Just installed Samsung 950 PRO in the PCIex16_5 slot on Asus X99 Deluxe II. This slot does not share lanes with any of the other ones, so should be getting full speed (6850K, 16GB RAM, BIOS up-to-date, the latest Samsung driver installed for the 950).
Sadly, especially random reads are slower than they could be.
First off, I know that you're supposed to make threads = 4 in CrystalDisk, but even then:

So that random read is still only 66% of the supposed max of 300K IOPS.
In fact, the 950 is slower than my 850 Evo in Rapid Mode:

What am I missing? Thanks for your help!
