MSI Launches New GeForce GTX 950 Graphics Cards with 75W Board Power
The new MSI GeForce GTX 950 models are the latest addition to MSI's line-up of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 900 series graphics cards. They demonstrate just how power efficient NVIDIA's Maxwell architecture can be, using only 75W power while still providing full GeForce GTX 950 performance. Due to this extreme efficiency, the new MSI GeForce GTX 950 models require no additional power from PEG connectors, but are powered completely through the PCIe slot. The new MSI GeForce GTX 950 models offer gamers with moderate budgets a perfect choice with smooth and solid gaming performance at Full HD, especially in MOBA games. MSI GeForce GTX 950 series cards are equipped with MSI's renowned Military Class 4 components to ensure the highest level of durability and stability.
When used with MSI's famous Afterburner overclocking utility, users can control the MSI GeForce GTX 950's core and memory clock speeds for fine-tuned performance in their creative apps. Afterburner supports the video capturing function Predator and can even be used on smartphones to monitor and control the graphics card in desktop computers. Combined with the Kombustor burn-in testing feature, Afterburner is an essential tool for everyone looking to get the most out of their graphics card.

excuse me? i can clearly read v2 on the white label there
so either the website that did the photos went to the trouble of replacing the label themselves or msi done screwed them (and is trying to screw me again)
It will get a little bit hot but that's nothing compared to that crazy solutions like GTX460 which was TDP 150W.
There are just not enough customer to buy one.
There are 2 Limitations that prevent that:
- There wouldn't be space for the 4 connectors to support the broad range of customers.:
1xDVI-I, 1xDVI-D, 1xHDMI, 1 DP-Port -> decide which one of the 3 you really need.
- The Cooler mounting needs to be adapted from the old Versions , that costs money and time.
Yes not much but it's different to the cheap plastic bling bling style.
You have to use about >850g copper and Aluminium for that amount of heat when considering the broad range of customers usage.
Wasted enough time testing GPUs till I found out that the first test for single slot good/bad Design is a weighing scale. ^^
Can't bring that Risk to the share holders except a company request a batch in single slot. ^^
And the other one is that Nvidia just doesn't like them as always.
They could prevent their sell of Quadro Cards which are singel Slot or whatever marketing mumbo jumbo they currently have.
