Review: EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW ACX

Conclusion

GeForce GTX 750 Ti ushers in considerable focus on improving the performance-per-watt characteristics of modern graphics cards. The underlying Maxwell architecture is primed for small PCs whose PSUs struggle to power mainstream cards of yesteryear.

Yet Nvidia's partners have different plans for GTX 750 Ti, as we've now seen numerous examples of high-clocked cards bearing cooling found on graphics architectures that often need double the power.

EVGA is of the belief that some gamers still care more for performance than energy efficiency. The GTX 750 Ti FTW ACX is the best-performing card in its stable and beats the reference model by 10 per cent, rising to 20 per cent when overclocked further. Great looks and excellent cooling potential are obvious plus points, though we remain nonplussed by the lack of memory overclocking on this enthusiast model.

This would be an excellent card if the RAM was running at a Palit-matching 6,000MHz and price was reduced by £10 or so, thus making it stand out in the congested mainstream market. As it is, EVGA's premier GTX 750 Ti is solid rather than spectacular.

The Good

Primed for 1080p gaming
Looks great
Very cool under load
Three-year, transferrable warranty

The Bad

No memory overclock
A tad expensive
