How hard is it to overclock a 970? Max out target power, +200 core, +500 mem. Done.. Why do you believe it would be any different with the 960?

Because if the 660 is anything to go buy Nv will gimp the max voltage so it doesn't make the next card up the ladder obsolete.

There's no guarantee it will be a monster overclocker, it's likely to have the potential but that doesn't mean they'll allow it, doesn't make sound business sense.

If those scores are legit, we're talking GTX770 beaters with GTX650ti power/heat figures here. As long as the price isn't too close to the GTX970 this is shaping up good.

Wouldn't surprise me. My passively cooled 750ti beats my old 660 SC, barely above 40 degrees overclocked and draws about 65w so it doesn't even need external power. Bonkers.

Look above. Does 1500+ boost clock

I have one of those

Its getting pretty darn long in the tooth now though!

Craterloads · 14 Jan 2015 at 17:23

Any word on the TDP?

+1

This is looking like a very nice budget GPU, good performance very low power use. Ideal for it's tier.

I don't think there's a single person on earth with a 5GHz 4960K ;P

Theres only one 4790k in the owners thread in cpu forum, 5ghz on 1.312v which is well within 24/7 voltage limits for that chip.

That's a golden chip right there. Crazy that in a few years and die shrinks time 5Ghz+ overclocking will likely be the norm

This will be a peach of a budget card. nVidia doing the business

Yep, very impressive chip. Have only seen a few like this across various forums.

Certainly hope so. Coming at a nice time too as the 650 ti boost in my second system is starting to act up. And theres no way it's getting a 780 from the main system.

I wish I lived in the same world where £200 GPUs were classed as budget gear

Yes it's budget compared with three Titans, but budget, really? It's more like mid tier as it's looking more and more likely you wont get much change (if any) from 200 notes.

It is a midrange budget card, just like the 460, 560, 660, 760 before it..

The pricing if below £200 is actually pretty good, considering way back the GTX 460 (2010: Another budget card) launched between £155 to £178.

Last i heard.. 100W TDP

Darujhistan · 19 Jan 2015 at 16:22

It's the 19th thought we would know more by now. Just a bump.

JustCallMeVlad · 19 Jan 2015 at 17:39

Launch is Thursday

rare · 19 Jan 2015 at 17:53

So is the rumoured Ti version not happening now we think?

I think it was always more likely that the ti's would come later.
