Nvidia Corp. and its partners will start to sell their next-generation performance-mainstream graphics solutions GeForce GTX 960 about a month from now for around $200, according to a report from a Japanese web-site. While the date of the launch now seems to be more or less clear, specifications of the forthcoming products are still not known.
Sales of of Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 960 will begin on the 22nd of January, 2015, according to a report from Hermitage Akihabara web-site, which usually receives launch dates from sources in Japanese retail industry. Based on earlier reports, Nvidia intended to start selling its GeForce GTX 960 graphics solution in late January, therefore, the new leak confirms that plan.
According to the report, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 graphics card will carry recommended price tag of around ¥25000 in Japan, which means that in the U.S. the board will likely cost $199 – $229. Prices in Europe and the United Kingdom are unknown, but expect something like €179 – €199 in Eurozone and £149 – £189 in the U.K., respectively.
Earlier this month it was reported that Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 graphics cards will be based on the company’s new code-named GM206 graphics processing units. Exact specifications of the chip and the card are unclear, but it is logical to expect around 1280 stream processors, 256-bit memory bus as well as 4GB of GDDR5 memory.
Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 960 will be based on the second-generation Maxwell architecture and will replace GeForce GTX 760-series graphics cards from the market over time.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

KitGuru Says: A Maxwell-based graphics card with 1280 stream processors and for $199 should offer a very nice price/performance ratio out-of-the-box. Given excellent overclocking potential of the GM204, it is possible to expect something similar from the GM206 too. Therefore, the GeForce GTX 960 could become extremely popular among gamers in budget.
If it’s that cheap and performs well I’ll certainly be getting one. I’ve still got a GTX460!
Definitely. Still got a 560 Ti here.
im sure ill be to slow the day it comes out and they would all sell out before i can get one but i think ill make sure i got the money for one when it comes out and wait like a few more weeks see if they offer anything with it that makes it even better for the price lol cuz im poor and need good deals 😛 if i have the money that is this time of the year always eats money so fast :/
GTX 650 here. Wanted to change but nope, parents.
Same, was thinking 970 cause of price compared to 980, but this one is great news to my wallet!
I’m just here planning a gtx 750 ti build. lets go gtx 950 ti hehe
Ok… where is the 980Ti or the Titan II? Come on, Nvidia, don’t you wanna help the 4K market?
I think I’ll replace my GTX 760. if that’s the true price.
Marketing, if they bring those out before the R9 300 series flagship releases, its suicide
You cant sli 750 ti’s.
Still rocking the ol xfx 285 here. I think she’s getting ready for an upgrade. Though I’ll probably have to work overtime to just afford the upgrade. It should’ve came before the Christmas holiday.
I will replace my radeon HD 4850 with a GTX 960
Where did he say he would?
No. The amount of people willing to drop a ridiculous amount of money on a new video card is insignificant compared to the people who want a good mid to high-mid range solution for an affordable price, either for a new build or to upgrade an existing build. Plus, it’s AMD’s move now. AMD will drop a new high end card and take the thrown for the quarter, then Nvidia will come back and trump that. That’s basically been the high end video card market for the past few years haha.
mine arrived this morning, to replace my 660ti (which i wouuld happily have sli’d had they not been withdrawn from sale last autumn) – however, this will be a noticeable step up . yet to benchmark – or install for that matter!!
