[Answered]Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti

Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti

I am looking at a new graphics card and the 750Ti seems to be a nice affordable graphics card going for around $170.

Does anyone know if this is a good graphics card?
How will PA perform with it(Does anyone have this card)?

Answer:
Ordered a GTX 760

if you can throw down ~60$ more the gtx 760 is an awesome card, I get 60fps with everything maxed until late game

What cpu do you have? It should be a good card, but as I'm sure you've heard, PA is more cpu dependant.

I have 4 i7's

I ordered a GTX 760
Ill see how it works after I get the hard drive for my new computer in(I hear those hard drive things are important)

Just got my rig started up w/ gtx 760. 60fps until really late game! **** yea!(Beats my 5fps any day)

They make them run, but not better. Unless you go super expensive solid state. Then it increases the data aquisition speed, but not the play speed. As in, windows will load in 2 seconds, you will never see the loading screen for most games like kerbal, minecraft, ect. The computer will be able to access hundreds of megabytes of hard drive data in a second instead of pulling files over the course of 12 seconds or more.

glad I could help!

I also got a ssd hybrid drive. 8 GB ssd cache. Game is so fast and awesome right now. No KO lag either

Boy, you should try having two SSDs in a RAID 0 array I've actually never used a hybrid drive before, but I hear they are really good.

yea. With a hybrid drive and windows 8, everything is really fast. I boot up in 5 seconds, the motherboard splash screen takes up most of that time.

just curious - what is your cpu clocked at and how many cores? also what is the model #
like I have an i5 2500k at 4GHz quad core

4 Cores

Did you overclock it at all? I have all 4 cores running at 4.8GHz stable. (Note: Intel Burn Test causes a thermal crash, so I'm going to declock to 4.7GHz sometime soon, even though I'll never use the TDP (77.7w) in real life.)
Also, what is the model of your GPU and RAM?

I have not overclocked my CPU's yet because they seam to be doing great with everything at just 2.8 GHz.

GPU is an Nvidia GTX 760 2GB MSI edition.

Ram, I duno, I have 8GB of it though

I sure hope you have good RAM to make use of the SSHD you have. It sure does matter!

According to task manager it has a speed of 1333 MHz

Ok, check to see if it has X.M.P. Profiles in the BIOS, if so, it could make it run faster. Mine's 2133MHz (CAS10) on X.M.P., but it also pulls 1.650v instead of 1.5v. If you care about a few extra watts

The low frame rates you are getting late game have nothing to do with your CPU and GPU. It's server side limitations. See my attached screenshot. Late game my frate rate is terrible. but I have less than 50% GPU and CPU utilisation. Therefore the bottleneck is somewhere else (i.e. the game servers).

That might be true, to check that hit ctr+p and check the server stats. If the server Sim is still running at 10fps then it could be bandwidth or the client.

If bandwidth is the issue then usualy my fps is all good, but the units are jumpy.

With my old computer it was the graphics card (Was using a AMD 4000 series)

Server-side or bandwidth cannot affect client FPS for sure. Funny thing, but FRAPS (if you using it) it's one of known programs which degrade FPS in PA.

If you have such weird behavior try to run game without Steam or try it without any other software running and you'll find out what cause problem for you.
