Below you can see the D750 and D3X sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon D750 and Nikon D3X Cameras
Nikon D750 and Nikon D3X have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Nikon D750
or the
Nikon D3X ,
including hyperfocal distance.
