NVIDIA GTX 950 confirmed — no Ti [UPDATE]

We have previously shared news about the new GM206-250 silicon, rumored to be powering the upcoming NVIDIA GTX 950 Ti. However it has just been confirmed that the card carrying the GM206-250 GPU will be the NVIDIA GTX 950, sans the Ti suffix.

The GM206-250 silicon’s full specifications still has not been revealed but we expect less CUDA cores and lower frequencies compared to the full GM206 GPU in the NVIDIA GTX 960. The rest of the specification should remain largely similar to the full GM206 silicon. Memory bandwidth will most probably still be maintained at 128 bits, feeding 2GB or 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM.

This card should be released sometime in these few weeks, so stay tuned. We will update this post as we get more information about this card.

[UPDATE]: The specifications are revealed along with launch date!

Pokdepinion: Just a matter of naming. But with a Ti suffix the card sounds much better. Doesn’t really matter as long as it has a good price to performance ratio. Maybe NVIDIA is planning on another 750-750 Ti-esque update thus keeping the 950 Ti name until the next architecture, Pascal, is ready? Putting out a new architecture on the budget mid-range makes quite a lot of sense as the pricing enables more people to actually buy the card and sort of beta-test it, so that any major bugs in the architecture can be spotted and ironed out before releasing the big hitters.
