Price & Value
Right now the GeForce GTX 750 starts at $699 EUR against $998 EUR for the GeForce GTX 980. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 980 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 390%. The GeForce GTX 750 still sits about $580 EUR above its $119 EUR MSRP. The GeForce GTX 980 still sits about $449 EUR above its $549 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 750 pulls less power (55W vs 165W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce GTX 980 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 4GB against 1GB, the GeForce GTX 980 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 750's 1GB can fall short. The GeForce GTX 980's memory is also faster — 224 GB/s versus 80 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 750 or GeForce GTX 980?
The GeForce GTX 980 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GTX 750 if you find it at a steep discount.
