Video card superior to 750Ti but with similiar low power draw

[winr]

I seek a video card superior to 750Ti but with similiar low power draw

If I am correct, 1050 Ti has low power draw ??

TIA

You are correct. The GTX 750Ti consumes 60Watts and the GTX 1050Ti comes in at 75Watts.

How superior would you need such a card to be to the 750ti, what are your present/past needs? That's part of the problem too.

I owned a 750ti for a while and even if it hadn't been faulty, it would still have had a very short time in my computer thanks to The Witcher 3 and XCOM2, which even on its successor the R9 380X, initial versions of those games chugged on. I can't imagine what they would have been like on the 750ti at that time.

And is it power draw you're definitely interested in or the cooling noise level? While I loved my 750Ti because its fan noise levels didn't raise hell like its predecessor the 5770, my 380X's fans are by default off when it's doing 2D stuff, and while the fans are definitely audible when gaming, it's nowhere near the 5000RPM ceiling that the 5770 would hit. If I had to guess, I'd say the 380X fans do 2000-3000RPM at worst.

If you're going for maximum power savings, the 1030 (GDDR5) is more-or-less equal to the 750ti, but only uses ~30W.

For best-in-class, non-6pin required, the 1050ti is the best you can get currently.

The new 1050 3GB seems like a good compromise between those two extremes if you're looking for that. It has the slight drawback of only having a 96bit memory bus, but it seems to be coping fine in practice.

For the ultimate performance per W, the 1060 6GB is the best you can currently get. Just don't get one of the factory OC models.

There are of course AMD alternatives, but they generally tend to consume more power unfortunately.

Yeah 1050 ti if you really need something with the same draw. I'd question why you want that exactly. If it's no 6-pin then I'd continue to say 1050 Ti. But if its just a vague notion of heat/noise/energy efficiency, then I'd skip the 1050 Ti and go to a 1060 6GB.

Thanks guys 🙂

I should have posted more info, I could use a card with 6 pin connector as well

I am putting together another PC and need a video card for it, wanted something faster than my current 750 Ti

The new card does not need to be twice as fast or such, just a nice improvement

And not a power hog ...lol

Play only shooters, BF1 and such

GTX 1050ti consumes 75W and doesn't need a 6pin adapter. Good choice if you want to get away with okay'ish performance in new games at 1080p for about $170 to $200. This card used to cost $150, but prices are still a bit inflated.

GTX 1060 6GB consumes 120w and generally needs a 6pin adapter, though some AIB partners have opted for 1x8pin adapter. This is the optimal card that you can get without breaking your wallet and it will allow you to play most games at max settings at 1080p. It costs about $300 to $330, used to be $250-280, but card prices are still inflated due to crypto mining.

If you are willing to undervolt, consider a higher-power model, like NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060.

With the 6 GB model: 0.762 V, 1708 MHz, 88 W in FurMark (implying lower power in realistic gaming). To match the FLOPS, a 1050 Ti needs 2846 MHz (clearly impossible).

Have you seen those for sale yet anywhere? If they're $100 and under, like a 4GB RX 550 or 560 card, could be a good deal.

No, unfortunately. A few stores take pre-orders here (at pre-order prices), but no word on when they'll be available.

I don't know how it looks in the US.

Which is a shame honestly. The 3GB model makes for the -perfect- HTPC card. If you haven't noticed there are even a few low-profile models available. Which makes it even more perfect... 😀

RX 560, about +90W.

Skip the 1050 Ti. 1060 6GB is the better card, and is very efficient. I wouldn't get hung up on power, its just not that big of a deal as long as your PSU has the capacity. Skip getting another low end turd and spend a little more on a card that wont be an immediate compromise.
