The GeForce GTX 980 is dramatically faster, around 500% ahead of the GeForce GTX 750. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce GTX 980 packs 2,048 CUDA cores versus 512 on the GeForce GTX 750.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce GTX 750 starts at $269 GBP against $495 GBP for the GeForce GTX 980. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 980 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 226%. The GeForce GTX 750 still sits about $150 GBP above its $119 GBP MSRP. The GeForce GTX 980 is trading below its $549 GBP MSRP β€” a genuine deal.

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 β€” 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 β€” 224 GB/s versus 80 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) β€” which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 980 or GeForce GTX 750?

The GeForce GTX 980 is the all-round winner here β€” 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.
