IT'S HAPPENING
>>53880765
Dont 950's draw up to ~180W under load?
This would be low clocked ofc., but I still have a hard time seeing it stay within 75W
>>53880853
No, you're retarded
GTX 950 is 90W TDP
>>53880904
90W is just average consumption you ding dong, plus PCI-E slots cant only give 75W anyway
>>53880943
Again, you're a moron
GTX 950 is 90W
These are 75W
>>53880904
No sir you are retarded TDP != Power Draw you sad mongoloid gamer. TDP equates to the energy dissipated in heat, you have to account for other energy consumptions/emmisions by the system to find true power draw. Or just check how many Volts it requires at a certain power draw. Power = Voltage*Current Draw (Or V*A for you). The PCI-Express Lane can only provide a certain amount of current without overheating and burning out like a high resistance cable under high load (This is why you cannot overload a single power outlet too much), thus the requirement of external power supply to the GPU.
>>53880943
This is also wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_design_power
TDP is heat generation and has nothing really to do with the power consumption. If the architecture of the GPU die has a high efficiency (lets say 95%) then even if the GPU needs 1000W of raw power then the TDP will be around 75-100 Watts.
>>53880956
You are also a Moron, read my posts,

The GTX 950 seems to have an average power draw of 180-230 Watts. It also depends on how good of an ASIC quality the die ships with.
happening what?
>>53881025
>TDP is heat generation and has nothing really to do with the power consumption.
It has a lot to do with power consumption. Efficiency is power out divided by power in. Since the output of a GPU is a low current low voltage signal efficiency is low. I'd be surprised if the output of a GPU reached 5W. The vast majority of power drawn by a cpu is spent switching transistors. Ever notice how video cables have tiny wires? That's because they're not designed to carry power. They're designed to carry information.
>>53881140
Yes i understand but i wanted to demonstrate that looking at the TDP of a GPU will not give you any feasible information on the power consumption. You need other metrics to calculate the actual power consumption.
>>53881059
>The GTX 950 seems to have an average power draw of 180-230 Watts.
It uses around 100 watt.
>>53881182
>i wanted to demonstrate that looking at the TDP of a GPU will not give you any feasible information on the power consumption
Then you failed miserably. TDP is going to be the maximum possible average power dissapated over a period of time long enough that thermal inertia will be irrelevant. Because of the low efficiency of a GPU, this is going to track very closely with maximum average power drawn when averaged over a length of time where thermal inertial is irrelevant. When it comes to a wires ability to carry current what matters is the maximum average when averaged over a time that makes thermal inertia irrelevant. The TDP gives you a lot of information about power consumption when most of the power consumed is dissapated as heat which is the case in GPUs.

not when under load
When does release, Pajeet?
>>53881422
>>>53881397
>not when under load
You probably are unable to differentiate between the card's consumption and the complete system's consumption.
I hope you're at least able to comprehend what i'm saying because i'm not gonna look it up again.
>>53881585
Release when on Designated shitting street
>>53881422
I'm seeing about 120W in tests under artificial full loads
about 100W in most gaming loads
to go from 120W to 75W in a worst case power draw scenario is huge, I'm thinking it's underclocked and will be marketed to quick prebuilt upgrades
>>53881807
What's the point? Do people really use 250W psus? The small form factor is a much more desirable aspect. At least people that'll build a microATX system can have a choice other than a Fury nano
>>53881894
> Do people really use 250W psus?
Nope, but people have shitty 400W ones in their shitty pre-builts.
>The small form factor is a much more desirable aspect
To a system builder who know how shit works, yeah, but not to the majority of the consumers
>>53881807
>mfw all the chips are super-binned to shit
>>53881894
Because it's 2016 and nobody is giving a shit on muh fulltower xl-atx shit except very small group of so-called "enthusiast" gaymen faggots, not talking about professional workstations. Modern home tech is small, lightweight, thin, has extremely low power consumption and provides more than enough performance for average usage.
>>53882746
>it's made for small PCs guys
>2 slots tall
nice try
>>53882746
I personally hate the whole power consumption thing being a main drive for selling shit these days. 400 watts will hardly make a dent on your monthly bill, let alone 30 fucking watts. And that is assuming you are using this device everyday for multiple hours at a time, under load!
I would much rather pay more for somthing that uses a bit more juice, then keep having things get more and more expensive, just to say "uses less energy then the other guy!" I don't know, maybe its because I don't pay utilities where I live but who cares that much?
>pushing ~100W through the pci bus
>on a shitty pre-built desktop motherboard
This is going to end badly for many people
>>53881025
>TDP is heat generation and has nothing really to do with the power consumption
Looks like someone failed thermodynamics.
>empty 6-pin header on the board
So it's just an underclocked/undervolted version of the normal 950?
>>53885543
Well it's not like EVGA is doing their own die shrinks now
How bad does you PSU have to be that it can't power a budget GPU? Don't GPU's typically come with those 4-pin converters anyway?
>>53883502
Well, at least with computers there's a consideration other than cost, and that's heat. A PC that actually uses 500W (which is SLI/Crossfire territory, mostly) can definitely heat up a room over the course of a few hours of gaming.
There is no underclock/undervolting
The speeds are exactly the same as the reference speeds of the GTX 950
>>53885503
They're related, but not necessarily directly linked

Two holes
What could it all mean?
>>53885721
If power goes into the computer, it has to come out. What do you think it comes out as? Light? Radio waves? Sound waves? Think about it for a minute. Those three combined might account for 1% of the total output, and the rest? Heat.
Moreover, the tiny amount that radiates as light/radio/sound? Once that bounces a few times and gets absorbed, what happens to it? That's right, it turns into heat. Virtually 100% of the electrical energy going into your computer will turn into heat before it ever leaves the room the computer is in.
>>53885658
Then it will throttle like no tomorrow
>>53885658
Yes, but there won't be any turbo boost.
>>53885728
someone drilled it thinking it was a 980
I have the normal single fan EVGA 950 and it's nice.
>>53885728
mounting holes for the power connector that would be there if it used one
it's cheaper to not include the components than to change the pcb
>>53885609
Are you autistic
>>53885728
That's where your 6 pin power cable would go, but this model doesn't need an extra power cable.
>>53888392
Not especially. Why, you got an autism fetish or something?
