B.S. 950 at that price is awesome. Link to a card that has double the H.265 decode performance for $60 more.
Don't try and reason with a PC hardware company fan that claims not to be.

I thought Skylake had a hybrid decoder? Pretty sure it is.
HDMI 2.0 is the bigger deal with 4K tvs being much cheaper than monitors for the foreseeable future.
Broadwell was hybrid decode. Skylake brings hardware HEVC encode/decode. Kaby Lake adds HEVC 10 bit support & full hardware VP9 support.
That's right , just 8 bit. Thanks.
The GTX 960-950 decoder was ahead of the game for sure.

Hey if you're happy you're happy I just threw my opinion in. I figured you were not a gamer that would benefit from such cards but I still personally don't think k it's a good deal, but with such a hard limit in place and given your gaming selection why not?
Although my only recommendation to you next time is to check the used market, evga refurbished market, and see the performance to reward ratio of extending your budget 50-100 or of spending less and seeing the potential performance loss.
Just my own casual advice for buying cards or anything really.
Like I said I once was you. But now I know more.I never buy used hardware. I've seen how other people live. *shudder*
It's also not so much about the money. I could have gotten a faster card but I would probably never actually experience any advantage based on my usage. In fact, CS:GO plays amazingly well even on the integrated HD530 intel graphics on this skylake chip. I honestly am coming up with specious reasons for even justifying the need for the 950.

If for $60 more you can literally get double the performance and then some. So if you were making this thread looking for people to agree with you that you're gtx 950 purchase was a great idea, I have to respectfully disagree.
I think it's a terrible idea, but if you're happy you're happy.
We're all still waiting for you to post a link to that new card that is 100% faster for only $60...........
People on this forum are extremely biased towards an AMD product, so much so , they will rain on your parade because you chose something other than AMD.
