Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 In January 2015
It looks like Nvidia is lifting the release of the pending GeForce GTX 960 over the Christmas season, a little weird as the plan right now seems to be a release in late January 2014. So that thus would be after people have spend their money on Christmas presents.
The time therefor seems a little off, but multiple shipping manifests already have seen the GM206 GPU being shipped around. Now internal industry sources also indicate a GM206 release aka GeForce GTX 960 late January. This means that the product is very likely on display at CES 2015.
Specs wise very little is actually confirmed, but it's indicative that the product will get a GPU similar to the GTX 970, yet with a smaller number of shader processors enabled. If the same GPU is used, then that might be the cause of the delay for the GTX 960, the 970 and 980 are in popular demand and well, Nvidia has better margins with their expensive GPUs being sold, and since stock is low that is the logical step to pursue for the company.
Recently a leaked shipment manifest already indicated 4GB GDDR5 6GHz memory on a 256bit memory bus. Here is the complete entry live in the actual database:
GRAPHIC CARD GTX 960 4GB DDR5,256 BIT,993/6008 HDCP,DUAL DVI,HDMI,DP P PAKC (PCI,PCB POPULATED,VGA CARD,COMP. ACCESS)
So a 993 MHz Core and 6 Gbps memory ? Interesting as why on earth would a shipping manifest show such specific information ? Well, it is interesting none-the less I guess. Pricing is expected to sit somewhere at 249 to 289 USD.
Well, time will tell ...

I'm really interested on the price of this thing, nVidia has finally a chance to make a really good deal in price/performance for people with a lower budget.
If this thing is only 200 bucks and better than the 280x i'm sold.

980 is already full GM204. So unless Nvidia plans to use a gimped GM210 as the Ti, we most likely won't see it.
I'm much more interested in when the GTX 980 ti is coming

At 250$ you can already find custom 290's thats really close or fast as 970. I dont see 960 becoming popular at that price point.

That price is not for every region, for me, Lithuania East Europe, 960 can be a very good product, i believe 15% perf difference with 970. OC and its pretty similar, as always.
970 too expensive and overpowered for 1080p for me. i easily turn off AA, so 960 can be the card to replace my 8800gt finally

Your gonna need a new CPU with that video card. A C2D will bottleneck a 650Ti.

If in keeping with performance of previous x60's (460, 560, 760), the 960 should be a strong performer, maybe close to a 970. And if at $250 and on par or close to a 290, the power draw differences will likely sway most to the 960.

very true fella although not to sure how well your cpu will push the new 960 when it shows its face.

Not with 128bit bus, apparently.
Btw what power savings, people still bitch to save power with uber 850w+ PSUs?

Zauba.com ( fret services ) is becoming the more reliable source ever.
But i ask me if Nvidia, AMD and other dont use it for control or make buzz a bit the internet. Its not completely an hasard if you have so much "information" on a shipping manifest.
For a company who control so much the leaks before the launch, it is a bit strange that they will completely describe the product 1 month before launch when shipping them.
