Twelve years old, but with quadruple the memory: an unusual Geforce GTX 750 Ti with 8 GiB recently had to prove itself in current games – including Battlefield 6. The result is more surprising than one might think, but no reason to scrap your RTX card.
The YouTube channel RandomGaminginHD tested the card from vendor Xynsviu in eight games, including Battlefield 6, ARC Raiders, and Cyberpunk 2077. The GTX 750 Ti was released in February 2014, originally with 2 GiB GDDR5. The tested variant comes with 8 GiB – featuring the same GM107 chip with 640 CUDA cores and a 128-bit memory interface.
How Does the GTX 750 Ti Fare in Battlefield 6?
On average, the card achieves around 35 Fps. However, all details had to be set to the lowest level, and resolution scaling for Full HD output ran at 50 percent – meaning the game internally renders at only 960 × 540 pixels. The 1-percent lows were around 22 Fps, and missing textures and delayed object loading were also noticeable. It certainly doesn't feel smooth.
For comparison: Electronic Arts lists a Geforce RTX 2060 with 6 GiB as the minimum requirement for Battlefield 6. The raw performance of the old card is clearly below that, and even the larger memory doesn't help.
What Do 8 GiB of VRAM Offer on Such an Old Card?
- Cyberpunk 2077: approximately 32 Fps on lowest settings with FSR 2.1 in Performance mode
- ARC Raiders: around 48 Fps at minimal details and 50 percent TSR scaling, but 1-percent lows of only 9 Fps
- Counter-Strike 2: 102 Fps on medium settings
- Fortnite: approximately 75 Fps in Performance mode
- GTA 5 Legacy: on average 61 Fps with high details
- Red Dead Redemption 2: 37 Fps, textures could be set to Ultra
The memory runs at 1,253 MHz, slower than the original (1,350 MHz), thus reducing bandwidth from 86.4 to approximately 80.2 GB/s. More VRAM here doesn't automatically mean more speed. A direct comparison with the 2 GiB version under identical conditions is missing, so the true extent of the advantage remains unclear.
Is Such a Card Worthwhile for Battlefield Players?
From our perspective: no. For a shooter where quick reactions and stable frametimes are crucial, 35 Fps with drops to 22 Fps and 540p rendering is not a viable basis. As an experiment, the test is entertaining and demonstrates how far a chip can be pushed. Anyone seriously looking to play Battlefield 6 should stick to the official minimum requirements – which is at least the RTX 2060. Nevertheless, the test remains interesting for anyone wanting to show how frugal older hardware can be.
