NVIDIA Maxwell Geforce GTX 970 Specs Leak Out - 1664 CUDA Cores, 1Ghz+ Clock and 4GB GDDR5 At

Well well well, the leak we have all been waiting for has arrived. The source is the Chinese Baidu Graphics Mail service bar and everything from GPU shots to Specs of the Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 accept leaked out. The leak confirms the specs of the GTX 970 Maxwell GPU. Galaxy GeForce GTX 970 GC 4 GB GDDR5

Nvidia Maxwell GM204 GPU - GTX 970 Rocks 1664 Cores, 4GB of GDDR5 Memory and 1Ghz+ Core Clock

Equally you already know, the release date for the GTX 970 is 19th of September, and then we are literally a calendar week or and then away from the official unveiling. The GeForce GTX 980 and the GTX 970 are the upcoming flagship GPUs from Nvidia and will be based on the GM204 GPU. We have seen leaked operation numbers only now we finally have an authentic spec leak for the aforementioned. Two cards have merged from the Chinese forums which include the reference and non-reference GeForce GTX 970 variants from vendor Galaxy Microsystems. We volition first of all particular the reference variants which features the same short PCB design featured on the GeForce GTX 670 and even adopts the same reference cooling scheme.

The GeForce GTX 970 has the Device Id "NVIDIA D17U-20″ and the GPU Id for the graphics core is 13C2. We have our own speculation regarding that but before we get into that, let's denote the entire specifications listed on the GPU-z panel. The GM204 SKU featured on the GeForce GTx 970 fuses 1664 CUDA Cores on the die along with 32 ROPs and 138 TMUs. From the starting time generation Maxwell cadre architecture, we learned that a Maxwell SMM (Streaming Multiprocessor Maxwell) unit has 128 cores compared to 192 on the electric current generation Kepler SMX units. The TMU count is a scrap off since the maxwell core architecture holds viii TMUs per SMX so we were supposed to encounter 104 TMUs in full instead of 138 so it could be a GPU-Z error which could mean that these specifications might not be the actual deal.

Along with that, nosotros have a 4 GB GDDR5 memory running across a 256-Bit retentivity interface clocked at 1753 MHz (vii.00 GHz Effective) which pumps out 224.4 GB/s bandwidth. The core clock is maintained at 1051 MHz and 1178 MHz boost clock something which I was expecting if the cards were to be able to take on the GK110 core based graphics cards. Lastly, we have the make full charge per unit numbers which amount to 33.half-dozen GPixels/s Pixel and 145.0 GTexels/s Texture fill rates.

Coming to the not-reference variant, namely the GeForce GTX 970 GC from Milky way which adopts their dual fan cooling design featuring an aluminum metal shroud with a big aluminum fin heatsinks that incorporates heat pipes. The GC variant features a standard PCB size and is powered by a 6+8 Pin power configuration as compared to dual 6-Pin connectors establish on the reference model. The clock speeds are additional to 1103 MHz core, 1230 MHz boost and 1814 MHz for the memory clock. The best matter well-nigh Maxwell GM204? The chip on the GeForce GTX 970 is reported to feature a TDP of simply 148W. Our source confirm that not-reference models may go slightly higher than 150W only if we are seeing Titan similar operation from a 150W chip at $399 United states, then who needs 20nm?

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 Leaked Performance Numbers:

Some new numbers reveal that the GeForce GTX 970 score 3963 3DMarks in 3DMark 11 Extreme way simply it should be noted that the arrangement was benchmarked on a Core i3 platform and then functioning did take a massive hit and is non conclusive on the final product and numbers which nosotros are expected to see during the next week.

Previous operation numbers of the GeForce GTX 970 were also interesting considering they are really close to the GeForce GTX 780. The carte was tested with a Intel Core i7-4820K CPU and is currently a test sample and so final performance updates and drivers are not in place considering the GPU-z couldn't even recognize the card properly until the database is updated. In the 3DMark 11 Operation and Extreme modes, the GeForce GTX 970 was able to score P11919 points and X4625 marks respectively. A GeForce GTX 780 on the other hand on average scores around X4500 points and P12000 points. With the GeForce GTX 970 still optimized and without any sort of official drivers, I say these numbers are good considering this card will retail at $399 U.s. and get you lot performance on par or better than a card based on a flagship chip from electric current generation.
