They aren't as fast as other OC cards, but they should make up for it in their price

Its doubtful that any one of NVIDIA's OEMs will match KFA2 in factory overclocking the GeForce GTX 750 and 750 Ti graphics cards, but that doesn't mean they aren't messing with the cores anyway.

Case in point, Gigabyte has formally launched the GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Overclock Edition (GV-N75TOC-2GI) and GeForce GTX 750 1GB Overclock Edition (GV-N750OC-1GI).

Like with all the other GTX 750 Ti and GTX 750 cards, the boards have the same clocks, leaving it to the inner GPU specs and memory to differentiate between them.

And there are big differences, otherwise there would be no point to the price variation.

The $120 / €120 and $150 / €150 prices of the GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti probably won't be maintained, since the cards are factory-overclocked.

Still, they will keep near those marks, and the difference between the tags will carry over regardless.

So what are the clocks, you might ask? For the base GTX 750 Ti 2GB GPU speed we have 1033 MHz, and for the GPU Boost maximum we have 1111 MHz.

Meanwhile, the GV-N750OC-1GI works at 1059 MHz / 1137 MHz.

For the sake of comparison, NVIDIA's reference GTX 750 and 750 Ti boards work at 1020 MHz and 1085 MHz, respectively.

That said, the GV-N75TOC-2GI GTX 750 has a dual-fan cooler keeping heat down for the GPU and 1 GB of RAM (WINDFORCE 2X), while the other board has a single-fan cooler.

Also, we may as well mention the GPU differences: the GM107-300 has only 512 CUDA cores, instead of 640 like on the GM107-400 (GTX 750 Ti).

Finally, the memory operates at 5 GHz (GV-N750OC-1GI) and 5.4 GHz (GV-N75TOC-2GI), like on the other Maxwell adapters released over the past day. Both of Gigabyte's boards are made for the PCI Express 3.0 slot.
