Going overkill: Back in 2014, the GTX 750 Ti was a go-to upgrade for budget PCs, largely because it could fit into an old office tower without requiring extra power cables. It came with just 2GB of memory, though – a limitation that many games released in recent years can easily run into. Now, a version with four times as much memory is available on Amazon. According to reports, it can even run Cyberpunk 2077 at around 30 fps.
UK YouTuber RandomGaminginHD picked one up from the little-known brand Xynsviu for around £160. That's more than the $149 Nvidia originally charged for the card. In the US, the same model was listed on the brand's eBay storefront for $189.
He paired it with a Core i5-12400F and 32GB of DDR5 memory for testing. In Cyberpunk 2077, the card averaged 32 fps at 1080p using the lowest preset and FSR 2.1 in Performance mode. Battlefield 6 ran at 35 fps on its lowest settings with the render scale set to 50%. Those averages hide some ugly problems, though, including textures that never loaded and objects that popped into view late..
ARC Raiders looked respectable on paper at 48 fps, but performance occasionally plunged to just 9 fps. Lighter games fared much better. Counter-Strike 2 ran at 102 fps on medium settings, while Fortnite managed 75 fps in Performance mode.
The extra memory does pay off in Red Dead Redemption 2. Ultra textures are available directly in the settings menu, without the configuration-file tweak required by the 2GB version.
