The nVidia 750ti is WAY more graphics card than SH4 needs. If you had issues with it they had to be software related. That card is four times faster than my GTS 250 and my card has no issues playing SH4, even concurrently with other games. Even my card is pure overkill. I looked at buying a 750ti last month after I helped my daughter build a new computer. Decided there was no way I could justify buying one because all the games I like play flawlessly on the GTS 250.

She's playing games way more demanding than SH4 on her 750ti and has no issues at all. My brother just installed a 750ti and had problems, which turned out to be a tired power supply. Although the 750ti is a beastly power saver and took less than half the power of his old nVidia 8800, his power supply needed every watt of its 350W per 12V bundle and couldn't deliver any more. The new power supply fixed it totally.

Lots of things can come into play with graphics card performance and it's not fair to disparage a card which is clearly ten times more powerful than SH4 demands. I am glad your new card works, but the 750ti would also have worked had you sorted out your issues.
