It was put through a tough durability test that lasted 168 hours

The thing about hardware products is that they don't all last for the same amount of time, even compared to their own kin so to speak. That's why products like the upcoming Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti Black Edition have customer bases of their own.

You see, the “Black Edition” moniker always means some extra qualification, whether in terms of performance or endurance, or both.

For Gigabyte's graphics cards, it means that they were put through a 168-hour server level stress test.

It ensures that the products can go for hours at full throttle, allowing you to play whatever you want for as long as you want.

Sure, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti doesn't provide the same performance limits as GTX 760 and above, but it's better than average, and you can play, say, Skyrim on a GTX 650 easily (provided you don't go overboard with the resolution and graphics mods).

Anyway, the Gigabyte Black Edition GeForce GTX 750 Ti video board has dual-DVI ports, two gold-plated HDMI connectors, 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, and a dual-fan WindForce 2X cooler.

As for the GPU (GM107 Maxwell), it can run at 1033 / 1111 MHz Base/Boost, or 1163 / 1242 MHz (Gigabyte Black Edition GeForce GTX 750 Ti OC). Alas, for all its forthrightness, Gigabyte chose not to disclose the prices.
