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?

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.

Nope. 950SLI is slightly slower than 690. No more than 2GB is needed.

I did say 'a smidgen'. SLI 950 could possibly use somewhat over 2GB effectively. And I'm pretty sure there were a few complaints about the 690 not having enough VRAM.

It´s evident Gm206 lacks proper bus and memory for the times. And as per your ideas I should have no problem playing f1 2015, because 2gb are plenty... Oh wait!:

I am pleased to see SLI on lower spec cards its about time. I agree price is high
but if you don't have much this will be a good option when the price drops.

Thanks for the review HH
