Possible GeForce GTX 870 specs and benchmark leaked
Over at an Asian website specs leaked of what could be the pending GeForce GTX 870. A user from the forum website Coolaler posted aa GPU-Z screenshot detailing what seems to be the GeForce GTX 870. The little brother of the GeForce GTX 880 would be based on Nvidia Maxwell NVIDIA's GM204 GPU. The product would get only 1664 Shader processors.
The GM204 SKU thus would have 1664 CUDA Cores with 32 ROPs. The card will have 4 GB GDDR5 memory running across a 256-Bit memory interface clocked at 1753 MHz (7.00 GHz Effective) which delivers 224.4 GB/s bandwidth effective data-rate. The core clock looks to be 1051 MHz with a 1178 MHz boost clock. The new Maxwell cards will offer quite a bit more performance (well doh), but the interesting rumor here is that the cards would become cheaper opposed to the pricing levels you currently see with the 780 series. That by itself would be good news, as the current lineup is hurting the market with over-inflated price levels.
Anyway have a peek at the screenshot of the GPU-Z shots alongide a 3DMark 2013 extreme score of 4625 and a 3DMark 11 score of P11919. All of this info remains speculation, of course.

Stock 780GTX is still stronger, that 880GTX doesn't look that special either, probably end up between 780GTX and 780Ti.

Hmm I wonder how overclockable these cards will be? Pretty interesting specs though.
It will be interesting to see what AMD comes out with.

Should always take these with a large grain of salt. Maybe they will have much higher clocks, if the 750 Ti is any indication with it's low power and low heat.
Probably won't be a big deal for people that already own $400+ video cards, but if the price is right, and it's looking like it might be, then it should be an awesome buy for a lot of people.

It's impressive for the TDP, but I doubt that's a big deal for the majority of people buying cards like these.

It's obviously not the highend beast most people want but if someone didn't yet upgrade to a 780 series I can definitely see these being an awesome pick up.
That being said, I'm not getting one.
