Nvidia turned up the heat on AMD's Radeon product range late last year when it released its latest GPUs based on the Maxwell microarchitecture. Although the first Maxwell based card, the GTX 750 Ti was rather disappointing, the GTX 980 Ti, 980, 970 and the 960 are all great cards. But most of them cost well over $300. Replacing the GTX 750 Ti, the GTX 950 steps in as the new $150 GPU in Nvidia's current generation line up, promisising to deliver highly playable 1080p performance.
