Graphics Card Review:
- What can I say? The graphics card is actually pretty decent for a budget build... well the RX 480 is more on the lines of budget build now ($200). The GPU is quite (w/ the two fans it has), fast (for its price), and it has a sleek design (not to big and not to small). Since I first started with a budget build PC, I wouldn't have expected anything else from this graphics card. It performs will within the Medium/High graphic settings, and so far I have no issues with it which is a good thing because most computer parts that I get are defective. With me not owning a 144 Hz gaming monitor, the HDMI input from the graphics card to my monitor is decent, no screen tear or anything but you can tell its not perfect since the monitor isn't running at 144 Hz (its running at 60-68 Hz). If both the CPU were overclocked I could expect an FPS increase (as seen in the FPS averages listed above) but nothing extreme, but I don't like superclocking/overclocking my computer parts (weird I know) so I didn't include those numbers.
In short, this is a budget build graphics card. If these FPS numbers do not please you, you should then invest instead in the RX 480 (or GTX 970 which both are in the same price range). If you plan on getting this card and expecting 4k graphics and using Ultra/Max graphic settings in-game 24/7... then you are wrong. You will be able to play a max of Medium/High graphics depending on the settings you pick and what game you pick/play. If you want something better and want to play on Ultra/Max settings every single day, I recommend saving a bit more and getting for a 1070/1080. But if you need a budget graphics card, and you don't care about Ultra/Max settings then this is the card that you can get and you won't be disappointed.
Things to know:
- Out of the box, the GPU is superclocked.
- The box includes the graphic card, DVI to VGA adapter, 2x4 pin to 8 pin adapter, EVGA poster, EVGA badge/sticker and a user guide/manual.
- The card needs a 8 pin power connector (not 6), the pin is located on the top right of the card when plugged into the motherboard. If you don't have an extra 8 pin power connector from your PSU, you can use the included '2x4 pin to 8 pin adapter' that's in the box and use both 4 pin power cables that you have on your Power supply/PSU to connect the 8 pin to your GPU.
Tips:
- Register the GPU on the EVGA site.
- Be sure to download EVGA PrecisionX from their site so you can keep track of the GPU heat and fan.
- You will need to go to the Nvidia website to download the latest drivers/updates for the graphics card.
- Download 'GeForce Experience' to get more features out of the graphics card potential.
- Depending when you purchase the card or any other Nvidia card, you might get a free game or a free in-game item.
For example, I got a 'Diablo hero: Kaijo skin, and a 7-day Stim Pack' for Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm. You should check
on the EVGA website before purchase to see if the card has any special promos.
- Promo code will be emailed to you once the graphics card has been shipped and then you can redeem it.
Now, the long story: I've still got a Q9550 Core 2 Quad I'm mildly overclocking to 3.2GHz, 8GB of DDR2 Ram, regular old 7200RPM 1TB hard drives - basically I was looking for the last upgrade to this system before I've got to build another workstation; It's only been around 7 years now. So I had a GTS250 1GB as my video card, and I mostly played light gaming: Counterstrike, WoW, Diablo 3 - nothing demanding enough for me to complain at 1680x1050.
But I wanted to hook it up to the 1080p TV I've got five feet away. And I decided I really wanted to play Fallout 4 and GTV 5 - But it was a slideshow on the GTS250 card.
I took the chance I would't be bottlenecking the GTX950 too badly with my Core 2 Quad and it turns out I made a good choice - I show few signs of slow fps because of CPU bottlenecking although the CPU is going all out sometimes. I'm still getting a solid 40-60fps in Fallout4 at 1080p with ultra everything except high shadows & AA. GTV V is so amazing to look at on a 46" 1080p TV, I crash all the time.
I haven't overclocked the card much; I find it's running 1445 on it's own actually! So I haven't played much with overclocking the ram, or the GPU really, but I didn't get far with RAM before I saw artifacts in GTV 5, however I was able to run ram at least at 110GB/sec ( according to GPU-Z ) without any problems to at least match the 960.
I think this is a fantastic card; But do your homework- on a sale, it's really worth it but normally it's really close to a cheap 960 2GB, which I'd suggest getting if you can squeeze it. I'm not unhappy at all - I'm thrilled actually with this video card - I'm just saying check the current prices and make your decision on that.
The truth is, this card has absolutely stunned me with it's fantastic results. I got it during a sale, it was priced lower than the 750ti at the time, and I'm so glad I didn't go for the 750ti thinking my system would be the bottleneck. This card seems to be a perfect match for a slightly older system that you want to give a real kick to. If I add an SSD, I've given my system another year of life at least. Which will be next!
Top reviews from other countries
I have a pair of Dell P2715Q 4K monitors that don't have HDMI 2.0 ports. My existing setup involved using the displayport on my motherboard for one monitor and the sole displayport on my Radeon 260X card. It was giving Windows some minor issues, so I decided to look for a graphics card that had multiple displayports. I also had a restriction because I use a small form factor case that allows graphics cards with a maximum length of 210mm.
After some research, the best priced product I could find was this GTX 950 card, which is 173mm in length. Low price was important to me, because my primary use for this card was for its trio of displayports to drive my 4K monitors, which I use for work. It works great with my two monitors and doesn't even break a sweat.
If you're a gamer, you can definitely find better cards, but I consider this card to be a pretty good deal.
The Good Parts
* Fits in small form factor cases (173mm in length)
* Cheaper now than when they first came out
* I prefer NVidia's drivers over AMD's - anecdotally, I found them to be more stable than AMD
* Supports up to 4 monitors
* Ports: 3 displayport 1.2, 1 hdmi 2.0, 1 dvi
* Fast (Passmark GPU score on my PC: 4574 - my AMD R7 260X scored 3092 in comparison)
* Can play a lot of games at 60fps in high settings at 1080p, and does 60fps at 4K resolution on older or less demanding games (i.e., Ultra Street Fighter IV)
Quibbles
* Since the 10x0 series and 960s came out, this card will probably get harder to find and more expensive as time passes.
