NVIDIA has no intention of being worse than AMD and reveals a bunch of new Fermi circuits in the new GeForce 259.47 drivers. Already known GeForce GTS 450 is one of the models, but also a family of mobile circuits.
The GeForce 400 series will be enforced on several flanks and the new driver dated August 21st recently appeared as WHQL certified at Windows Update.
AMD has started a rumor circus with its Northern Islands family and now that NVIDIA ”accidentally” named fifteen or so graphics circuits in GeForce 259.47 we can’t say it’s a coincidence.
Of the circuits mentioned we find six desktop cards where the GF106 GPU will be found in GeForce GTS 455 and two versions of GTS 450 (possibly different memory configurations). The entry level chip GF108 is expected to fit in the GeForce GT 440, GT 430 and GT 420.
– NVIDIA_DEV.0E23.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GTS 455 ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DC4.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DC5.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DC0.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DE1.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DE2.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GT 420 ”– NVIDIA_DEV.0E30.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470M ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DD1.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DD2.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GT 445M ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DD3.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GT 435M ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DF2.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GT 435M ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DF0.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DF3.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DF1.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M ”
– NVIDIA_DEV.0DEE.01 = ”NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M ”
The exact specifications of NVIDIA’s new models haven’t been confirmed, but GeForce GTS 450 will launch on Septempber 13th and without a reference design we should see great variation among the partner models. The CUDA cores is rumored to be 192 and work with 1GB GDDR5 memory over a 128-bit bus.
The mobile GeForce 400M family will according to our information be announced on September 3rd and looks to contain a number of differen models where the flagship is called GeForce GTS 470M. Performance and power consumption was not revealed.
