Wow, I have a GTX 980 Palit JetStream on a secondary PC. That exact model. It's pretty crazy but Palit has that exact same cooler on a 95Watt part as in the 165Watt. The only problem is, IDK why though, but on this 980 it has 3x mini-DisplayPort and 1x mini-HDMI. That part is pretty stupid Those temps are constantly 60ºC. Pretty *cool*
I'm rockin a 980 Ti now but the 950 isn't bad either. Much better than I thought actually. 900 series GPU are cheap here and all over the place and a great opinion for a good budget build that is able to play many games. Drivers are still up to date too which is a bonus. I also have a 780 and it must use older drivers vs 900 series. I wish there was some kind of open source Win GPU driver source for old GPUs. That would fix some issues etc that Nvidia or AMD won't fix anymore. I can wish. Thanks for the video! I always wondered how the 950 performed and I'm actually impressed. Less than 100w surprised me and is wonderful! I love efficiency based GPUs!
@DanielCardei Absolutely, I completely agree Daniel. I always thought, what if they took the Arm based GPU, made a larger chip capable of 25-50-75w then what could it actually do 🤔. It might be a really fast efficient GPU yet I haven't seen anything like that. Like a Mali, Immortal or just a company with experience in efficiency such as Qualcomm to begin the efficiency based dGPU creation and not just SOCs like we know of. Qualcomm dGPU, why not IMO. Then we could have 4 competitors which is good for us all. Prices should go down and innovation should go up. Immortalis-G925 is quite fast for a mobile Arm GPU that maybe could be scaled up to a dGPU. Or maybe a hybrid Arm & X86 platform, but as competitors it would be difficult. It would be cool though and hopefully companies can do things way outside of the norm for the sake of us people and the planet. They could argue 4k is a reason to upgrade, but you need a very expensive $600+ GPU to do so effectively. 1080p-1440p is good enough anyways when viewing on a regular sized monitor. Even 720p-900p isn't that bad if the monitor downscales properly.
@zCaptainz Definitely not. People with newer GPUs are in the minority. Proof of that is the vast amount of games that don't require even a 1080+. So yeah that's true. Good thing about that is game developers like to cater to the majority of gamers. In order to help gamers upgrade they really need to work on the insane pricing and make it worthwhile. Maybe Intel Xe2 will help bring us gaming GPUs at a good price since Nvidia isn't going to from what it looks like. Sure there are games like Starfield that require a lot of power, but they don't make up the largest segment of games yet and haven't worked at getting millions upon millions of people to upgrade upon their release. Businesses make up probably a larger chunk of newer GPU sales I would think, so I believe you are absolutely correct. Qualcomm or something different could increase their die since they are mobile based yet powerful for their size. I think it would be possible to have a powerful one at a lower TGP at say 50-75w or so. Getting people to change to Arm will always be a huge issue though and has failed so far, so it would need to be x86 based IMO. At least for now until things change. There are too many people in poverty to low income in the majority and that needs to be solved first. There is plenty of cash to do so it gets ignored for raw narcissistic greed instead. Doesn't make sense considering more people with cash will stimulate any economy, but not concentrate most of it to a tiny percent of the population. 44% of the global population lives off of $6.85 a day which is insanely low. It should at least be easy to double it, yet nope, must have slave labor is what they won't say but is absolutely true. The mode of production changes to solve this on paper seems easier but people are too complex to make it happen in the real world. Maybe one day though and then massive improvements to everything can accelerate at blazing speeds. We all have ideas that could be practical and yet most will be unaccepted. That's alright, that's life.
If you can squeeze a few extra seconds per game, I would like to see 2 different settings / resolutions. For example in CS2 try 720p for max fps or in GTA5 try online as well (since less fps than singleplayer)
funny thing is i`ve been told to go single player because online its lower because of the players. On the settings side, indeed its something that i`m adding slowly as a routine.
Palit's jetstream coolers look identical,i remember seeing someone selling gtx 980 with similar looking cooler . Obviously the 980 one was a bigger cooler since it sips much more power than the 950 .
good recomendation for GPU to pair phenom II x6 series?? (Buddy Came across his old MSI 880G-E45 with Phenom II x2 installed, passed on to me, but i never get rid of may upgrade)
its a good CPU.. especially with a healthy overclock i used it in 2017 with a AMD 280x .. playing Battlefield 1 online worked really good with some small hickups. but for modern games it will defenitely struggle

That cooler for that 950 is absolutely massive lol
it was for a GTX 960. i borrow it 🤭

I think the future lies with low-TDP GPUs. Efficiency will be the next major selling point.

@@dont99know Graphics cards kept growing to insane sizes, and power, but I don't think a lot of people upgraded to 4K...

I love the fact the GTX 950 is doing a fantastic job! 💯 💕bro! Love what you do and how you articulate things 👍
🙏 it means a lot. Thank you
There are gtx 950 models that are slot only powered. (Don't need 6 or 8 pin plugins)
wow
Now that`s something i don`t need but i want.
do a video on the RX 5600 XT, thank you!

Do remember this was from a GTX 960. i used a marker and made from 6 to 5 with a dot.
lol I just commented this exact thing
... And then scrolled down to your comment. Doh

good recomendation for GPU to pair phenom II x6 series?? (Buddy Came across his old MSI 880G-E45 with Phenom II x2 installed, passed on to me, but i never get rid of may upgrade)
maybe cpu choice to was thinking the phenom II x6 1075t 1090t 1100t(one of 3)
its a good CPU.. especially with a healthy overclock
i used it in 2017 with a AMD 280x .. playing Battlefield 1 online worked really good with some small hickups.

@@Evil-La-Poopa not looking to play games running linux in homelab setting
I'll take the lowest tdp with the most amount of cores you want.
i didnt even knew this card exists lol
i thought the 960 is the smalles 9xx card
the more u know
would be funny to run this card in SLI
this is why i don't agree with 1080p testing with fsr and fg. it looks sooo baaaddd. it looks worse than gothic 3 (2006)
Please add Fortnite to your tests
SLI for 950 😏
