ZOTAC's GTX 950 AMP! Edition is the only GTX 950 with a backplate. It is cooled by a full-metal thermal solution that gives the product a high-quality look and feel. The card is also the fastest in our tests thanks to a large overclock on both the GPU and memory.

Nice to see 4 variants reviewed @ release day!
Will this happen more often in the future or just a one time thing? (or a maybe?)

I'm hoping for it when the next gtx 970 equivalent releases (1070 or whatever it'll be called) :p
Especially for the noise vs Temperature.

Is Zotac the only company recently with the balls to overclock their cards like this at least on NVidia's side? I mean seriously they keep releasing cards with awesome overclocks and on this card they even push the memory higher!!!

Man makes me like Zotac cards now, seems like they have been doing all they can to show their cards are awesome with these great coolers and awesome starting clocks!

Eh not sure on that PSU but as long as you have a 6 pin connector on the PSU that should be more than adequate to run it.

It should work ok since that card is pretty low power and the CPU does not eat up the rest of that power. The big problem would be how the rails are on the PSU and how they are split. You could try it and if it does not work you just need to upgrade to a cheap PSU in the 430-500 watt range if it causes problem.
