The next mid-range graphics card from NVIDIA is expected to launch on August 20 and will have 768 CUDA cores.
According to a leak reported by VideoCardz.com, the numbers confirm earlier rumors on the GTX 950 specifications. Images and specifications acquired by VideoCardz show several different manufacturer's versions of the card.
The 90w card has a 128-bit memory bus and 2GB of GDDR5 memory. The report didn't mention a price, however, but given the fact that the 950 is positioned as the middle-of-the-road option right between the $200 USD GeForce GTX 960 and the $150 GTX 750ti, it stands to reason that the price will also fall somewhere in the middle of that range.
According to the report, Gigabyte has two versions of the GTX 950 coming down the pike, one with a WindForce 2X cooling solution and the other using a single 90mm fan. Both versions will be factory over-clocked.
Also shown are several variations from Zotac: a GeForce GTX 950 clocked at reference speed, a GTX 950 OC overclocked to 1102/1279 MHz, and the GTX 950 AMP! with 1203/1403 MHz clocks and memory clocked at 7 GHz.
The rumored August 17 release date has come and gone, but it looks like we're very close to seeing these cards on store shelves, both in real life and online.
