Nvidia GTX 750 Ti 2GB Maxwell Graphics Card Review

eTeknix checked out the Nvidia GTX 750 Ti 2GB Maxwell Graphics Card

A quote from the article:
Maxwell is finally here after months of speculation and rumours?. but for most of our readers it probably isn't the ?beast? you?ve been expecting. Nvidia is not starting the launch of its new architecture at the high end, as we?ve come to expect, but instead Nvidia's Maxwell arrives today in two forms, both of which are mid-range, the GTX 750 and the GTX 750 Ti, the latter of which we are testing. Maxwell is continuing Nvidia's longer term and ongoing objective of improving power efficiency in their GPUs. In fact Nvidia have come a long way in this regard because this is the first time we?ve ever seen a mid-range Nvidia card with no supplementary power needed ? both Maxwell cards being launched today require no additional power connectors other than the PCI Express bus.

However, before we take a look at the technical details surrounding Maxwell and the GM107 GPU that forms the basis of the GTX 750 Ti and GTX 750, let's first go over the specifics of the new GTX 750 Ti. The first question is where does the GTX 750 Ti fit in to Nvidia's current range of products? The answer to that is actually quite simple. The GTX 750 Ti quite logically replaces the GTX 650 Ti, and GTX 650 Ti Boost. It gets a bit strange with the GTX 750 though because the GTX 750 will be placed above the GTX 650, which doesn't get discontinued. That means Nvidia's current mid range consists of three new cards and two old ones as the diagram below demonstrates.
