To date, NVIDIA has introduced only a couple of Maxwell-based desktop GPUs. Back in September, the company launched the powerful and potent GeForce GTX 980 (and its little brother, the GeForce GTX 970), featuring the GM204. The GM204 is currently NVIDIA’s fastest single-GPU, though a larger “big” Maxwell-based chip akin to the GK110 powering cards like the GeForce GTX Titan, will likely be introduced at some point as well. Looking even further back, we first got a glimpse of Maxwell on the diminutive GeForce GTX 750 Ti. That card was based on the GM107 GPU, a smaller Maxwell variant, that targets low-power and mainstream applications. Today, NVIDIA is going after the sweet spot of the discrete GPU market, currently occupied by cards like the GeForce GTX 760 and older GTX 660. On the following pages, we get to show you the new GeForce GTX 960, which features a brand new Maxwell-based GPU dubbed the GM206 that’s falls somewhere in between the GM107 and GM204, but features all of the goodness of both...
