Conclusion

Lets take a closer look at the results in the games we tested. In this case we can see, that the performance improvement from the GTX 650 Ti to the GTX 750 Ti varies between 25 (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim) and 64 percent (Crysis 3). After running theoretical benchmarks we see a huge difference. In Unigine Heaven the performance improvement is 41 percent and in case of Fire Strike Extreme it's not less than 231 percent. On average the GTX 750 Ti is almost 40 percent quicker than the GTX 650 Ti.

At this point we also want to have a quick look at power consumption. Running our test setup with the GTX 750 Ti made it consume six watt less in idle than with the GTX 650 Ti. Under load we noticed, that the test setup equipped with the GTX 650 Ti needed 21 watts more. The new Maxwell based GPU is again shining here. Even though core clock speeds are higher but still power consumption is lower than with the old 600 series - in this case the 650 Ti.

The new GTX 750 Ti is on average almost 40 percent quicker than the GTX 650 Ti , which makes this conclusion rather simple. Upgrading from the GTX 650 Ti  to a GTX 750 Ti makes sense and quite a few games are playable again at higher resolutions. If you were to buy a new entry level card then one can actually argue about which one to buy. According to latest prices, the GTX 750 Ti is about 53 percent more expensive than the GTX 650 Ti. Basically you're paying 53 percent more to get 40 percent more performance. As we already mentioned there is not only the performance, which is improved significantly. Power consumption is an important point. Thanks to the fact, that the GTX 750 Ti needs less power, especially under load, you'll quite quickly save the additional money you spent on your power bill.
