It might not be close to the same level of the Radeon R9 295 X2 Dual-GPU that PowerColor just gave four 8-pin power ports, but MSI has its own custom-designed graphics card coming out.

The GeForce GTX 750 is not what you could call a mighty video board, but it's still above average, so a little overclocking can't hurt it.

Well, above average in the sense that all add-in boards have to be decent or better these days. The Integrated iGPs/GPUs in Intel and AMD processors don't allow for much in the way of low-end anymore.

Micro-Star International did just that; took the card and tweaked the clock a bit, making its GPU work at 1059 MHz Base, 1137 MHz boost, instead of 1020 MHz base and 1085 MHz boost.

The VRAM was left alone though, which means that, like the reference card, the MSI GTX 750 2GD5/OCV1 has 1 GB of GDDR5 at 5 GHz.

Everything else is the same (128-bit interface, 80 GB/s memory bandwidth, dual-DVI and mini-HDMI video ports, 3-display support, etc.).

Well, except for the cooler. The newcomer has a black-shrouded single-fan model taking up two slots. As with the standard board, no power is needed beyond what the PCI Express slot provides. All this for a price of around $130 / €130 or so.
