Asus revealed two new versions of Nvidia’s GTX 950 that are ideal for PCs with paltry power supplies and anyone rocking an HTPC with a mini-ITX motherboard.
The first new card is the Asus GTX 950-2G, which lacks the 6-pin power connection required by the stock GTX 950 models by limiting its TDP to 75 watts, the amount provided by a motherboard’s PCI-E slot. Nvidia’s standard design for the 950 requires a power draw around 90W.
Asus also introduced the Mini GTX 950-2G . This is basically a cut-down version of the 950-2G. Again, it comes with no PCIe power connector, and the same external ports as its bigger brother. The single-fan design measures just 6.7-inches long, making it a good fit for mini-ITX boards in HTPCs and other diminutive PCs.
