This vs. MSI GeForce GTX 950 DirectX 12 GAMING 2G? Which one is better?

this card will have similar quality but keep in mind that this card does not have a 6-pin or 8-pin power port. It gets its power from the pci-e connection. The other card will have slightly better quality but it is not noticeable by many people. I have used the ocv3 card for at least a month and have had no issues. It runs very well on all of the games I have played. If you would like the fps for cs go or minecraft I can benchmark the games. Good luck.

does this need a 6 pin power cable or does it get its power from plugging it in to the motherboard?

It receives its power from the. Pci-e connection.
