About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 GPU

The GeForce GTX 480 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card by NVIDIA. It launched in Q1 2010 with a suggested retail price of $499. Its GF100 chip that powers the GPU uses the Fermi architecture and is fabricated on the 40 nm process.

This GPU is paired with 1,536 MB of GDDR5 VRAM. Its 924 MHz memory clock and 384 bit interface gives it a bandwidth of 177.4 Gb/s. This impacts how much data it can store, and how fast it transfers the data to and from memory.

The GTX 480 is a dual slot graphics card, taking up 2 PCIe slots. It supports DVI, mini-HDMI 1.3a display ports. This desktop card has a TDP of 250 W. NVIDIA recommends using a power supply of at least 600 W with this card. A power supply lower than this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

The GeForce GTX 480 has the 245th highest 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 540 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.78% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 5,014 score and $499 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 10.05. This is the 99th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti GPU

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti is an end-of-life desktop graphics card by NVIDIA. It launched in Q1 2014 with a suggested retail price of $149. Its GM107 chip that powers the GPU uses the Maxwell architecture and is fabricated on the 28 nm process.

This GPU is paired with 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM. Its 1,350 MHz memory clock and 128 bit interface gives it a bandwidth of 86.4 Gb/s. This impacts how much data it can store, and how fast it transfers the data to and from memory.

The GTX 750 Ti is a compact, low-profile graphics card, taking up 1 PCIe slot. It supports DVI, mini-HDMI 1.4a display ports. This desktop card has a TDP of 60 W. NVIDIA recommends using a power supply of at least 250 W with this card. A power supply lower than this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti has the 234th highest 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 540 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.12% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 5,378 score and $149 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 36.09. This is the 70th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
