Releasing a new GPU way before everyone else does and bragging about how it beats the last generation is basically how Nvidia marketing works anyways (specially with Tegra), so none of this is surprising. ![]() User Reviews, Q&A, and Videos on the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M. I don't see anyone mentioning the fact that Nvidia probably pushed out Maxwell on 28nm for laptops because Iris Pro is giving 750m a hard time (at least ignoring broken Intel GPU drivers) and Nvidia has been fighting off Intel and AMD attacking them from the bottom (and losing ground there) for a long time. These laptops offer a wide range of other envelope pushing features, including the high speed Killer Gaming Networking chip and Audio Boost. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M laptop video card based on Maxwell architecture brought a revolution to the affordable gaming notebook market last year, thanks to a noticeably better balance between performance, power consumption, and pricing than any older mid-range mobile GPU. It's always overly optimistic conjecture while ignoring things that make sense with someone like a***r cheerleading and making fluffy posts that don't really mean much but sound very good (and the occasional decent post when someone gets on him). I don't know why I step into Nvidia threads. ![]() A big 28nm Maxwell? You do realize that that would only postpone 20nm big Maxwell so Nvidia could keep selling 28nm Maxwell to recover R&D costs.ĭesigning a big die, selling it for 6 months, and then giving it a die shrink is not a very good use of R&D money.
