MSI N750Ti-2GD5TLP Gaming Graphics Card - 2GB GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0 x16 - Perfect for PC Gaming, Video Editing & 4K Streaming

I doing a quick edit to add some additional info...The MSI low-profile GTX750Ti graphics (N750TI-2GD5TLP) card is a good choice if you are dealing with a PC case that will only accept half-height PCIe cards.Gigabyte also has a nice low profile GTX750Ti based card (GV-N75TOC-2GL) that has a slightly different, but equally nice set of features:Gigabyte Graphics Cards GV-N75TOC-2GLEach card has it's own unique advantages, so here is a quick run down...Both these cards will offer similar performance. Technically the Gigabyte card has a higher boost clock spec at 1111, but my recently purchased MSI card is running right out of the box at a stock boost clock of 1150 without any overclocking, and holds that boost very nicely even under load. So MSI's published specs are probably just a little out of date.Both cards should work in both full height PCIe slots as well low profile slots (include both tall and short brackets) but if you have a case that will accept a larger cards you might want to check out other more powerful options.Although both cards are based on the Nvidia GTX750Ti chipset, there are some important differences:-- The MSI Card provides a standard old-school 15 pin D-Sub VGA Analog Video port, plus a single HDMI port, plus a single DVI port, for a total of THREE video ports, and the specs say the card will support TWO monitors at the same time. If you need to connect to an old-school analog VGA monitor port, then you will definitely want to go with the MSI Card, as the Gigabyte version lacks this feature.-- The Gigabyte low profile card lacks a VGA port, but has TWO HDMI ports, a DVI Port, plus a single newer style Display Port, which is a much more up to date selection of video interfaces, which could be important to you if you want to run multiple monitors. In addition Gigabyte claims that their GV-N75TOC-2GL low profile card supports up to FOUR monitors (all four ports at the same time). This is a nice feature but you will want to keep in mind that all those pixels do add up, so don't count on gaming on four 1080 monitors at the same time, because this will stress your GPU like a 4K monitor - and although the GTX750Ti chipset works fairly well up to 1080, it doesn't have anywhere near the processing power needed to maintain reasonable frame rates at 4K. If you do try this, expect 7 to 10 FPS with lots of hicups. On the other hand, you might get four screens working reasonably well if your application isn't too processing intensive. So if you just want to spread your spreadsheets out across four monitors, that should be fine - but don't count on high end gaming on 4 x 1080 monitors because that just isn't going to happen.-- The MSI has dual compact cpu style fans, where the Gigabyte has a single very slightly larger compact fan.-- The MSI card uses a different slot arrangement in the full height and low profile configurations. The full-height configuration uses a single slot full height bracket that hosts all three video connectors - while in the low profile configuration it uses two smaller brackets side by side. This splits out the VGA connector on a ribbon cable to a separate slot. If you don't need the VGA connector (or mod your case to relocate it) then you can get by with a single external PCIe slot in both the full-height and low-profile configuration (internally though you still need about two slots worth of space to clear the fans). Because of this arrangement, I was able to install the MSI card in my super compact Mini-ITX case which only offered a single external slot - where the Gigabyte card simply would not fit in that particular case.-- The Gigabyte GV-N75TOC-2GL card uses a simpler, but slightly less flexible arrangement in which both the full height and low-profile brackets are the same double slot width, the full height bracket is just taller, so for either low profile or full-height PCIe you need a dual width external slot with this card (two slots side by side).-- The MSI card is a bit more expensive at this point in time - not surprising I suppose, since dual fan cards generally cost more than single fan GPU cards - but both card offer almost identical boost clock performance - so with good case ventilation, allowing both cards to run at full speed, you shouldn't see much of a difference in performance.So, after all that info -- how well will these GTX750Ti based cards perform???-- Not bad at all actually, in fact surprising well.When paired with a reasonable CPU like an I3-6100 (~$115), and 8 Gigs of RAM, both these GTX750Ti based cards will punch well above their weight and deliver gaming performance that is on a par with (or even slightly better than) the current high end dedicated gaming consoles like the Xbox One and PS4.If you find this hard to believe, just search GTX750Ti on YouTube, and you can find lots of examples with detailed comparisons of frame rates in various games.Most of the other available low-profile PCIe GTX 700 series cards (like the GTX720) just do not have the graphics processing power to play current games with good frame rates and quality, but the GTX750Ti is a 'real gpu' that has a respectable 640 graphics processing 'cuda cores', and though that does not exactly make it a high-end graphics card by modern PC gaming standards, it gets the job done.By way of comparison, the GTX950 has 768 cores, the GTX960 has 1024 cores, and the new cutting edge GTX1060 has 1280 cores - Unfortunately, each of these more powerful cards costs more, draws quite a bit more power - AND NONE OF THEM ARE AVAILABLE AS A LOW-PROFILE PCIe CARD.This is mainly due to thermal limitations, because high performance GPUs work REALLY HARD, and as a result generate a fair amount of heat - and where most high end GPUs generate 120 Watts of heat or more, the GTX750Ti has a more moderate rating of 65 watts. Not that this is a picnic when you are dealing with a low profile card and proportionally smaller heatsink.This leads to my only real reservation about these low profile cards, which is that they run a little hot. In free air under a full load my MSI card is hitting 75C to 78C, and if the card doesn't get good air flow, it will quickly ramp up into the 80's and start throttling (reducing the clock frequency to protect itself).This isn't a criticism of MSI's design, because with reasonable air flow it works great, and these Nvidia Maxwell GPU chips generally run fairly hot. When you shrink a full sized GPU down like this, thermals are bound to be tight (the Gigabyte card has to deal with the same issues) -- but I did have to mod my case a bit to insure that this card would get adequate air flow for cooling.Given the price I paid for my MSI N750TI-2GD5TLP, and the performance I am getting, I consider the MSI card to be a good value and am glad I did the upgrade.-- but if you are looking for a lower price, or would like a card with better multi-monitor capability, display port, and dual HDMI, then you might want to also check out the Gigabyte GV-N75TOC-2GL.
