Asus offers GeForce GTX 950-2G without a 6-pin power plug
The GTX 950 is an entry-level to mainstream graphics card in the Maxwell range of GPUs from Nvidia that sits pretty nicely in the 1080P domain. ASUS offers a GeForce GTX 950-2G without a 6-pin power plug.
The GeForce GTX 950 is a cut-down version of the GM206 GPU that Nvidia uses in their GTX 960 series. This revised chip has a lower number of shader processors, a 128-bit wide memory bus and thus 2 GB of GDDR5 memory.

The product has been castrated and stripped of everything that is sexy with the GTX 960/970/980.

Asus states the card has a board power of 75W and doesn't need a six-pin PCIe power connector.

Wasn't one of the 750 series cards that didn't have a power connector as well?
Its just as well that that this version of the 950 would perform below the standard 950 since its a low powered version of the card which means not as OC capable as the 6 pin powered version.
