Test: Asus Strix OC Edition GTX 750Ti

Konklusion

ASUS Geforce GTX 750Ti STRIX OC Edition er tiltænkt dem der vil have et billigt og strømbesparende kort der kan afvikle krævende 3D spil. Blæserne standser når man ikke belaster kortet og det er rimeligt støjsvagt ved hård belastning, men det kan dog høres.

Kortet er overclocket fra fabrikken og et eksternt strømstik kunne måske have givet kortet bedre resultater ved yderligere overclocking. GPU Tweak softwaren giver ikke helt så mange muligheder som ved de større STRIX modeller; man kan ikke regulere Power Target over 100% og begrænsningen på kun 200 MHz ekstra til GDDR5 hukommelsen er skuffende.

Jeg ville ikke tøve med at bruge dette kort i en HTPC. Det er et udemærket kort til prisen, da det yder bedre end kort baseret på reference designet.

Design/Layout - 3
Køleren er god, og større end hvad der er forventeligt af et grafikort af denne kaliber. ASUS har desværre ikke givet kortet et 6 pins strømstik og opgraderet strømforsyningen tilsvarende, så man kan ikke skrue op for power target ved overclocking.

Software/BIOS - 3
Kortet leverede stabil ydelse hele vejen igennem testen. Blæserne der stopper helt når kortet ikke er belastet er en rigtigt fin feature. GPU Tweak programmet gør det desværre ikke muligt at kunne skrue op for spænding og power target.

Ydelse - 5
750Ti chipdesignet giver en meget høj effektivitet i forhold til strømforbruget og ydelsen kan presset yderligere op hvis man overclocker.

Pris - 5
Der er få kort der kan levere dette niveau af ydelse til prisen, så topkarakter i denne kategori.

UK summary

ASUS Geforce GTX 750Ti STRIX OC Edition is targeted those who want an inexpensive and energy efficient graphics card that can play the latest games. The fans stop spinning when the GPU load is low and during gaming the fans are relatively low noise, but still audible.

This graphics card is factory overclocked and maybe an external power connector could have given us even better results when overclocking it further. The GPU Tweak software isn't giving us quite as many options when it comes to tweaking, as the larger STRIX cards; setting a Power Target over 100% is impossible and the limitation of only 200 MHz extra on the GDDR5 memory speed is disappointing.

I wouldn't hesitate putting this card in an HTPC. It is a fine graphics card with better performance than other 750Ti cards based on the reference design.

Innovation/Technology - 4
The 750Ti chip is super efficient! The fans that stops spinning when the GPU is idle and GPU Tweak are the two most distinguishing features, compared to the other brands of graphics cards. Both are found on earlier generations of ASUS cards but why change a winning formula?
 

Bundle/Accessories - 3
The bundle contains just what you need when buying a new graphics card, but unlike the larger STRIX models, you get no additional swag like the stickers that can be used to match the colors on the cooler to those on your ASUS motherboard.
 

Design/Layout - 3
The cooler is okay and slightly larger than what I would expect for a card of this size. Unfortunately, ASUS didn't equip this card with a 6 pin external power connector and upgraded the power supply circuit accordingly and I think this is why Power Target and voltage tweaking is so limited.
 

Software/BIOS - 3
The card delivered stable performance during the entire test suite. I like the feature that stops the fans from spinning when GPU load is low. The GPU Tweak software is very limiting when it comes to increasing Power Target and memory speed.
 

Performance - 5
The 750Ti chip design is very power efficient  and performance can be enhanced further by overclocking.
 

Price - 5
It is hard to find a card that can deliver this level of performance for the price, so top marks in this category.
