Nope. It's not.

So, AMD is like "polaris is comming soon"!

And nvidia is like "here is a 950..." And also pascal is rumored to launch soon, so why add a card to the 9XX series now?

Imo they should have done this earlier, or not at all, but now seems like a little too late, especially with polaris knocking on the door and hoping pascal will be here soon.

If pascal releases this year, this card can go EOL in less than a year, awesome...

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

I saw this card in a PCPP build a few months ago

it looked so cool, but I couldn't find it anywhere

I guess this is why

yeah, but this card is far more powerful than a 750ti.

Been considering making a mini-itx lan build. Thought about buying a 750 ti or buy my friends 760. But with this. Hmmm I'm definitely interested. I love the idea of having to plug a 6 pin power connect in. I'm just curious if it will run just as good as other GTX 950s.

"Surprisingly, despite the lowered TDP, the ASUS GTX950-2G card features typical clock-rates and other specificaitons one would expect from a GeForce GTX 950."

Hopefully so? Regardless it's an interesting card

GPUs with only ISA,  PCI,  AGP or PCIe powering them is not new.  I only have 1 GPU that requires additional power. (it is the only modern gaming card i have)

Thanks, I know most of the LTT community are great, but you all know your stuff, whilst there's me, a guy who just follows tech but has no real experience in it. It was a little daunting.

I saw this article earlier, I don't ever post news, but I thought this was really interesting. I would like to see more PCI-E ONLY powered cards soon! Perhaps a 960?

Well they'd have to get a lot more efficient.  We might see a lot more of these with polaris and pascal on the way, but I think the enthusiast cards will simply be cranked up to the same old TDP we have now - just you'll get way more performance for it.

I bet in 10 years a titan x will be as efficient as a 950 right now.

well performance per watt will keep going up for the foreseeable future, but I think nvidia and amd will just use the extra headroom from improvements in this space to give us more performance at the same wattage level each time.  Unless they get in a war again and even start increasing the wattage requirements.  Regardless I doubt we'll see an enthusiast level card running without extra pcie power connectors any time soon.

Will make cabling small form factor PC's easy. M.2 storage, no PCIe power cables. Only EPS 8 + 24 ATX connectors.

FYI, this one will do SLI 2x, ulike the 750ti.

 

But i still say single-slot or GTFO.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.
