NVIDIA GTX 950

Maxwell 2.0 · 2015

768 Cores 2 GB VRAM Up to 1188 MHz Desktop

Launched in 2015 as one of the more affordable Maxwell 2.0 desktop cards, the GTX 950 pairs 768 cores with 2GB of GDDR5 across a 128-bit bus at a 90W TDP that most power supplies and cases could handle without any fuss.

It was built for budget 1080p gaming rather than anything demanding, and a decade on it sits well into entry-level territory - fine for older or lightweight titles and esports games with the settings turned down, but not a card to plan a modern build around.
