MSI has revealed two new Geforce GTX 950 models based off a more efficient revision of the Nvidia 950 GPU.<\/p>\n

The cards do not require an external power connector and can be powered through the PCIe slot they are seated in, making them a viable option for SLI setups.<\/p>\n

Although they have a lower power consumption, they maintain the same clock speeds and memory specifications of the previous 950 overclocked models.<\/p>\n
