Modified GTX 750 Ti With 8GB VRAM Runs Modern Games at 30 FPS

A modified GTX 750 Ti with 8GB VRAM delivers playable 720p performance in modern AAA titles, offering a budget workaround for legacy hardware.

Modified GTX 750 Ti With 8GB VRAM Runs Modern Games at 30 FPS

An unknown Chinese manufacturer has released a modified graphics card that reuses the old GTX 750 core but pairs it with 8GB of video memory. This change matters because the original GTX 750 Ti ran out of memory in modern games, but the new configuration allows older chips to handle current titles at playable framerates. We see this as a practical workaround for budget builders who cannot afford new hardware but still want to play recent releases.

The card uses the GM107 GPU, which contains 512 CUDA cores and matches the specifications of the standard GTX 750 rather than the Ti variant. Kuaiji Technology states that the manufacturer moved this core onto a new printed circuit board and soldered eight GDDR5 memory chips to create the 8GB capacity. The card features a single fan cooling solution and runs on the Maxwell architecture, which first introduced over a decade ago.

Specifications

  • GPU Core: GM107 (512 CUDA cores, GTX 750 specs)
  • Memory Capacity: 8GB GDDR5
  • Architecture: Maxwell
  • Cooling: Single Fan

Performance tests conducted by Budget-Builds Official show that the 8GB VRAM removes the bottleneck that previously limited the GTX 750 series. The card averages 34 frames per second in Cyberpunk 2077 at 720p resolution with FSR set to Balanced. It also achieves 32 frames per second in Baldur's Gate 3 at 720p with Low graphics and Ultra textures. Red Dead Redemption 2 runs at 37 frames per second under the same resolution and texture settings.

Lighter titles run significantly faster on this hardware configuration. GTA V Enhanced reaches 52 frames per second at 1080p with Normal graphics and High textures. Counter-Strike 2 hits 98 frames per second at 1080p with Competitive graphics and High textures. Kuaiji Technology notes that while adding memory does not make a 15-year-old entry-level card powerful, it allows modern games to reach a playable 30 frames per second when resolution is low enough.

We looked at similar budget hardware modifications earlier while tracking legacy GPU trends. The card remains unbranded and lacks official pricing or availability details. The modification proves that sufficient video memory can extend the lifespan of older GPU cores in modern gaming scenarios.
