GeForce GTX 750 Ti with 8GB VRAM: A strange 2024 modification
Twelve years after its initial launch, the Maxwell architecture is still appearing on store shelves in highly unusual configurations. A card branded as Xynsviu is currently available on Amazon, featuring a modified GeForce GTX 750 Ti with 8GB of VRAM—four times the 2GB GDDR5 capacity of the original model.
Technical Specifications and Changes
While the memory capacity has been expanded, the core specifications remain largely unchanged: 640 CUDA cores and a 128-bit memory interface. However, there is a notable trade-off in memory speed. The GDDR5 chips operate at 1253 MHz instead of the original 1350 MHz, which reduces the total memory bandwidth from 86.4 GB/s to approximately 80.2 GB/s.
The card features a low-profile design and is equipped with four HDMI outputs, making it suitable for multi-monitor setups. It does not require an external PCIe power connector, with power consumption reported to stay below 30W during Counter-Strike 2 gameplay. This configuration suggests the card is intended more for productivity or display expansion than for gaming.
Gaming Performance in Modern Titles
In tests conducted by YouTuber RandomGaminginHD using an Intel Core i5-12400F and 32GB of DDR5, the results show that while the extra VRAM prevents certain texture-related crashes, it cannot overcome the limitations of the aging GPU silicon.
- Cyberpunk 2077: ~32 FPS (Lowest settings, FSR 2.1 Performance);
- Red Dead Redemption 2: ~37 FPS (Ultra textures, 50% resolution scale);
- Counter-Strike 2: ~102 FPS (Medium settings);
- Fortnite: ~75 FPS (Performance Mode);
- ARC Raiders: ~48 FPS (with 1% lows dropping to 9 FPS).
The increased memory allows for Ultra textures in Red Dead Redemption 2 without manual configuration tweaks, but the overall frame rates remain low. At a price point of $198, the Xynsviu card is significantly more expensive than used original GTX 750 Ti units, making it more of a technical curiosity than a viable gaming upgrade.
