While the 260X is a rebadged Radeon HD 7790, Nvidia's 750 Ti features a brand new GPU architecture called Maxwell.
Like other 700-Series cards, the 750 Ti supports G-Sync, a new technology from Nvidia that allows GeForce video cards to play games without refresh rate induced stutter or screen tearing. A G-Sync capable monitor is required, as well as a GTX 650 Ti Boost video card or higher.
AMD's R7 260X, however, requires one 6-pin power connector and it's also an inch (2.5 cm) longer. Lastly, the 750 Ti supports up to three displays and features one Mini-HDMI port and two Dual-Link DVI ports.
The 750 Ti is a power-efficient video card that consumes a mere 60W. In contrast, AMD's R7 260X eats up almost double the wattage with its 115W TDP. Nvidia's PSU requirement for the 750 Ti is also low at just 300W, so you won't need a beefy 500W or 750W beast to power this mini GPU. That, combined with its small size, makes it an easy upgrade for a wide swath of systems.
When it comes to specs this entry-level 700-Series card doesn't disappoint. The card features 512 CUDA cores, a base clock of 1020MHz, and a boost clock of 1085MHz.
The 750 Ti comes with 2GB of GDDR5 video RAM clocked at 5400MHz, too. It's worth mentioning a non-Ti version will come soon and sport 1GB of RAM and retail for $119/£90. If you're going to run multiple monitors I'd push you toward this 2GB Ti version, as you'll have more video RAM bandwidth for doing things across your displays.
