News - First pictures of Nvidia GM107 'Maxwell' GPUs emerge

[HEXUS]

Footprint and power consumption said to be dramatically lower than any Kepler part.

Further details of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 and Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti can be found thanks to some information/screens from a pair of AIC branded cards being published. The referenced UK Gaming Computers source article has been taken down but TechPowerUp poached some pictures.

The thing is though the GK106 is probably a 256 bit part with more ROPs,but is artificially hobbled - even the power limits are very low compared to other SKUs. Nvidia did this before with the GTS450. However,they probably had more than enough GK104 salvage parts and this is why we saw the GTX660TI and GTX760.

The GM107 looks like a fully enabled die,so unless there is an equivalently specced Kepler die,we cannot say whether Maxwell is much lower power and/or more transistor efficient anyway.

Its nice the GTX750TI is bus powered,however remember there was the odd bus powered HD7850 too(!).

It will be interesting to see how the GTX750TI and GTX660 compare at 1920X1080 though especially with AA.

Passive GM107-400 would be interesting. Might put my Radeon 260 plans on hold to see how this shakes out.

It might not boost that much if passively cooled though.

OTH,if the power limits are like with my GTX660,ie,quite low,it probably will be OKish.

So. Late, 28nm, and launching the LOW end parts first? Something doesnt seem right at the NV house...

It does however amuse me they are finally taming the fusion reactor that was fermi down to something reasonable.

Awaiting gaming benchmarks, and maybe just maybe the Ti may replace my ancient 5570...

whats so great about this the gm107-400 has a worse memory bus and the same amount of shaders meaning its slower then the kepler version. It's automatically going to use less power because the gpu doesnt perform as high. So it will have to take a rly huge decline in power use to be anything noteworthy.

This will make things interesting, can see this in small form factor systems, will wait to see how the mid range versions pan out to possibly replace the 9600gt based card I have as it won't doing games that use above dx10.

This GTX750 non-TI has appeared for around £100:

I wonder how much the GTX750TI will cost then??

[HalloweenJack]

£114.99 is *********** review is correct
