Review: MSI GeForce GTX 950 Gaming and 2-way SLI
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?

Its obvious worthless card.
Its better than Gtx 660 but is at the same performance as Gtx 760.
So where the heck nvidia wanna put this card in the market? Is named Gtx 9xx,is Maxwell so what?
And if this low card will come with single slot (not ultra priced with two slots) then low level user will buy,some of them.

While I agree the price is rather high for this product series your argument makes no sense ? A 290 is 300 EURO, a 950 is ~175 EURO.

Yeah I can't find a 290 for under $275 here, in fact I can't even find a used one for under $180.
He makes a semi-decent point with a used 280x. You can get those for $150ish. Problem is the 280x is a 250w card compared to a 90w card. Doing quick in head math, in my state having the 950 saves about $10 a year. So after 2 years the 950 is actually the cheaper card. That being said it seems like the 280x is slightly faster (but it's also used so there is a trade off).

And I observed one more thing: This card is hot on iddle,almost 40degrees C in 21degrees C room.
In a normal room with say 25-26degrees C this card will go up to 44-45degrees C.hmm
The price is a mess,well its a normal thing on nvidia card.

An overpriced low end card = worthless.
You can get a 2x more powerful, freesync supporting 290 with a warranty for this price.
Or one from the piles of 280x`s or 7970`s out there for 2/3rds of this price.
Hard to imagine people on a budget who ignore the used option.
