Zotac GeForce GTX 950 AMP! Edition 2GB Review – Best GTX 950 in the Market?

Zotac GTX 950 AMP! Edition Test Setup

I tested the Zotac GTX 950 AMP! Edition in two different systems. The first one is with an Asus Maximus VI Impact powered with an Intel Pentium G3258 processor for our MOBA game benchmarks. Second, I tested the card with an X99 system for the general game benchmarks. I’m having issues with some games, like The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, with the G3258 CPU. It’s limiting the card’s performance and the CPU can’t seem to coupe up with the game. Thus I tested it on another system to avoid any bottlenecking issues. Below are the rest of the specifications of the test systems.
