The GTX 950 Strix Edition – Not Cheap, But Price-Smart
Nvidia GTX 950 is a very good, reliable yet price decent graphics card. The latest additions brought by Asus should meet any requirements of a high-end video game, thus allowing you enjoy them fully. It’s based on the Nvidia’s Maxwell core, which is still capable.
I know, some will say it is only a cut-down from the GTX 960. Not true, because this is not Vanilla GTX 950. We talk about the Asus GTX 950 Strix, which delivers factory overclocking, thermostatically controlled cooler, twin-fan yet so silent. Under intense stress, the card remains quiet, be sure of it.
The card is available only at 2GB of DDR5, running at a 105.6Gb/sec, meaning everything is available at 1080p. Asus has also brought the core up to 1140MHz with a boost mode at your disposal.
Also, there is the GPU Tweak II software, lending you a helping hand in boosting even more. The function called “Gaming Booster” will give Windows enough breathing space in order to provide you with enhanced gaming quality.
It Will Take You Where You Need
What I’m trying to achieve here is to let you know spending big for a graphics card is good, but be smart. There are different options that you should consider and make sure you take the best decision there is.
This one is competent, you should not be scared of the name or the price. It runs on Direct X 12, it has a sticker warranty of three years, has a very low energy consumption and makes less noise than most of the big names out there.
I would say you should mark it as a definite buy if you are a casual gamer, looking for quality and a good business. Don’t say it’s limited, it doesn’t make any sense.
