EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti vs EVGA GeForce GTX 470

Right now I'm editing with EVGA GeForce GTX 470, CPU Intel i7-950 with Vegas Pro 13.

Newegg has a special today on the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti for only $119.99. Could any tell me if it's worth the upgrade? Would I see any improvement in playback with this new card? I definitely love the lower wattage, uses around 65 watts or less.

If I am correct, the 750Ti is based on the latest Nvidia Maxwell GPU and I doubt anyone has tested it yet. Be first and let us know :-) How ever, it has more CUDA cores but it's memory bandwith is rather small with 128bit vs 320bit; I personally doubt it will get you better performance but who knows how much better the new GPU is and how well it is supported under Vegas.

Oldsmoke thanks for the reply. I think I will wait and see how my GTX 470 works out. Since I installed older drivers that you recommended I haven't had any crashes.

Jerry that is a good idea. If you don't mind buying off eBay, get a GTX580 for a 150 or so and you are good to go. You can still keep the 470 in your system or sell it.
