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. For the 'normal' models you have been able to see the memory cut down to 2 GB of memory on these puppies, that memory runs on a 128-bit wide bus, the shader processors have been cut-down to 768 Shader/Stream/Cuda cores.
Asus states the card has a board power of 75W and doesn't need a six-pin PCIe power connector.

This would be a very nice way of updating my old backup Phenom II based PC, sitting in a cupboard, which currently has an old Radeon 4850 in it.
Knowing that if I my main PC goes down I would at least have a PC with a semi decent GPU in it is very tempting.

Maybe he is. Why do you care what he spends his money on?
OT I think everyone may be missing the boat on this card. It's great and all the power requirement but seriously can they just make a low profile 950. Some people would like HDMI2.0a in their HTPC.
