Using some of the same technology that goes into ShadowPlay and Twitch streaming, Nvidia has created a new feature that could just about sound the death knell for discrete graphics cards in laptops. The tweaks could be done without GFE, but it’s becoming a one-stop center for tweaking graphics settings on Nvidia hardware.Īnother feature Nvidia demoed-but something that we won’t be seeing until the September time frame-is called GameStream. For competitive gamers looking for every possible advantage, Nvidia used a high-speed camera to show that its low-latency optimizations were able to reduce the latency from 80ms on a GTX 650 to 45ms on a GTX 950-even with the GTX 950 running higher-quality settings. Nvidia has also been working on GeForce Experience, and one of the new features is low-latency optimizations for MOBA games like LoL, Dota 2, and Heroes of the Storm. ![]() (No GTX 750 Ti was on hand, but we’re still looking and will update the charts if we can scrounge one up.) We tested at 1080p, with High as well as our Ultra settings that we’ve used in recent high-end GPU reviews. Here’s how things shake down, with the GTX 960, 950, and 650. We ran our own tests, and while we don’t expect many would consider pairing the GTX 950-even in SLI form-with an i7-5930K, we’ve done just that in order to keep our test system consistent. So, what can you expect from the GTX 950? Nvidia is claiming up to 3X the performance of GTX 650, with 2X the performance per watt.
