Asus & MSI GTX950 Face Off
Power Draw and Temperatures
Published: 20th August 2015 | Source: nVidia | Price: |
One of the key benefits to a less powerful graphics card is its excellent power efficiency, and the two GTX950s are no exception. Thanks to a better GPU Boost 2.0 figure - 1440MHz for the Strix compared to 1380MHz for the MSI - the Gaming has the slight edge in power draw, but both of them are very gentle on your electricity bill. This efficiency brings temperature benefits too, with neither card breaking 66°C.

Nice fun review thank you. I think I would go with the MSI, mostly because it looks more substantial but the Strix could be good for ITX rigs

They are ridiculously close, leaves no room for a Ti model, unless they Ti the 960.GTX950 £130
GTX960 £160

Not bad at all. Really needs to be compared to the 370 though given they have similar price point's, (although only 4GB version of the 370, 2GB version is notably cheaper). Looks like nvidia has a great budget card on their hands, although extensive comparisons must be made.
960Ti coming for sure, 960 was a joke given its price point, even more so now that this is out.Quote

Kinda think there should be more cards in the same price bracket in the graphs to compare it to. All well and good showing how it fares against a 980ti but people would generally want to know how it performs against other similar priced cards.Quote
