In addition to what Mohit said, you won't see too much of a difference between those cards...unless you do resolutions like 4K. (Higher resolutions need more VRAM.)

The GT 1030 is a pretty good card for what it does (which is 2D in 1080 resolution); I used to have one and it worked great for Photoshop. The bonus was that it didn't require external power from your computer's power supply.

Thank you.

I found the GT 1030 good. But the GTX 750 i has a lot more CUDAS.

Would that be better? And the Bandwidth is bigger too.

The GTX 750 Ti would be the equivalent of the 1050 or 1050 Ti today, if I recall. The 1050 series is a step above the 1030, but note that's in terms of gaming/3D performance. They all perform relatively well across the board when it comes to 2D and GPU-enhanced features in Photoshop. As an example, see here:
