1040 or 1050? 1050 possible but 1040 unlikely

1050. 2gens difference.

I would expect this card to outperform my 760 but looking at specs thats not happening...

Wait for benchmarks!

[Djole123]

I also think that the 1040 (and maaaybe 1050) will be a low profile card

Hopefully single slot

Fingers crossed!

These aren't even official. Videocardz has all these random specs they made up for all the different cards. They're just making it up. This shouldn't even be any article it's probably been up for so long. I recall searching it up a while back and the 490x had over 6000 Stream Processors.... And now it's like 2560.

Great, another 4GB buffer with a 128 nit bus. Did they not learn with the 960?

We don't know what kind of software compression improvements have been made, and the 960 may be memory bottlenecked but it still can be price competitive. We can't know if the 128 bit bus will have an impact until people start getting them in their PC's and actually testing.

Probably already posted, but those are rumored specs by the guys themselves, not leaked or based on anything.

Will change the title from "leaked" to "rumored".

If these specs are true, the 1050 looks to be slightly slower than an OCd 960 (clock speed difference) where compute is concerned. Should be slightly faster than the 950 in shader bound games.

 

Any confirmation on GDDR5X?

According to videocardz, only the top GTX 1080 model will have GDDR5X, so GTX 1070, 1060, 1050 and 1040 will all have regular GDDR5.

Bit of a shame. The 960 is pretty heavily bottlenecked by memory bandwidth, which probably means these lower end cards will be too.

A process shrink or not, it's a rebrand when everything else is the same - except clockspeed and temps

nope. You cannot just shrink a architecture just for fun. Several parts of a architecture REALLY doesnt like being shrunken.

 

For them to shrink the GM 106, they would need to redesign several parts of teh GPU to such an extent that it wouldnt even be comparable to what it was.

[Lethal Seraph]

I wouldn't say 'not bad actually' until they put up the price tag. It wouldn't be worth it if they cost a shit ton for little upgrade.

[FishTea]

let us see what Nvidia has in the stash for the lower end spectrum of their cards...

 

prev gens were just bunch of rebrands

Imagine an already low power GTX 750ti on 16nm....with its power consumption absurdly low for the performance delivered. Might replace my GTX 650ti OC 2GB with one and run it as my spare card (and my brother can have the 650ti as it is a lot more powerful than the iGPU in his laptop. Put it this way, its about as good as the 2003 Ati MR 9000igp, only with better DirectX 9+OpenGL support).

This is targeted at owners of GTX 750 and GTX 750Ti. Not 960 or 950.

I think I saw somewhere that their mainstream card will have 192bit... might be wrong.

Nvidia's not even gonna release them until much later. That always happens, just look at the 750 Ti, 950, etc.
