titles, video playback, and basic graphics work. For newer, heavier games or high-resolution gaming, users should consider a higher-end card.

 GTX 750 Ti 2GB Price (New vs Second-Hand)

*Note: This is an older card, launched in 2014 and no longer officially in production, so "new" units are difficult to find, and even if they are available, they are usually available at old stock/reseller prices. The second-hand market is the most common and economical way to purchase this card. Be sure to have the card's condition checked before purchasing.
