Spare 950 laying around.

[Deusrex]

I have a spare GTX 950 laying around, I was going to give it to my Sister to make the office computer I built her into a gaming machine for my niece, but I just got them a 1050 instead, because it's way better.

 

Is there anything worth while I can do with this other than make it a physx or sell it?

 

Edit:

Is there any advantage to having my secondary monitor connected to it rather than my main GPU as it never runs games? Can I use it to trans-code video if streaming?

If you're interested, you can use it to run various distributed computing projects, which also serves as a bit more electrical heating and run up the electricity bill.

No there is no advantage to having second monitor connected to it as it is insignificant load on your main GPU.

As for transcoding I don't know. To find out just plug it in and see if it works...

My feet do get cold ever since I changed out my 780Ti for a 1070.

Having a spare graphics card is a very handy thing to have. If you dont have a use now just put it in a box untill you do.
