14 DAY TRIAL // According to sources in Japan at Hermitage Akihabara, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 graphics card will be released next week, on August 20.
Although lately the new card has appeared in a series of constant leaks that detail its technological specs, now more concrete info about the GPU used and memory availability have surfaced.
Some leaked driver info shows us that the GTX 950 will feature the Maxwell GM206 GPU for sure, coupled with 2GB GDDR5 of available memory, with an alternative version boasting 4GB of memory also under works.
According to VideoCardz, the new GTX 950 is made to replace the older GM107 GPU-based GeForce GTX 750 series. It is unknown if the new graphics card will have the same power requirements, but chances are high it will be a sub-100W solution.
As a confirmation of this speculation, the leaked unreleased driver (353.58) that will be launched to support the GTX 950 points very clearly at a GM206 GPU, since the only graphics card that has the 14xx designation is the GTX 960.
A leaked GPU-Z screengrab from Expreview shows the GPU as being unofficially labeled as 1402. So all the info is here, and now all we have to do is wait for the new GTX 950 to hit the stores.
As we mentioned before, this will be a mid-entry graphical solution from NVIDIA that will compete with AMD’s R7-370 within the $150 (€134) price range.
