Performance comparison: which is faster?
GeForce GTX 670 (NVIDIA, 2012) and GeForce GTX 950 (NVIDIA, 2015) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: GTX 670 is about 7.1% faster
Both have 2GB of VRAM, so they support a similar range of generative AI models. For gaming, prioritize performance score and CPU compatibility; for AI, prioritize VRAM.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual fps varies by resolution, game, and CPU configuration.
| Item | GTX 670 | GTX 950 |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 4,500 | 4,200 |
| VRAM | 2GB | 2GB |
| Manufacturer | NVIDIA | NVIDIA |
| Series | GTX 600 | GTX 900 |
| Release Year | 2012 | 2015 |
| Compatible CPU Example | AMD FX-4100 | AMD Phenom II X4 945 |
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | GTX 670 |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | GTX 670 |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | GTX 950 (the lower model is often sufficient) |
GTX 670 is about 7.1% higher by score (GTX 670: 4500 points / GTX 950: 4200 points). Actual fps also varies by resolution, game, and CPU, so price is a reasonable deciding factor when the gap is only a few percent.
Both have 2GB of VRAM, so the range of generative AI models they can run is nearly the same.
Using our guideline, AMD FX-4100 pairs well with GTX 670 and AMD Phenom II X4 945 with GTX 950 (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
