ASUS GTX750 Ti STRIX OC Edition review

The Asus GTX750 Ti STRIX OC ships in a very familiar box – featuring the red claw marks.

The rear of the box has more information on the product.

The bundle is rather skimpy – just a software disc and some literature on setting up the card.

The Asus Strix coolers are simple looking – plain matt black with red highlighting – related to the STRIX/OWL iconography. The cooler slightly overhangs the PCB as you can see in the image above right.

The card has HDMI, DVI-D and DisplayPort out.

Two big heatpipes are visible along the top of the card. Thankfully, and unlike the previous Asus GTX750Ti OC which we reviewed back in March – the GTX750 Strix OC does not need additional power from a PCI e connector.

ASUS are using a direct touch heatsink. Interesting to see they have coated the heatpipes for appearance once they become visible outside the confines of the heatsink area. Twelve large fins (more like ‘blocks' really) run the length of the card to help deal with heat. As we know the GTX750 Ti is a cool running architecture, so it will be interesting to see how this design copes under extended load situations.

A GPUz overview of the ASUS GTX750 Ti Strix hardware – it is built on the 28nm process. The GM107 Maxwell core has 640 CUDA cores, 16 ROP's and 40 Texture units. The 2GB of Hynix GDDR5 memory is clocked at 1,350mhz (5.4 Gbps effective) and is connected via a 128bit memory interface.
