Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 to get 768 shader cores and 128-bit memory bus

Within the line of expectation there is going to be a GeForce GTX 1050 released, it should be positioned against the RX 460 from AMD. New specifications have surfaced on the web.

The specs have been derived from a GPU-Z screenshot leaked through benchlife that shows pretty much all you need to know as on the rest we can do the math. The card will get 768 shader processors (similar to the GTX 950) and an expected 128bit-mem bus. Interesting though is that it has 4GB of memory, though I expect the normal models top get 2 GB of it.

The TMU count is a little off in the screen-shots. Typically you take the number of SMs and multiply them with 8 texture units, and that this would be 48 (over the 64 shown in the screenshot). The clock frequency is listed at 1316 MHz with a 1380 MHz boost.

more or less the same as gtx950, with more modern architecture and 4g for 75w...
it might be nice

(as gtx950 already beat rx460 in most case the below 150Euro battle is already win)

Should an equally clocked 950 perform similarly?
*that 4GB VRAM just an icing on the cake, imo

Does this based on a stripped down 1060 still?

How would 950 pricing would fit in all of this? Another price cut(yaayy)?

Would this ripple down further to 750Ti or even below? (double yaay)

I demand answers

Can anyone explain why there are two different shader count 1060s? One is 1280 cores, the other is 1152 cores.

This makes NO sense only marketing bull**** again to trick people:

1280 cores = GTX 1060
1152 cores = GTX 1060
768 cores = GTX 1050

This is the way it should have been:

1280 cores = GTX 1060
1152 cores = GTX 1050
768 cores = GTX 1040

Then again this comes from the geniuses who replaced the old TITAN with a new card called TITAN, so when you see machines advertised with a TITAN card you have NO IDEA which one they are including... more marketing trickery?

fabrication node needs correction. gp107 is at samsung 14nm lpp. That's why the lower clocks
