Drive 4 monitors just fine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not a gamer so I can't comment on gaming performance. I have 4 monitors being driven by the card using all of its outputs. 2 of the monitors are rotated and sit sideways. The bottom middle monitor is driven at 2560x 1440 (it is capable of 2880x1620 but the text was too small) the 2 side monitors are 1920x1200 and so is the top monitor. Only strange thing was using the HDMI cable to HDMI the resolution would only go 1920x1080 on the AURIA monitor. Using an HDMI to DVI cable on the I was able to get the full 1920 x1200. (on my Samsung T240HD the HDMI did drive the monitor 1920x1200. My Auria is the one that didn't. Ended up using the DP on that one instead of the HDMI.

Great card for the budget minded
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't unlocked it's true potential since I don't have a hyperthreading CPU. Haven't tried over clocking the card yet. The card I replaced kept crashing (Ratheon). I'm pretty happy with this card and don't see myself replacing it anytime soon till I upgrade to DDR4. The Best Buy's Associate didn't try to over sell me, but helped me choose the best card for my budget.

Solid Perfomace, Best Price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 950 is a solid preforming card near the top end of current video card technology. The price though is the main selling point. You get close to top end performance for a price that doesn't kill the budget, especially if like me you needed two for SLI.

Love this card!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this card for a couple of weeks. Didn't need drivers when I plugged it in, as I was replacing an Nvidia card. Used software included to update the drivers. Super easy to install. This took the main game I play (World of Tanks) from 20 fps at medium to 100 fps on high. For a mid range card, you can't go wrong. Pros: Easy install, solid return on money spent. Cons: This is a quibble, but the card does run hot due to the fan not coming on when idling. I downloaded MSI afterburner, an overclocking application, simply to change the settings for the fan. I have it set to 40% at start-up, and this brought the idling temp from 59 C to 35 C. Other thoughts: Gaming is so much more fun when the graphics are better!! Really pleased with this purchase.

good card for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good card to play most games current medium settings 1080p...2gb is a little small if the game has a lot of textures...games like PlayerUnknown ran around 30 for 40 fps on low settings but that could be server issues though..but i got it for less than 100 dollars after tax so good for me

Works Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old Geforce 9800 GT's fan died so I bought this one and ended up putting it in my Dell Alien Ware Aurora R4 computer, because GT 950 was 4K able and the Geforce GTX 555, that was in it, wasn't. So, the 555 now resides in my older computer, that housed the 9800 GT. It seems to be doing the job nicely so far. As of the time of this review, it may still be too soon to tell since it will soon be powering a 40" touch screen 4K TV, which will be my new monitor..

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs this compatible with windows 10?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes. I switched from a GT 730 and the difference was amazing. while the old card was fine for most things, gaming suffered when it came to newer, graphic intensive games. Video settings can be turned up to have sharper, clearer images with more detail. Movement is smoother with more control. the difference is night and day. I have an Intel i5 4460, 3.2 GHz, 8GB RAM running Windows 10.

Q: QuestionI have a e machine with Windows 7 I wanna know if I can use this without burning up My processor
Asked by Dustan.
- A:Answer 1. There is no such thing as a Geforce GTX 952. It's a BestBuy inventory database error (that caused me to overpay $40 that subsequently was refunded). 2. As to your question, you don't identify: - the CPU type, make or model; - the motherboard type, make and model; - the RAM type, the motherboard's RAM capacity, whether it will be overclocked, and by how much; - number and type of PCIE slots; - number of monitors to be served and their native resolution, and will it be SLI or not; - uses, gaming or none-gaming, and which games; - cooling system. That is to say, you reveal nothing useful about your build, why I have no answer.

Q: QuestionIt looks like my graphics card just crapped out. It was a GeForce GTX 680MX with 2048MB. I assume this is an upgrade? Will it run on my video editing iMac?
Asked by Geekay.
- A:Answer Unlikely, Most iMacs have built in graphics cards and dont allow user upgrades. Would depend on the model. a GTX 950 is 3 revisions newer but 3 models down from the 680 (XYY) X = Revision, YY = Features but with each new revision, the features are improved so likely a 950 is similar to a 680, the only way to know for sure is check out a GPU Comparison site such as http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-950-vs-GeForce-GTX-680
