According to a report by Sweclockers, NVIDIA is preparing to release its next Maxwell GPU, GM206, in January as GTX 960. Aimed at the $250-$300 market, the GTX 960 will perform similar to the GTX 770, albeit at much lower power and price. It will likely go up against AMD’s Radeon R9 290, although we will wait and see what AMD has coming by then.
Interestingly, GM206 is reported to have an extremely slim 128-bit memory bus, which is half that of not just GK104 or GK204 but even it’s predecessor, GK106, which featured a 192-bit bus. NVIDIA will most likely make up for the loss in bandwidth with higher memory clocks and more importantly, lossless compression.
GTX 960 is expected to be showed off behind closed doors at CES 2014, with an official release later in the January 2015. We also expect GM206 to show up in one of the recently leaked mobile GPUs, either GTX 960M or GTX 965M.
