And despite being a gimped version 950, the performance difference at this level should be negligible, since most of these are going to be used in HTPC's or casual/streaming gaming rigs.
it's not so gimped, the maxwell of the 750Ti without 6pin OC as hell, like the one on 750Ti with the 6Pin...
i expect the same with the GTX950 without the 6Pin as it is already even more cool than the 750TI when in use.

Literally read my bloody mind.
Is it really that hard to integrate a single-slot cooler on that card? Someone please enlighten me.

Do any of the manufacturers ever read the forums? if they do, i think users should create a thread and express cocern over the lack of choice.
I mean i have seen entry lever garbage with dual slot coolers.
Sigh...

I own 2 systems built using SFF chassis.... Would be rather nice if a manufacturer would make a new card to fit them.

I'm glad I bought that $80 Asus GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC three weeks ago.

i did look on ebay, but getting one that lines up with caps and vrm is almost impossible
edit: lets not forget the dual slot braket

See, this is what I was waiting for--the successor to the 750Ti.
To me, it was nonsensical when nVidia initially released the 950, since it really didn't bring anything to the table relative to it's price bracket--spend a bit more money, and get a fairly capable 960, or save a few bucks and get the convenience of a 750Ti.
And despite being a gimped version 950, the performance difference at this level should be negligible, since most of these are going to be used in HTPC's or casual/streaming gaming rigs.
