Good deal.
From what I can see it also supports hardware accelerated UHD HEVC and HEVC 10bit so a good media GPU too.

This is a great deal, good card for non hardcore gamers, plus an SSd which will improve overall performance of the computer.
If I had money, Id buy this!

It seems a really good HTPC card, no extra power required and will run completely silent. Or at least the Strix version will. I suspect this will as well... Asus flooding the market with multiple versions of the same card...

Cheers, is this card worth the £130, if there was no ssd option? Thinking to use this as a main card for the main pc. Not a huge gamer, but, if there were any games, they would be mid range and older games like skyrim or along those lines.
I would need to do some size checks first as will need to fit the 990 asrock mobo (confirmed) with a aftermarket noctua cpu fan

With regard to whether the card is worth £130 I'd have to side with the answer 'no' based on GTX 960 and R9 380 prices regularly dropping to similar price ranges for relatively significant performance boosts. Of similar prices options a 4GB 380 would be my pick at the £130-£150 range (This is however my own opinion based on what I currently know, and should not be treated as fact). This is a great deal if you are running integrated graphics and a classic hard drive however, SSDs are fantastic and every computer should run their OS from one. :smile:

Edit: deal posted earlier today is better for the GPU but obviously misses the SSD. I also prefer MSI as a manufacturer over ASUS but again that is personal preference. http://www.cclonline.com/product/206619/R9-380-GAMING-2G/Weekly-Deals/MSI-AMD-Radeon-R9-380-GAMING-2GB-Graphics-Card-PCI-Express-3-0-x16-2-x-DVI-DisplayPort/HDMI/VGA2908-DOTW/?siteID=TnL5HPStwNw-WAW_EC3XSeKV23GwnDzo3Q
Edit2: According to synthetic benchmarks (again, not an absolute comparison but a good indicator) the 380 is maybe 33% more powerful than the 950. http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
