NVIDIA to release GeForce GTX 950 SE Graphics Card series
The rumors of a GeForce GTX 950 SE have been heard before, this round it seems legit. In the sub 150 USD bracket Nvidia will be releasing a new product series called GeForce GTX 950 SE.
The GeForce GTX 950 SE is going to replace the GeForce GTX 750 and 750 Ti which both are first gen Maxwell. The GeForce GTX 950 SE might also be spotted as GeForce GTX 950 LE (light edition). For the GM206 based GeForce GTX 950 SE one extra SMM shader cluster is deactivated bringing 5 out of the 8 shader clusters to active use. Each shader cluster holds 128 shader processors, so that's 640 shader processors in total.
GeForce | GTX 980 | GTX 970 | GTX 960 | GTX 950 | GTX 950 SE |
GPU | GM204 | GM204 | GM206 | GM206 | GM206 |
CUDA cores | 2048 | 1664 | 1024 | 768 | 640 |
Texture Units | 128 | 104 | 64 | 48 | 40 |
Raster Devices | 64 | 64 | 32 | 32 | 32 |
Memory Bus | 256-bit | 256-bit | 128-bit | 128-bit | 128-bit |
Amount of memory | 4 GB GDDR5 | 3.5 GB GDDR5 (effective) | 2 / 4 GB GDDR5 | 128-bit | 2 GB GDDR5 |
For texture memory units you are looking to 40 of them tied towards 32 ROPs. The memory-bus is obviously 128-bit wide with these cards holding 2 GB of GDDR5 memory. These cards would get a 70 Watt TDP powered by a 6-pin power connector. The product would be clocked at roughly 1024 MHz on the base core frequency with a boost closer to 1200 MHz to make up for the lower shader processor count. We 'think' the product will see the daylight in March 2016, CeBIT time.

If it overclock as the 950 it is a very good replacement for the 750 line of card.
*edit* and they can rename the 750 in 940 lol

There is already 950 and 950ti, does it really needs another 950 se? They shoud've just reduced the prices.

I thought the 950 ti was speculation?

they better get something going in the 259 price range the 96o is just meh.
instead they should focus on a 960ti type card that's as fast as a 970 for 250ish even if it only has 3.5g(ha ha)they milked out the 970/980 long enough to do this.

I would really be interested in such a low end card for gaming Hearthstone and streaming via Steam's in home streaming. I am not fully aware of what streaming needs tbh, but I'd really like to see a passively cooled version of this (like 750Ti).
