Rumors were floating around the web that the much awaited GeForce GTX 960 from Nvidia will be released this January 22nd, just days before GTA: V will be launched for the PC. That alone might make some gamer-pantsus wet since the card is expected to fill in the gaps that the GTX 970 and GTX 980 made.
Now WCCFTech, a well known and viable source of tech related news and reviews have shared a credible source of what’s up with Nvidia’s next midrange champion, the GTX 960. It turns out that it will come in Three (3) variants, namely a standard GTX 960, and Two Ti Editions.
The 3 variants will feature different amounts of CUDA Cores, with the top end GTX 960 Ti, most probably the “Ultra Edition”, will be equipped with 1536 SP. – That’s 128 SPs away from the GTX 970 so performance should really be close, as evidently seen on the benchmark above provided by WCCFTech’s source. It’s actually 2.82% faster than the GTX 780’s performance according to the said source.
The other GTX 960 Ti variant do feature a lower SP count at 1280, so it’s supposed to be marginally slower. But, the source chart shows that it’s just 8.5% below the GTX 780’s performance which is surprisingly good. The plain GTX 960 however is just 5.86% faster than its predecessor, the GTX 760 so there’s hardly a reason to buy it, unless it will feature a great overclocking potential and marginally better power to performance ratio compared to the part it will replace.
wawa nman po yung na hype buy ng 970. sa lazada pa umorder tsktsk hahaha
lol, sino kaya yun? :P
