Nvidia GTX 9XXM

[little_shiet]

Greeting everyone, 

 

I would like to make thread about mobile new generation 9XXM from Nvidia. Here's some info from internet (sources at bottom) and I would like to make discussion about it.

 

GeForce GTX 900M series will be named:

• GT 940M*
• GTX 950M*
• GTX 960M*
• GTX 970M
• GTX 975M
• GTX 980M (Spips in October)

​​​*No info about them at this moment

 

 

About GeForce 9XXM series

 

This generation will be based on GM204 chip. Probably this chip will be in version GM204B and still 28nm process. This generation promises desktop class gaming and 980M/97xM may be capable of gaming beyon 1080p. But main WOW is in power consumption, because Nvidia announces that this Maxwell generation is able to run on battery (100W) and also lower thermal output.

And there is new update in technology Nvidia Battery Boost which was used in 8XXM series. This technology hold 30+ FPS and hold it at this level if you need to. For example if you play FPS you need more FPS (lol - first person shooter, frames per second) but if you play strategy or some static game you dont need high FPS for static scene. With Battery Boost works new updated Nvidia Experience with plugged and battery optimalization settings. Anytime you can play game higher than 30 FPS (I would say 60 FPS in 980M) and on battery you can still manage quite long game time.

 

 

In compare to Kepler, this Maxwell generation has from 1.5 to 2 times faster NVENC video encoder (from 6 to 8 times the speed of playback). Pure Video Feature Set E decoding should go from 8 to 10 times better thanks to cache and memory efficiency. But still H.265 is not fully hardware supported for decoding, so is used hardware and software mix for decoding boost instead.

 

970M and 975M

GTX has core clock of 954 MHz and it should be able to operate at 954-993 MHz. It has 6GB memory and according to all data I've read 975M is going to have higher core and memory clock or in my opinion 970M would have 4GB memory and 975M 6GB - this is just speculation. But stil 97XM version has slower memory bus it's 192 bit, but still outperforms all curren mobile cards. In compare to 980M is 20% slower. Release date is unknown.

 

980M

Has 8GB memory as 880M and same memory bus - 256 bit. Core speed is nice 1032 MHz and boost is up to 1098 MHz. This performace is capable to play on highest settings on 1080p at 60FPS. TDP is unknow but probably is going to be around 100-115 W.

 

 

And there is some crazy result 980 vs 980M Two way SLI. 980 got at Fire Strike nice 10415 and 980M SLI (yes its SLI, but hey it's laptop card) got awesome 13181. 980M SLI is totatly 1080p 60 FPS Ultra settings choice, probably nothing you throw at it gonna stop it bellow 60 FPS. Videocardz.com said that from unknown reason 980M SLI is insanely greater than 980, scaling is 95%+! "Whether this is just a well written driver or a new technology for mobile GPUs, we do not know yet.". 980M is going to be shipped in October.

Nvidia is just wrecking AMD right now

 

Glad that we are getting more powerful mobile GPUs too, hopefully they won't cause laptop prices to go up!

laptops finally catching up to desktops... scary

Oh. Oh my. I think I may have just soiled myself.

My Samsung's GT520m now equals a GT900,00000001m

The 980m has 8GB of VRAM? My system hás the same amount of RAM
