The Asus box lists some of the main specifications along the bottom, and a picture of the cooler is visible on the left side.
Inside, the accessories are minimal. A software disc and ‘Speed Setup' documentation.
The Asus GTX 750 Ti 2GB is built around a black PCB. The cooler comprises two large fans which span the full length of the PCB.
This is the first GTX750 Ti we have tested which ships with two DVI ports on the I/O plate. The MSI and Palit cards have only been equipped with a single DVI port. Alongside these is a VGA connector, and a HDMI connector.
Bonus points for Asus.
This is also the only GTX 750 Ti solution we have tested that requires a 6 pin PCI e power connector for operation – all other cards get enough power from the slot. For some bizarre reason ASUS have positioned this PCIe connector right beside the I/O panel on the opposite end of the PCB.
We have to dock ASUS those bonus points already.
What does this mean? Well depending on the chassis design this means you will have to route the power cable either across the full length of the GTX 750 Ti PCB, or from below, up to the connector. We will be interested to see later in the review if this power connector really makes a difference to the overclocking capabilities of the hardware. Additionally, the Palit GTX 750 Ti StormX Dual doesn't need any additional power connector, and its supplied in a much higher state of overclock out of the box (1,222mhz v Asus 1,070mhz).
The Asus cooler is a similar design to the cooler fitted on the Palit GTX 750 Ti StormX – you can see this here. The direct touch heatpipe Twin Frozr cooler on the MSI version of the GTX 750 Ti is leaps ahead of either ASUS or PALIT cards. You can see this here.
Good card, but yeah no need for a 6 pin power connector. my own MSI card sits at 1,200mhz and doesn’t need it.
ull need it if gets unlocked or u get a bios mod
Sure would have like to have a R7 260X represented, while the extra Higher end 270X up taken out just to not complicate things. Your B-M don’t paint that great of picture, largely due to the higher setting. It just isn’t realistic for that grouping of cards to expect advanced setting on 1920x. Would rather see adjusted settings that keep the 1980x average more in the 35-45Fps “playable” range. I mean to drop £131.99 [$180 USD] and only get entry level seem unimpressive, sure the power is low but IDK.
Here’s my thinking it’s nothing more than an “entry gaming” card that’s basically the reincarnation of the HD 5670 from 4 years ago. Same basic “plug-n-play” card that permits “medium” settings on (what was at that time) the mainstream 1680x resolution. Today that resolution is clearly 1080p, but now the price has jumped like 110%… that’s not progress, it’s just a 5670 for today… and today entry gaming has an exorbitant price!
