So then it's time to wrap up our findings, and deliver a verdict on the ASUS GTX 950 STRIX. Let's start very existence of the card. The GTX 960 was already offering the sweet spot for budget gamers. When we tested it some months back, I was left very...

The Asus Strix GTX 950 Gaming is a low-cost gaming card with competent overclocked performance at 1080p combined with excellent build quality, low power consumption and very low fan noise. However, faster cards with more memory are probably financially...

We were waiting with bated breath for the “mainstream” NVIDIA GTX 950 to see how well it runs, we've had it on the test bench for a while and at its price point the ASUS Strix GTX 950 DC2OC does one heck of a good job with more than demanding games. The...

The Asus GTX 950 Strix retails for £25 more than a standard GTX 950, or put another way 20 percent. We said at the start of this review that it would have to deliver to be worth it and ultimately in this case we're not convinced it is. That's not to say...

The STRIX-GTX950-DC2OC-2GD5-GAMING (yes that is the full product code name) is a nice entry level product with proper cooling and totally silent noise levels. Combined with the rendering performance I'd call this product a capable 1080P graphics card....

NVIDIA launched the new GTX 950 GPU and Asus send us their Strix Gaming implementation. We have a new GPU for MOBA games, but also for any other gaming options. It can run Full HD and 2K games with high details, but no 4K. PROsCONs - performance- power...

Nvidia's GTX 950 is a smart card for the company as it aggressively hits a cost-effective price point where AMD has roamed freely for many months. The GTX 950, or more specifically factory-overclocked cards from board partners, is able to offer a smooth...

So far, 2015 has given us a bounty of high-end graphics cards. If you want to spend somewhere north of three hundred bucks on a graphics card—and heck, maybe three times that—then you have plenty of shiny new options from which to choose. I've spent a...

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 900 series is without a doubt the the best selling desktop graphics card right now and the introduction of the GeForce GTX 950 last month at the $149 price point will only help solidify the sales dominance of the series. NVIDIA's...

With Geforce GTX 950 graphics card, Nvidia brings the new Maxwell architecture enabled features for gamers on budget. At least we hoped it will be that way. The suggested MSRP including VAT for the GTX 950 is €169 (Germany) while in most other EU...

Based on the model name alone, it's not hard to sum the GTX 950 up. It's of course slower than the GTX 960, which gives us the idea that it could handle 1080p gaming with good detail levels – and that's just what we get.In all of our testing, the GTX...

So today we went over the GTX 950 and the new features that Nvidia is introducing to their drivers and software. Beyond that I went through and broke down the GTX 950 Strix and found out how well the new card performs. Going into this review I...

Almost two years ago NVIDIA introduced the new Maxwell architecture to the masses in the form of the low-TDP and very efficient GeForce GTX 750 Ti video card. The initial release naturally was just a taste of the tremendous performance to be witnessed...
