NVIDIA preparing GeForce GTX 950 Ti & GeForce GTX 950...

NVIDIA is preparing to cement its sub-$150 product offering, and compete with AMD's Radeon R7 370, with a new SKU called the GeForce GTX 950 Ti & 950. This chip will succeed the GTX 750 Ti and is expected to be based on the 28 nm "GM206" silicon. The SKU reportedly features an ASIC variant code "GM206-250" (the GTX 960 features "GM206-300.") NVIDIA could create the SKU by either cutting down the CUDA core count (which is 1,024 on the silicon), lowering clock-speeds, or a combination of the two. The chip already features a narrow 128-bit GDDR5 memory interface, compared to the 256-bit memory bus on its competing R7 370.

Moving on, the card is going to have GDDR5 memory which will come in two variants i.e. 2GB and 4GB. Those of you who wish to see the difference between the new card and GTX 960 should know that the primary differences that are expected to be in the areas of clock speed and the CUDA count.


The reference design of the card is expected to look like GTX 960 because when the GeForce GTX 950 comes out it is going to bring you and HDMI port, a DVI connector as well as three DisplayPorts.

AMD reveals FirePro S9170 server GPU with 32GB RAM and OpenCL 2.0 support- The Inquirer

AMD HAS ANNOUNCED several graphics products in the past few months, and doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. The firm has today revealed the latest addition to its professional graphics family, the FirePro S9170 server GPU.
The AMD FirePro S9170 is described as "the world's first and fastest 32GB single-GPU server card". It comes with support for OpenCL 2.0, and is based on the firm's second-generation Graphics Core Next GPU architecture.

AMD Catalyst 15.7 adds CrossFire Support between Radeon R9 390X and 290X | VideoCardz.com

• Windows 10 Technical Preview Support
• Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) – provides image quality enhancement to gamers and Windows desktop users (renders at high solution then down-scales; giving effective Super Sample Anti-Aliasing). Now supported on AMD Radeon R7 260 and above GPUS and desktop A-Series 7400K and above APUS in AMD Catalyst 15.20, with Single and Multi-GPU configurations with more supported VSR modes!
• Frame Rate Target Control (FRTC) – enables fine-tuning your graphics card for more stable and consistent performance in games with real-time frame rate control limiting the maximum frame rate during gameplay — and delivers the benefits of reduced system/GPU power consumption, lower system temps, and lower fan speeds for quieter operation. This allows reduced system/GPU power consumption, reduced system heat and lower fan speeds (less noise).
• Performance Optimizations versus AMD Catalyst Omega
• AMD FreeSync and AMD CrossFire Support – FreeSync eliminates screen tearing without all the usual lag and latency. And now it works in Crossfire mode! You just need a FreeSync capable AMD component and a FreeSync compatible monitor. FreeSync CrossFire support is enabled on applications based on DirectX 10 or newer (DirectX 11 and DirectX 12) and does not currently support AMD Dual Graphics APU configurations.
• AMD CrossFire Profile Enhancements for the following games: Battlefield: Hardline, Evolve, ​Far Cry 4, Lords of the Fallen, Project CARS, Total War: Attila, Alien: Isolation, Assassin’s Creed Unity, ​Civilization: Beyond Earth, FIFA 2015, GRID Autosport, ​Ryse: Son of Rome, Talos Principle, The Crew, ​Grand Theft Auto V, Dying Light, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Nvidia GeForce GTX 950 - the Digital Foundry verdict


Overall the GTX 950 is a strong enough contender, capable of handing in solid performance on any game you care to throw at it as long as you're prepared to make entirely reasonable compromises on quality settings. Think of it as the modern day equivalent to the stalwart GTX 660, but with all the advantages of the second-gen Nvidia Maxwell architecture. It's a solid, if unspectacular buy - just don't be afraid to overclock to get the absolute best out of it.

AMD Quietly Releases Radeon R9 370X, China-Only For Now

 

[REDHOTIRON2004]

I seriously doubt that r9 370x would be able to compete with gtx 950.

Reason being that r9 370x is completely copied from r9 270x. And gtx950 beats r9 270x easily so the same should be true for r9 370x with probably some increased clocks over r9 270x. And add to that the fact that gtx 950 is an awesome overclocker which is able to reach default gtx960 performance in reviews.
