In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 950 2GB SLI are noticeably better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II OC Edition.

The GTX 950 has a 44 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 670, but the GTX 670 has 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 950. As a result, the GTX 670 exhibits a 11.5 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 950. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The GTX 950 has a 44 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Render Output Units than the GTX 670. This results in the GTX 950 providing 34.1 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The GTX 950 was released over three years more recently than the GTX 670, and so the GTX 950 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GTX 670 when running the latest games.


The GTX 950 has 2048 MB more video memory than the GTX 670, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GTX 950 also has superior memory performance overall.

The GTX 950 has 19.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 670, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 950 is slightly better than the GTX 670.

The GeForce GTX 950 2GB SLI has 1536 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II OC Edition has 1344. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 950 is 2463 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 670 is 1422. The GTX 950 having 1041 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 950 delivers a noticeably smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 670.

The GeForce GTX 950 2GB SLI requires 180 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II OC Edition. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the GTX 950.

GPU Mini Review

Mini ReviewOverview
GeForce GTX 950 2GB SLI is a solution of two GeForce GTX 950 2GB put together using NVIDIA's SLI technology.


It consists of 2 GPUs codenamed GM206-250 which, together, offer 1536 Shader Processing Units, 96 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1127MHz and goes up to 1178MHz, in Turbo Mode.

Each GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. The Memory Clock Operates at 1653MHz.

Power Consumption
Power Consumption is around 180W.

Gaming benchmarks prove that at 1920x1080, the best suited resolution, GeForce GTX 950 2GB SLI is only around 5% slower than the older GeForce GTX 780, meaning a single GeForce GTX 970 is still considerably faster.

System Suggestions
GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II OC Edition is a Special Edition of the powerful GeForce GTX 670. See the standard version for more information about it.
The new features include an increase in the core-clock that went from 915MHz to 980MHz while the Turbo Boost is now of 1058MHz. A 20% more effective cooler is also included.
The performance boost is significant and around 5% when compared to the standard GTX 670.
Most demanding games will run at the highest settings.
