Oath to I.T. : Geforce GTX 750 Maxwell Test

Geforce GTX 750 Maxwell test

First of all I would like to say that this has by far been the most dull month in a long time. But it is January and most companies tend to lay low this time of year to catch up to everything they had to do prior to the closing of the last.

Searching for something interesting happening has left me with a rather bleak news report about the new GTX 750 tested in Taiwan. The GTX 750 itself was presented already last year but this is the latest news about the “middle class” GPU section of Nvidia.

The Forum Coolaler published ,what they claim are, the first numbers of the Geforce GTX 750 Ti. Overall the GTX 750 is slower than the GTX 660 in all aspects. The funny thing is that right now it seems like the GTX 750 Ti also is slower in general than the GTX 650 Ti, and that seems odd since it is supposed to be the card that replaces the GTX 650 Ti, a possible explanation to why the figures are so low could be that the system used is an older version not optimized for Maxwell technology.

The details surrounding Maxwell are not yet known, but there is a lot of facts pointing towards that the first incarnation will stay at todays 28 nanometer tech and the newer circuits will possible go over to 20. Maxwell will also have support for “unified Virtual Memory”, which makes it possible for GPU and CPU to share address space.

Maxwell will also contain a 64-bit ARM processor with it’s own developed architecture from Denver. This is to avoid the reroute via the CPU, which results in a significant boost in GPGPU related scenarios.

The GTX 750 Ti will release in February and be in same pricerange as the GTX 650 Ti Boost started out in.
