Expected GTX950 performance, so I'm not disappointed. It has indeed enough power for LoL and DOTA2 @1080p. How to flop? Price above 130/140€.
P.S: There is space for one RX465 @170€, one that can battle with GTX960 @DX11 and OpenGL and GTX970 @DX12 and Vulkan.

Again we in EU got fcked while US enjoyings decent prices. Card at 100$ US beating a gtx960?
Damn, nvidia is getting rekt at midrange segment lately.

This bench has some competitive games that Hilbert doesn't test.
While I agree with you that the game list should probably be altered for cards this low -- Hilbert's one dude and does a ton of benchmarks across every single vendor for almost every card. It would obviously take more time to adjust for each segment and you'd lose the comparisons to other segments, unless you expanded it all the way to the top. I think for the most part you can look at the games he's tested here and make reasonable assumptions on how the card would perform in other games.

Yea. It might be superfluous for high-end cards to include benchmarks for certain games, like CS:GO, LoL, DOTA2 and a bunch of other popular games like them on highend cards, but I do feel they would make a lot of sense to include in reviews of cards in this end of the spectrum.

Agreed with the posts above. Useless tests. Every game in that list is pretty much useless above 1080p. The list had to have CSGO, Dota2, LoL, WoW, SC2, overwatch, hots. After all the card's aim is competitive gaming.

BLEH!
Good review, though the card itself seems somewhat underpowered. Better saving up a bit more and getting a 470...

Does battlefield hardline perform similar to BF4?
Something is wrong with your results and conclusion;
My 260x gets a stable 30 fps at ultra, 4xmsaa 1080p
Here you're showing only 25 which I guess is fair but
Is a terrible conclusion seeing as it performs more on par with my 260x
Anyways, I hate this review overall, why review such a low end card with max settings, you know you should be running either no msaa or running high [testing at these settings makes the card look like trash, graphics scale well and it's rare to tell the difference between ultra and high]

yea, everyone is reviewing these cards poorly. need an esport machine and esport games please.
would also like legacy game test, like crysis and half life 2, etc. this card is cheaper then a family night out, so needs to tested differently.

"The card is tweaked for you already, I'd suggest to leave it at that." i could feel the frustration in Hilberts words :3eyes:.
i get it it is a new budget card, i really do, but to do 600 marks less in time spy against a GTX960 (2GB) am 18 months older BUDGET card dose say it all 🤓
Still, thanks for the time and the review Hilbert 🙂

I'm not sure I'd say this card is underpowered. It wouldn't surprise me if this, like many X60 range cards, are meant to be compatible with the IGPs of APUs. If the next gen APUs are based on the 460 and can be crossfired, that's actually some pretty significant performance.
Personally, I'm not sure if recommending the 4GB models, gaming or otherwise, is the right approach. I haven't seen benchmarks of 2GB models but it wouldn't surprise me if that performs roughly the same. This GPU clearly wasn't intended for 1080p gaming, so if you're at 720p or lower I think a 2GB model is plenty sufficient.
