What is the diff between the SC and basic versions of the 750 Ti by EVGA? Is the SC version still rated with a TDP of 60W? What bout temps and noise?

at the most the 750 TI SC should hit 55 - 60c tops, it all depends on what boost clock the card is capable of, some have mentioned hitting 1300+ if you are lucky.

As Thomas said, it's a higher clocked version but EVGA still lists it on their site as a 60w card and since it's lacking an external power connector it must be under 75w. The stock GPU speed for a 750ti is 1020MHz and the SC is 1176MHz. Temps for these cards are all incredibly low to mid 50s (C) and noise is also a non-issue. These cards sip power and run very cool.

SC is factory over clocked a little bit, my x51 only has a 180 watt power supply so I'm sure it's still only using 60w and heat and noise really aren't a problem with this card.

I foud this on the nvdia site: They're not the same spec.SC runs at 763/3800FTW runs at 850/4000SSC runs at 870/4200

You should be fine with 750 W. And corsair's CS psu's are fine products. However, I would reconsider the CS series. Not really in line with the rest of the config. While your non overclocked setup will peak just above 600W, making 750 W an efficient PSU, a platinium PSU would be even more efficient, hence cooler and quieter; even save you a few bucks in the long run if you're an avid gamer. 600 W does leave its mark on the energy bill. Another choice : I like the RM series; not really that more expensive and go fanless outside of games. If you can find a way to quiet down your GPU fan (not on the quiet side, even idle) you'll be glad for the tiny price premium. Good gaming ! [EDIT]just to make sure : because of the graphics card, when picking your pSU, make sure each pci cable can handle 28A and the combined 12V rails 50A. This is the case here and should be for any 700W+ PSU. Better safe than sorry, so double check !

I have the 650w version, purchased on the recommendation of a friend. I also have a MSI GeForce GTX 770 and after 9 months of use I have had no issues, no problems, outstanding power supply. Hope this helps.

It's a 55W TDP card. That means it'll consume up to 55W when under full load. I've seen many guys reporting being able to run this card with their stock 280-300W PSUs.

I would opt for the msi card especially if you plan on overclocking. The triple over voltage of the msi card will give you higher stable overclocks. It also runs extremely silent compared to the evga blower style cooling system. Just my two cents :).

I'd go with the MSI. EVGA is typically expensive for what you get and they are constantly releasing (and subsequently discontinuing) cards with slight variations. It's more marketing that substance. This MSI runs under a load 24/7 (BOINC apps) and has never even reached 50% fan speed with Afterburner.

People who had problems say EVGA was overnighting them updated units. Looks like they fixed compatibility issues about 6 months ago. You can return in to Amazon for free if you have problems, so no risk

Hi Mr. James. I just got home to check out your predicament, and I can say that I arrived at close to the same conclusion. I set my fan to manually run at max and there is a visual disconnect though the Precision X HUD. The meter says my fan is running at max, but the digital readout on PX says it's only at 80%. That's not exactly what you're reading (75%)...but it looks like the same issue. For comparison sake I took the other fan software and did the same thing to see if I noticed the same issue.... and I did. For some reason all the Fan software I use say the max is 80%. What I found out after looking into it more was that EVGA apparently puts a limit on the max speed you can run their fans using external controllers. I do not know if the card itself will push the fans above 80%, but it seems that when using other software, that is the max. ...even so. Whether your fan is running at a true 75% top speed or the actual max speed, I find that my fan on max keeps things cooled to about 40-44c...which is well below maximum temps. Hope that helps! (on a side note, I've read that you want to keep these cards at 70c or cooler in order not to lose any clock speed. Supposedly, once they hit 70c the card throttles back the clock until temps are below 70)

The fan is actually better than some people say - the default cooling profile never pushes the fan hard. If you download evga's wonderful "Precision X" utility, you can set up your own fan profile. I was easily able to get my card to run at least 10 degrees cooler than it did with default settings, and that includes overclocking the bad boy as much as I can.Be warned, though - blower-style coolers are good but they are also noisy. The reason the default fan profile is pretty tame is to keep noise down. With my custom profile, you will definitely hear the fan when it spins up. I don't mind myself as I never notice it over the sounds of my game. The fan is actually better than some people say - the default cooling profile never pushes the fan hard.

There are other cards for about the same price that are higher performance. I got this card because i needed a low power quiet card since I have a smaller case and I wanted to get more performance per watt. I haven't bench marked the card next to its counterparts.

I was running an Antec 850W and it was fine. But, when I bought another card to run in Sli, I had to bump it up to over 1000W. I think it will all depend on what else you are running.

Yes 750w will be fine, if you want to go sli in the future though you're going to need to more wattage.

I have a Dell XPS 630i with a 750W PSU. I replaced my old card with my new EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti. It came with the cables needed, easy installment directions. It is much more quiet than my old card. Works like a charm.

I disagree with everyone here AND more importantly can prove...I have a AX760i and I have the following: 2x780's in SLI, 8x 140mm fans 3hard drive and a I7 4770K OC to around 4.3... Under FULL LOAD like Aida 64 Bench, unigene, whatever---I TOP OUT at just over 500watts, and I know this because the Corsair Digital Series uses a GUI called DLink that provides a real time monitor so I can witness the fluctuation. Again TWO 780s and bunch 'o fans= less than 520watts

Should have no issues with a 750 watt. Can always do a power supply calculator which is easily found via Google search. Temps seem to be in this mid 70s for me but I also live in AZ with avg room temp of 78
