NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880 Specs Unveiled

Tech Powerup provided a few details on the next-gen GeForce GTX 880 graphics cards which may be released as soon as July 2014. The DirectX 12 ready cards will based on supposed GM204 chip- Microsoft recently revealed DirectX 12 at a Game Developer's Conference.

It may also have only a single 6-pin power connector instead of the usual dual connectors on higher class GPUs.

Here are some specs:

• 20 nm GM204 silicon
• 7.9 billion transistors
• 3,200 CUDA cores
• 200 TMUs
• 32 ROPs
• 5.7 TFLOP/s single-precision floating-point throughput
• 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface
• 4 GB standard memory amount
• 238 GB/s memory bandwidth
• Clock speeds of 900 MHz core, 950 MHz GPU Boost, 7.40 GHz memory
• 230W board power

NVIDIA usually releases high-end graphics cards first, trickling down to lower-end graphics cards later in the year.

Sounds interesting... Though; unless there are major changes, I think I will stick with my GTX 760!

Wow! only 1 6 pin connector? That seems counter-intuitive to me. More cores, I would assume would require more power?!? Regardless, I'm looking forward to the new tech. I was hoping to see bandwith bumped up to 512 like the R9 cards.
