Introduction

Product on Review: GTX950-2G Graphics Card
Manufacturer & Sponsor: ASUS
Street Price: £120 GBP / $160 USD

The PSU (power supply unit) is often the device which acts as a hurdle for entry-level system upgrades or even an aging computer configuration, the overall wattage capacity dictates whether certain products can be installed. The graphics card is often the piece of hardware which many users will desire to upgrade but traditionally require extra wattage to permit usage. So when we heard that ASUS had designed a GTX 950 which ran directly from the motherboard PCI express lane as opposed to needing any power supplied from the PSU, we were especially intrigued.

In the spotlight today is the GTX950-2G – otherwise known as GTX 950 Unplugged. This graphics card seeks to liberate system builders who simply want to upgrade their graphics card but perhaps lack the extra juice from the PSU. As mentioned, this GTX 950 is able to operate from the PCI express lane and yet still delivers the same great 1080p performance as other GTX 950s – ASUS has also added in a dual-fan cooling solution which keeps noise and temperatures down.
