Thanks everyone for the great insight. Looks like I need to go with the GTX 750 Ti and spend $150CDN to get a worthwhile performance boost. Some thinking to do.


Not sure how the us dollar conversion goes, but here is an EVGA GTX 750Ti "B-Stock" for $89.99.

The Canadian dollar is about $0.73 USD, so that would be about $110, and buying in USA you can get nailed with a $40 import fee.

I looked on tiger direct for the card I have and it's listed as $178, about what I paid 1 year ago.

The best I could find on www.newegg.ca the other day was about $150 for a 750Ti
