We review the MSI GeForce GTX 950 Gaming (in SLI as well), this entry-level to mainstream graphics card is armed with a GM206 Maxwell generation graphics processor from Nvidia. The product performs quite well in the 1080P area. Also the MSI card offers a nice factory tweaks and combined with AfterBurner we took the GPU towards 1575 MHz ! Let's check it out, shall we?

Freaking card is low end. It's got exactly the right amount for its gpu power. You can't expect a low end card to have a higher memory bus. It was designed that way to run optimally. You want more gpu power and higher bus buy gm204 or gm200.

XD, why not?, price?... my freaking $80 buck hd4670 was 128bit eight freaking years ago!.

If he'd bring up SLI...well, he might have a smidgen of a point. Carrying his logic to the extreme, it would be a better GPU with 12GB of memory on a 768 bit bus running at 10ghz.

When was the last time you tried to play on 2gb?. You guys seem out of touch.

Considering my expectations of the performance of a GXT 950, I would not be surprised. I would adjust the settings as would any 'in touch' person knowing the rendering capability of the product. The HD 4670 was a bit over 25 GB/sec memory bandwidth. The GTX 950 is over 105 GB/sec.

If you think one must stick to fugly medium textures from day one on our spanking new budget gaming cards, then we are not in the same page, not even the same dimension.

If you're expecting mid level gaming performance from an entry level "budget" gaming card you're just plain silly. If you desire higher frame rates and more eye candy, buy a higher end product. It is that simple. End of discussion.

Since when one has to stick to fugly textures on budget brand new gaming cards?... I don´t get this guys. I really feel sorry for that kid selling his 960 because newer games need more vram, see:
