So far, 2015 has given us a bounty of high-end graphics cards. If you want to spend somewhere north of three hundred bucks on a graphics card and heck, maybe three times that then you have plenty of shiny new options from which to choose. I've spent a borderline scandalous amount of time testing graphics cards in 4K resolutions in the past six months.

Playing with the fancy toys is nice, but it's not very realistic. The vast majority of PC gamers play at resolutions of 1080p or below, and for the most part, you can get away with using a much more affordable graphics card when you "only" have a couple of megapixels to paint. That's pretty much the rationale behind the GeForce GTX 950, a new entry in Nvidia's graphics card lineup that promises a nice mix of price and performance.
