Asus GTX 750 Ti OC 2GB Review

The Asus box lists some of the main specifications along the bottom, and a picture of the cooler is visible on the left side.

Inside, the accessories are minimal. A software disc and ‘Speed Setup' documentation.

The Asus GTX 750 Ti 2GB is built around a black PCB. The cooler comprises two large fans which span the full length of the PCB.

This is the first GTX750 Ti we have tested which ships with two DVI ports on the I/O plate. The MSI and Palit cards have only been equipped with a single DVI port. Alongside these is a VGA connector, and a HDMI connector.

Bonus points for Asus.

This is also the only GTX 750 Ti solution we have tested that requires a 6 pin PCI e power connector for operation – all other cards get enough power from the slot. For some bizarre reason ASUS have positioned this PCIe connector right beside the I/O panel on the opposite end of the PCB.

We have to dock ASUS those bonus points already.

What does this mean? Well depending on the chassis design this means you will have to route the power cable either across the full length of the GTX 750 Ti PCB, or from below, up to the connector. We will be interested to see later in the review if this power connector really makes a difference to the overclocking capabilities of the hardware. Additionally, the Palit GTX 750 Ti StormX Dual doesn't need any additional power connector, and its supplied in a much higher state of overclock out of the box (1,222mhz v Asus 1,070mhz).

The Asus cooler is a similar design to the cooler fitted on the Palit GTX 750 Ti StormX – you can see this here. The direct touch heatpipe Twin Frozr cooler on the MSI version of the GTX 750 Ti is leaps ahead of either ASUS or PALIT cards. You can see this here.
