Nvidia is working on the Geforce GTX 950 Ti

AMD’s launch of the Radeon 300 series did not offer much real news but consists exclusively of renamed graphics processors. Adjusted clock frequencies and pricing can, however, do a lot to move around in lower price ranges, where the Radeon R7 370 is currently without direct competition from Nvidia.

Videocardz now reports that Nvidia plans to fill the price gap in the Geforce 900 series with a Geforce GTX 950 Ti, which succeeds last year’s GTX 750 Ti. However, this is not a heated variant of the GM107 graphics processor. Instead, Nvidia takes the help of GM206 which houses the GTX 960.

Where GM206 in GTX 960 has the extension -300, the new variant will be called GM206-250, something that suggests that it to some extent receives suspended resources. Since the GM206 already has a relatively narrow 128-bit memory bus, it will probably be left untouched and instead a number of the graphics processor’s 1,024 CUDA cores will probably have to be ironed out.

It is not clear when the Geforce GTX 950 Ti will be launched.
