Looks nice. If the price is good and the specs check out, it should be a great dedicated PhysX card, too. Hopefully there will be a low profile variant, too.

If its around 100 Euro it would be nice for HTCP cause of the HDMI 2.0.

Even a 750ti is 120€ atm, 950 seems little bit faster. Idk, alot of cards at low-mid range, if nvidia dont price right it wont be competitive.

^^750 Ti goes from $100 to $150 based on edition. this has 128SP more. it may go for $120~150 once price settles a bit and in time it may reach that $100 mark.
Don't think that this is good enough for PhysX. I've seen some test where 2x TX used for rendering + 750Ti for PhysX. It performed worse than having one TX for rendering and other one PhysX.
That means 750Ti which may be like 20~25% slower than this 950 was far from enough to feed even one TX.

Looks ok for an entry level system with a low wattage psu.

Because you don't need a high end card for an HTPC....
A GTX 950 would be perfectly suited for the tasks of an HTPC.
Why would you spend more for power you're not going to use.

For me 60Hz desktop is choppy, 120Hz is acceptable, but would love to have it much more fluid.
Having desktop on 30Hz would be damn unpleasant.

Exactly what Cartman372 said. 30hz on my 4k 65" Samsung is really bad nothing like the 60hz on my 1080p 55" TV. Also sometimes chopping lines come up on some movie you have to close the player and reeopen it and then it's fine I've tested it on 1920 res where it went to 60hz and it never did that so 60hz would be a lot better.

If, on the off chance, he wanted to do 4K 3D then he'd need HDMI 2.0.

Guys, dont get me wrong, but this is plain stupid. With the GTX 950 you wont be able to play games @ 4K. Not even 4K 30 Hz, not to mention 4K 60Hz. HDMI 2.0 ads 4k 60Hz support, THATS it. So, you say that everything untill HDMI 2.0 was rubbish.
IMHO, IF you spend so much money on a 4K TV, why dont you get a decent one with decent conectivity (ie Display Port)
