Gtx 950 vs gtx 750 (non ti)

[TommyKiller]

Hi, can you tell me, if it does make sense to change my GTX 750 1Gb with GTX 950 2Gb?
I have i3 2100, 8gb RAM and good 500W power supply. I mostly play new games, so my question is: do you think this card give some performance boost? Yeah, I know I should at first change CPU for some i5 at least, but anyway..

Thanks for reply!

Hi TommyKiller,

Yes, the GTX 950 2GB is a much stronger performer than the GTX 750. Just make sure your PSU has the required PCIe connector for the GTX 950, the requirements vary by which model you're looking at.

Hmm, my power supply has 6 pin cable for graphics card model im looking at needs, is that it?

 

[Luminary]

Yep, that's the one you need.

One more thing, I noticed a card has DVI port and my monitor is VGA. I found an adapter, but doesn't have all the pins, there are 8 + 4 and 4 with straight one. Do I need an adapter with all the pins?

Yes, you'll need a DVI-I to VGA adapter.

The DVI-I has all the pins and is what also carries the analog signal that VGA uses. The DVI model with less pins is DVI-D and only carries digital.
