1. What is the intended use for this graphic card ? Gaming or workstation work? (Name few Games or applications are you going to run)

2. Which Power Supply do you have?
Ans: Corsair GS 600

3. What is your Max budget ?
Ans: 5k (Can be extend upto 10k if performance justify the price)

4. Which Screen resolution will you game at (if applicable)?
Ans: 1080p. Only for work not gaming.

5. What are your current computer specifications ?
Ans: i7 2600k @4.5Ghz
32 GB Hyperx DDR3 1866 MHz
Asus P8Z68 V Gen3
CM 212 Evo
WD Blue 7200 RPM 500 GB
Corsair GS 600 Power Supply

Two day's ago my iGPU was shortened due to unknown reasons (maybe reverse earthing or overvoltage; I don't understand how this happened b'cause I do have UPS)
So, currently I don't have any option other than buying a discreet GPU for display.

The system utilized only for content creation like 3D rendering. Since most renderer taking advantage of GPUs nowadays, so I am thinking of upgrading Gpu after few months; I am saying after few months, b'cause of HBM2 and 14nm technology.

So, in short, right now looking for basic GPU with good price to performance ratio.

Thanks !

+1 to 750 Ti
Yep... I am also leaning towards it; But also considering cheaper options too...how abt Nvidia GT 730 GDDR5? It will cost at almost half the price of 750Ti .

Your requirements is just to power the display then 730 will do fine, if you are into gaming, get 750ti
Even GT 720 is enough

Which one is more power efficient and radiating less heat - GT 720, GT 730 & GTX 750Ti ??
Asking it because the rig will be running almost 15 hrs out of 24 hrs, 6 days a week.
