Why It Mattered

GeForce GTX 950 belongs to the Maxwell 2.0 and GeForce 900 Series era around 2015, when PC graphics cards varied heavily by bus, memory chips, BIOS, cooler, and display outputs. Tracking the exact model helps retro builders distinguish period-correct boards from similarly named variants.
