Does this GPU require external power and other questions about it.

[Biggie Cheese-Sama]

Does this GPU require any external power? You know, through one of those 6 pin pci-e cables:

And how much better is that GPU than this one:

Oh well. I'll have to get the GTX 750 Ti then because I don't have any pci connectors in my pc. Thanks.

You can get molex to 6 pin converters.

There is actually one that comes with THAT 950. It's in one of the pictures.

Please don't, the 750 is crap. If your PSU is enough, get a GTX 950 if you can afford to.
Due to price flucations atm, 950 is maybe $10 more over a 750 Ti

EVGA has a GTX 950 that requires NO extra PCIE power
http://www.evga.com/articles/00990/evga-geforce-gtx-950-low-power
Scroll down and then where it compares all of EVGA's GTX 950 models; look at the ones where it says NO for 6-PIN. These lower power models only need 75W Max (unlike the 90W+ that normal GTX 950 can use)

There is only one model of 950 that doesnt need external power IIRC.

http://wccftech.com/asuss-latest-geforce-gtx-950-graphics-card-requires-6pin-connector-features-1228-mhz-boost-clocks/

Edit: I guess EVGA released one too as said above.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

NO look at my link; there are like 8 models from EVGA alone; half and which do not need a 6pin power connection.

MSI has a few low-power GTX 950 as well.

Everything from ASUS is all about OC'ing, they don't care about low-power.
If ASUS has any it is probably only one model like that with low power.

EVGA are the best around anyways, for GPUs.

All of the GPU's that don't require external power in the link you sent are 'coming soon'.

Asus has two 950 models which dont need extra pci-e power connector. I have a mini version.
It is a good GPU.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

If u can't find one available; then get a regular GTX 950 and use the 6-pin to Molex adapter.
They are still low enough power that even a budget PSU between 300W - 400W can run just fine. 24AMPs minimum on +12V is what is actually recommend on your PSU to meet the needs for minimum total power with a GTX 950

I have no idea how to set up a 6-pin adapter though.

Can you send a link to where you got it please?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Setup what? The adapter comes w/ GPU, they ship with them already.
You plug it into the GPU 6-pin; the molex 4pins plug into your PSU like any normal device would, such as a Case Fan for example.

Here's an example:

Click the Pictures and you'll see the adapter cable.

Here's a visual install guide:

You can get this card for the best price on Amazon Here-...

*Note he's showing a GTX 960, but respectively, you would do the same basics for any GPU; as long as your GPU is enough. When he temp removes the SATA cables (as this just helps to maneuver your larger GPU into place) be careful, most newer SATA cables have secure-clips on the ends, that need to be pushed into prior to pulling the cable from the port. Just be gentle with everything.

On that FINLAND site, they don't have ASUS GTX 950 without a 6pin
the ASUS GTX950-M 2GD5 MINI still requires a 6pin power


OP is from UK, so please look on:
