Titolo: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Allegedly Postponed To Q1 2015 Due To Strong GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 Sales

Non gli stanno piu' dietro.
 
Strano che ne vendano cosi' tante con la golosa offerta 
AMHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
 
NVIDIA’s next generation budget-friendly GeForce GTX 960 graphics card 
may have been postponed to Q1 2015 as reported by 
GDM.OR.JP
. The 
Japanese based retailers which are highly accurate with dates and 
specification of upcoming products have revealed that due to strong 
sales for the GeForce GTX 980 and GeForce GTX 970, both cards with 
remain the flagship GeForce 900 series products for this year while the 
more budget friendly and sub-$300 US cards will hit the market next 
year.
 
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Allegedly Postponed To Q1 2015
 
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 was initially rumored to launch in October 
2014 but as explained above, the card will now be hitting the market 
along with several other Maxwell based parts in Q1 2015. There’s still 
no official confirmation regarding this and we know there won’t be any 
from NVIDIA on unreleased products and we will have to wait and dig out 
the information ourselves but as far as specifications go, we did a 
analysis of the some of the possible scenarios which NVIDIA can adopt 
for the GeForce GTX 960.
 
Just a few hours ago, NVIDIA introduced their GeForce 900M series 
“Maxwell” mobility lineup which include two new flagship parts after 
the 3-Year stay of the previous Kepler based GK104 parts. The GeForce 
GTX 980M and GeForce GTX 970M are the new flagships in the market 
powering a slew of high-end to premium notebook devices across the 
market. This is the single and most biggest update which has come to 
the mobility market in some time since both team NVIDIA and team AMD 
have been releasing rebrands of their Pitcairn and Kepler GK 104 parts 
since the last three years hence you might be looking at bigger than 
normal performance updates.
 
But the GeForce GTX 900M series have given us a hint at what could be 
the future of the desktop based sub-$300 parts. As noted in the 
specifications, the GeForce GTX 980M features 1536 cores with 96 TMUs, 
64 ROPs and a 256-bit bus clocked at 1038 MHz for the core and 5.0 GHz 
(effective) for memory. The second chip is more cut down with 1280 CUDA 
cores, 80 TMUs, 48 ROPs and a 192-bit bus clocked at 924 MHz for core 
and 5.0 GHz (effective) clock for memory. Now this goes off to show 
that Maxwell has a lot of room for more SKUs and NVIDIA won’t even have 
to rely on the GM206 chip for the GeForce GTX 960 graphics card. But 
here’s the deal, there are two cut down parts below the GTX 970, one 
with 1536 cores and the other with 1280 cores. And to make it spicy, 
the GTX 970 also has two SM difference between the faster GeForce GTX 
980. Summing up the SMs, we have the GTX 970M with 10 SM units enabled, 
GTX 980M with 12, GTX 970 with 13 and GTX 980 with 16 SM units enabled.
 
Now this part is entirely speculation but from what I can see and 
remember, the Kepler generation had two *60 parts. The GeForce GTX 660 
and GeForce GTX 660 Ti. The GeForce GTX 660 Ti had the GK104 core while 
the GTX 660 had the GK106 core. Now this was a huge difference between 
the cards. Both cards relied on a 192-bit bus interface with 3 GB VRAM.
 
 This time we might see one or even two cards, the GTX 960 Ti and GTX 
960. The price for the faster GeForce GTX 960 will almost certainly be 
$249 US if there are two parts while the other would cost around $199 – 
$229 US. If there are two cards, then we can see the same configuration 
as the mobile parts for each card. The faster one featuring 1536 cores 
and a 256-bit bus followed by the slower and cheaper one featuring 1280 
cores and 192-bit bus. But the hard part is what if there’s only one 
card? Then we might possibly be looking at the 192-bit solution. NVIDIA 
does have a habit of releasing cut down budget cards in the market and 
this might be a repeat since the GTX 970 was two SMs cut from the 
flagship Maxwell and the 960 might be a similar cut down version.
 
We didn’t confirm anything but just pointed at a few things you can 
expect to come. The card looks like a Q1 2015 launch and whether or not 
its true, will be found out this month. To keep things heated up in the 
graphics industry, AMD might have an event planned for this week as 
indicated by their statement on Twitter but let’s see if its related to 
the price cut that was instated a few days ago or something more than 
that.

Chi, Nvidia ad Ati intendi dire, vero?
 
Non ti rendi conto che la 290 e' meglio perche' boh?
 
Cioe' non ho ben capito ma Ender Game ha detto cosi' quindi e' meglio.
