NVIDIA's Maxwell Based GeForce GTX 880 and GeForce GTX 870 To Launch in Early October - GeForce GTX 860 Hits Market In Late October

NVIDIA'south next generation Maxwell core architecture based GeForce GTX 880, GeForce GTX 870 and GeForce GTX 860 will launch in October this year, equally reported by GDM.OR.JP. The site which is part of one of the most major hardware retailers in Nippon have been pretty accurate with their earlier leaks and then we will presume that the October launch time-frame is quite accurate considering the launch was planned for Q4 2022 was narrowed downward to October / Nov a few weeks ago and at present nosotros accept a much more accurate schedule of NVIDIA'due south Maxwell GPU launches.

NVIDIA Maxwell Based GeForce GTX 880 and GeForce GTX 870 To Launch in Early October

The beginning ii Maxwell cards to launch in the consumer market would be the high-performance GeForce GTX 880 and GeForce GTX 870. These cards will feature the GM204 core compages which is the successor of the GK104/GK114 core from the Kepler generation. From little things nosotros know thanks to the leaked PCB shot of NVIDIA'due south alleged GeForce GTX 880 graphics card, we come to know that the core beingness used for the sample variant wasGM204-INT41684-A1 yet there has been a little variation in the codename and information technology is at present called GM204-CS0-A1(note that the CS stands for Consumer Sample) which means that concluding testing is nether way and the chip will soon cease up in the consumer marketplace as the GeForce GTX 880. The chip is also the kickoff of 4 variants which will make their manner to the balance of the lineup including the GeForce GTX 870.

The GeForce GTX 870 on the other mitt will exist a cut down variant of the GK204 core featured on GeForce GTX 880 with some disabled SMM (Streaming Multiprocessor Maxwell) units. Its not know what specifications does the GM204 agree in general but information technology does feature a dice size larger than its predecessor which is due to the existing 28nm process technology and the card volition brand use of high-frequency SKHynix H5GQ4H24MFR 0.5G clocked at seven GHz. We will most probably be looking at a 256-bit since the memory system as seen on the ES lath is similar to the GeForce GTX 680 ES board and the last consumer variant. The card was shown with 8 GB GDDR5 memory which is a lot of VRAM for a reference card only we believe that the cards volition send in 4 GB variants. Aside from that, the total power consumption would be similar to Kepler effectually 195W just it volition deliver operation on scale with some of the overclocked GeForce GTX 780 Ti'southward nosotros have seen. If the contempo GeForce GTX 880 benchmark is taken for reference, we might exist looking at a 20-xxx% performance uplift from Maxwell over GK110 which is insane and makes us wonder the performance uplift with the GM200 core which won't ship to consumers till next yr.

The GeForce GTX 880 and GeForce GTX 870 will launch close to each other in early October equally was the example with GeForce GTX 780 and GeForce GTX 770 which were introduced in a week's departure of each other. The prices expected for these cards would be $499 for GeForce GTX 880 and $399 for GeForce GTX 870.

The one thing that disappoints me the most is that we may not see the upcoming cards on the new 20nm node only rather the existing 28nm node. Now I am not maxim that the cards won't perform well and NVIDIA has already demonstrated that Maxwell, fifty-fifty on 28nm could be a major deal breaker in power efficiency as seen with their sub-70W GTX 750 Ti and GTX 750 cards. Simply it would accept been actually dainty to see new 20nm cards in 2022 by AMD and NVIDIA. Simply at present, nosotros can expect a quick replacement for the current cards in 2022 every bit indicated by several sources on the 20nm procedure.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860 Hits Market In Belatedly October

Soon after launch, NVIDIA is expected to launch a third Maxwell graphics carte aiming the more than budget and gaming crowd, known as the GeForce GTX 860. The spiritual successor of NVIDIA'due south about sold GeForce GTX 660 and GTX 760 graphics cards is said to enter the market in tardily Oct at a price point of around $299 US. Specifications and details are not known virtually this part merely if the SKUs rumor is taken into consideration, so the GeForce GTX 860 might also finish up with the GM204 core rather the GM206 core which is believed to terminate up with GTX 850 Ti and such parts. The residual of the lineup would be a mix of GM107 and GK208 chips. NVIDIA will non innovate a new low-finish chip for a long time and hence they accept chosen to rename their entry-level GK108 chip, GK208.

For cooling, NVIDIA recently patented the so called Turbofan which is a Axial-Radial Hybrid fan design like to what MSI's currently offering on their current Mini-ITX cards. So nosotros might encounter a new cooling blueprint on the menu and details on the new axial-radial cooling fan are given beneath:

"The present invention provides a turbofan and a graphics menu with the turbofan. The turbofan comprises: a turbofan assembly which admits air in an axial direction and dispenses air in a radial direction; an inlet fan assembly disposed at an inlet of the turbofan assembly and disposed coaxially with the turbofan assembly: and a driving means for driving the turbofan assembly and the inlet fan assembly to rotate. The turbofan provided by the inventiongathers the ambient air to the inlet through the inlet fan associates disposed at the inlet of the turbofan assembly, so as to modify a negative pressure state at the inlet. Consequently, the cooling efficiency of the turbofan is improved finer and the noise of the turbofan is reduced." via BitsnChips

NVIDIA GM200.GM210 (Maxwell Compages, High-Functioning for Telsa/Quadro Arrives later for Cosnumers, Successor of GK110)
NVIDIA GM204 (Maxwell Architecture, High-Terminate Consumer, Successor of GK104, Outset GeForce 800 Serial Products likely to feature)
NVIDIA GM206 (Maxwell Architecture, Performance Minded, Successor of GK206, Mid-Range GeForce 800 Series products to feature)
NVIDIA GM107/207 (Maxwell Architecture, Entry Level, Successor of GK107, Entry Level GeForce 800/700 Series To feature, Already introduced on GTX 750 Ti / GTX 750)
