Review: Palit GeForce GTX 950 Storm Dual
In this review we check out the 2GB version of the Palit GeForce GTX 950. The GTX 950 is the entry-level to mainstream graphics card in the Maxwell range of GPUs from Nvidia. Palit offers it in a Storm-Dual version which we hope lines up with the dual-slot-dual-fan cooler. Let's check it out, shall we?

good stuff for 150$, but it gonna cost more in Europe therefore canceling it's value immediately.
the max i would pay for such a card is 150$, but even that feels too much.

what a price ???
the GTX950 cost only 10 buck less than the GTX960, and 20 more than the R7 370
???
Something wrong in there.

Here in Portugal it costs 199€, now that´s what i call "lulz". Gotta love the lulz. The gtx 960 is only 20/30€ more expensive, so despite the value overcloked, these puppies won´t shine unless a price cut is in the works.
Seems every year it passes the harware gets ever so more expensive regardless of segment. In five years then what, 300€ for this segment and 1000€ for the single gpu top dog? For gods sake!

Yeah here the cheapest 950 is 187.5€(MSI GEFORCE GTX950 OC, the little white single fan) and the cheapest 960 is 216.15€(ASUS GEFORCE GTX960 TURBO OC, the white one with what i guess is some sort of a reference cooler), i mean...why??
They need a 50€ difference between the two for people to consider the 950. Only someone with no knowledge or reference will buy the 950, at least with the current price. Drink a coffe or two less during a week and there you have it, you can buy a stronger gpu, lest we forget that whatever gpu you buy will have to serve you well for at least months, maybe some years so what´s the excuse?
I´d be interested in hearing about prices in other contries because at least here from what i wrote above the situation is just plain bizarre.

$40 difference here in the states. That's not including the $20 MIR on most 960's. The 960 was a fail card IMO. The 960 should be renamed the 950Ti and it would be better.
950 at $129

Outside the 970 and 980ti this nvidia gen has been so boring and unexciting, performance improvements are nothing to write home about, can´t handle peasant textures and barely can play in peasant resolutions.

Palit did a really nice job here, but the price is a fail on NVIDIA's part.
