Nvidia Cuts GTX 750 Ti Prices Ahead Of Upcoming GTX 950 Launch

Nvidia has reportedly slashed the toll on its GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphics bill of fare ahead of the GTX 950 launch coming upwards on the 17th of August. The new Maxwell 2.0 replacement for the GTX 750 Ti is based on GM206 silicon, the same GPU used in the GTX 960. However the GPU will exist cut down and as a result the card will feature fewer CUDA cores and volition slot in right below the GTX 960.

The MSRP for the GTX 750 Ti has reportedly exist cutting by around $20 to make it more competitive with AMD's R7 360 graphics card every bit well as to articulate some room for the upcoming entry level GTX 950 graphics card. Co-ordinate to the study from Hardware.fr the price cuts have already taken effect in France and the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, however a quick check Newegg.com reveals that the new price cuts have already began to take effect on a couple of GTX 750 Ti models from MSI and Zotac. Bringing the price downwardly to $119, the aforementioned you'd typically pay for a refurbished 750 Ti just a few weeks dorsum. MSI went even further and brought the toll downwardly from $119 to $89 with a $xxx mail-in rebate. Then if you're looking for a 750 Ti - which we chose for our budget build - this is an exceptionally good deal and probably your best bet.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 will reportedly feature the GM206-250-A1 GPU with half dozen SMM units that business firm 768 CUDA Cores, 48 texture mapping units and will retain the 32 ROPs. Based on the Maxwell GPU architecture that is a superb clocker, the GPU will come up with clocks of 1150 to 1250 MHz base of operations and 1350 upwardly to 1450 MHz boost clock speeds. On the retentiveness side, the card volition feature 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM that operates along a 128-bit bus, running at 6.half dozen to vi.75 GHz and a maximum bandwidth output of 107.68 GB/due south. The card is going to feature a 90W TDP which will be 10W lower than AMD's entry level card (R7 360) but overall, the GTX 950 will be the faster out of the ii. Display ports on the card volition include Dual-Link DVI-D/DVI-I, HDMI two.0 and a Display Port one.ii connector

Earlier this month we accurate predicted that Nvidia will be introducing toll cuts on its entry level Maxwell cards to amend its competitive stance against the much more aggressively positioned R7 370 and R7 360 graphics cards from AMD. With the introduction of the GTX 960 Nvidia is looking to bring a competing product to AMD'due south $150 Trinidad based R7 370 graphics carte. And reposition its GTX 750 Ti with the new pricing structure to compete against AMD'southward R7 360.

Nosotros don't anticipate many more graphics launches from now until the back to school flavor next twelvemonth. With the exception of AMD's upcoming dual GPU R9 Fury X2 17.2 teraflop monster and the R9 Nano, which has all the makings of the fastest mini-ITX graphics card we've ever seen. Likewise every bit a dual GM200 GPU which Nvidia is undoubtedly readying equally we speak.
All the same afterward next year is when both AMD and Nvidia will be introducing their truly next generation graphics cards. Based on AMD'due south Chill Islands graphics architecture and Nvidia'south Pascal graphics architecture. Both featuring a brand new manufacturing procedure with double the density, translating to double the performance for the same scrap size nosotros run across today on the 28nm GTX 900 series and R 300 series graphics cards.

The new entrants side by side year will also be packing the brand new HBM2 stacked memory which AMD has secured priority access to - owing to its contribution to the invention of the applied science- and Nvidia will be using upward to 32GB of which in its upcoming flagship Pascal scrap. HBM2 will have up to viii times the memory capacity and double the bandwidth of the outset generation of HBM which is exclusive to AMD's Fiji GPU used in the R9 Fury X, R9 Fury and R9 Nano cards. Nvidia's and AMD'southward next generation GPUs and AMD'due south re-entry to the enthusiast CPU segment with Zen makes next year quite an exciting one.
