Nvidia to launch GTX 950 on 17 Aug 2015

Have been waiting for the 950, as I've been debating getting another card to supplement my just ordered 980Ti as a dedicated Physx card. Would prefer single slot(ish) and as low power as possible.

Based on this it's looking like a 750 really; hopefully these will drop prices at least!
 
I'm surprised it has an 8 Pin power connector, thats 150 Watts, 225 with the PCIe, surely a 6 Pin would have been more than enough?
 
Not everyone needs to game on the X-treme side of things. :o Using a 750Ti myself at 1080 and it serves me quite well. This could potentially be a decent little upgrade around the £100 mark if the improvements are decent over the 750Ti. :)

ay... +1 nothing wrong with lower tier GPU's :)
 
If these come in at £99 / £110. I guess it's ok but still overpriced for what it is?

A passive 950 could be nice for HTPC, still needs 6 pin power though. I think the 960 at £149 with a game still offers best bang for buck on Nvidia side.

950 just seems a bit low spec to be really enticing. If may get a good HTPC following though?

It's a good option for those wanting to take on PS4 performance for a similar price to the 750Ti. Eurogamer/Digital Foundry often use the 750Ti as a comparison to the PS4 and often get similar performance to the console for the budget price of the card.

Now it looks like an overclocked 950 could offer a decent boost on Maxwell version 1 (750Ti) in more or less the same price range, that's pretty cool. Let's face it with all these rebrands offering pretty much samey performance to their older namesakes, it's nice to see a new card in the price range perform actually better than it's predecessor. EVGA and MSI 750Ti are still £110 and £115 respectively, that's certainly overpriced :eek:
