GeForce GTX 750 vs GeForce GTX 960M: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce GTX 750

2014

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 27.6 vs 0 G3D/$ ($120 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Draws 55W instead of 75W, a 20W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 960M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2014 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

GeForce GTX 960M

2015

Why buy it

  • 8.5% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).
