Nvidia seems to be working too hard for manufacturing devices that works on low power. After Nvidia's GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which consumed lesser power, the new GeForce GTX 950 can work without a 6-pin power supply.
The GeForce GTX 950 is going to transform your PC into a gaming device with its new GPU, which lets you enjoy fast and responsive MOBA gaming on the latest games that are 1080p.The 3x performances it delivers through its NVIDIA Maxwell architecture is way too ahead from its predecessors.
Looking through its specification sheets, the engine is a CUDA Cores at 768 with1024 MHz base clock frequency, 1188 MHz boost clock frequency and a texture fill rate of 49.2 Giga Texels per second. The memory clocks at 6.6Gbps with 2GB standard memory configuration and an interface of GDDRS at 128-bit, and a bandwidth of 105.6 GB/second.
GTX 950 also supports 2 way NVIDIA's SLI, GPU boost, G-Sync, Gameworks and Gamestream, GeForce ShadowPlay, Microsofts 12 API DirectX, CUDA, Open GPL 4.5, Bus support of PCI Express 3.0 and Dynamic super boost technology. It can run on Linux, FreeBSD x86 and Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.
It can support 4 displays at a Maximum digital Resolution of 5120 x 3200 and maximum VGA resolution of 2048 x 1536. HDCP is also supported and it can connect with Dual Link DVI-I, HDMI 2.0 and 3x display port 1.2. It also supports internal audio input for HDMI.
According to tech report what makes it interesting to watch is that without 6-pin power plug, Asus GeForce GTX 950-2G seems not to affect much and that does not stops it from working. The 6-pin plug comes as a supplementary power connector for the 75W. This seems to boost its performance and making future for cards in the same line.
