Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (DirectX 9)
The Empire of Tamriel is on the edge. The High King of Skyrim has been murdered.
Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel.
The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons.
Our settings for Skyrim
Here is a video our testing run through, for your reference
Well here is a case where the R7 260X is able to show a small performance win over the GTX 750 Ti. Both the R7 265 and the GTX 660 are significantly faster than the GM107 part as well, leading by 40% or so.
So, obvious first
So, obvious first question:
Any improvements in scrypt performance w/ Maxwell? 😉
There is some, but not a
There is some, but not a whole lot. We are looking at doing some testing today on the currency applications but the lack of optimization could be a hold off.
Thanks Ryan, can’t wait for
Thanks Ryan, can’t wait for your results!
Oh, the simple days when one could choose a GPU based on its game performance … I don’t miss them, not one bit.

Not much in the way of graphs or pages of analysis but 265 KH/s and about 300 KH/s overclocked. Of course they were probably limited in the same way Ryan was when overclocking.
Thanks for the link, 265 kH/s
Thanks for the link, 265 kH/s at (or below) 75W don’t seem half bad!
Any chance this card supports
Any chance this card supports hdmi 2.0? is there anything coming out soon that will?
Just confirmed that the
Just confirmed that the GeForce GTX 750 Ti does NOT have HDMI 2.0. They won't talk about future products though…
Are you comparing it to a
Are you comparing it to a plain 650 Ti or a 650 Ti Boost in the article/benchmarks?
This is the NON Boost GPU.
This is the NON Boost GPU. The GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost is EOL so I didn't think it should get in over the still available GTX 650 Ti.
Yes, but I was interested
Yes, but I was interested since I purchased the 650 Ti Boost and looking at the Non Boost versus the Boost 650 Ti it looks like the 750 Ti isn’t much over the 650 Ti Boost. (From an upgrade and price/performance perspective.)
Power consumption is nice to see, but not too much concern in a 650 Ti or 750 Ti size card, more of an interesting when the bigger cards come out.
If they did not EOL the 650 Ti Boost the comparison/benchmark charts comparing it to the 750 Ti would look a little weird I think.
Maxwell 2nd level high end
Maxwell 2nd level high end should be very interesting. I’m hoping for Titan Black performance at $500 and 200 watts.
I have a couple of
I have a couple of questions.
Is it absolutely certain that if this card had a dp output that it would support g-sync? or is that an assumption at this point?
When overclocking, does the mem or gpu clock increase affect the performance more?
Finally, do you have the power numbers on the overclock?
Thanks.
G-Sync support is confirmed
G-Sync support is confirmed yes, as long as a DP connection is present.
GPU clock definitely affects the perf more.
Ah, I didn't make a graph of power under the overclock! But power jumped from 184 watts to 202 watts (full system).
Hmm, I find it interesting
Hmm, I find it interesting that it scaled down so well when the Kepler architecture did not (with power consumption) I am really wondering how it scales into enthusiast territory considering these tweaks improved mainstream so much.
“One feature that the GTX 650
“One feature that the GTX 650 Ti card does NOT have is support for SLI which is quite disappointing.”
I believe you meant the “750”
Thanks, fixed!

Ryan, long time viewer here.
Ryan, long time viewer here. Great intro into maxwell. I just wish you guys still included bar graphs because the line graphs can be hard to compare one card to another if there is only say a ten or twenty percent difference .

I have had this feedback a few times. We are going to integrate that again soon.

Ryan, please update this with GPU-Z 0.7.7. It reports the GM107 specs correctly.

Done!

No, if you are running 560
No, if you are running 560 Ti's in SLI, I would wait.

hi so im looking into a $500- $600 maybe a little more and was wondering if i should get this card or should i wait for the amd r7 265?
Ryan how do you make those
Ryan how do you make those “FPS by Percentile” charts in Excel? I’d like to do the same on my own, using fraps
Thanks
Any Cuda testing like Blender
Any Cuda testing like Blender Rendering? Would be nice to see performance improvements from Computing side.
I don’t agree with your
I don’t agree with your remarks Mr. Shrout. In the Skyrim, Metro Last Light and Bioshock Infinite graphs, 750 ti’s frame latency rises higher than 260x in the frame time variance graphs while they are at a clear tie in Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4. You also did not comment on the frame spikes in Bioshock.
So what would you say 570 or
So what would you say 570 or 750?
Looking to make a Dell
Looking to make a Dell OptiPlex 780 SFF into a Steambox. The system accepts upto 16gb ddr3 (4x4gb sticks), It is currently running a q6700 core2quad (95w). I have been looking at using this card, however the psu is 234 watts. The 12v rail though is 17A so assuming looking at 204 watts for the motherboard, ram, video card and cpu fan. The only other components hooked in are a bluray laptop drive and a 320gb 5400rpm 2.5 hdd from a chromebook underneath it. I did a live talk with dell and confirmed that they sell a hd 7750 1gb ddr3 video card for it you can order and add. So my question is, would a q6600 bsel modded to 3ghz, 2x4gb sticks of ddr3 and a gtx 750ti with that bluray drive and hdd work? If not I have a E8400 CPU I can use instead which would reduce the wattage down by 30watts since its rated 65 instead of 95.
