So perhaps this is a bit off topic, but you guys seem like a knowledge group. Are the 750 ti's the most power efficient of the of the Maxwell cards? Thanks.

It greatly depends on where you live; for me the 970s are the best choice by far even if I only go for 4 x 970 per rig, but of course I also add 2 x 750 Ti.
While a 6 card 750 Ti rig looks great on paper, you can't really disregard the price of the whole PC itself (mb+cpu+memory+hdd+psu) which all adds up, disrupting the efficiency/ROI of a 6x750Ti rig. But of course YMMV.

ill be building a 6 x gigabyte 980ti g1 miner very shortly ( when the funds allow ) and will have the results in comparison to the 6 x gigabyte 750ti oc lp miner ...

this should give an indication ( hashrate also ) of how efficient these two machines are ... admittedly - ccminer-spmod - it will be a huge hashrate difference - but power efficiency will be the question with this - not hashrate ...

i am actually hardpressed to believe that the 6 x gigabyte 750ti oc lp miner would not be more efficient than the 6 x gigabyte 980ti g1 system ... even if all the computer power consumption is taken into effect ...

obviously this is not using the 970 as you specified - but i dont think thefarm will be upgraded to the 970 card - so i couldnt test that anyway ...
