AMD Readies Radeon R9 280 ‘Tahiti Pro’ and Radeon R7 265 ‘Pitcairn Pro’ – Dual-Chip Hawaii May Launch in June :
AMD Radeon R9 280 :
We’ve been talking about this card for months now. Actually we were surprised this card was not released with the 280X. The R9 280 would basically be a HD 7950 rebrand, just as 280X is a rebranded HD 7970.
The reason for the delay could be related to the short supply of AMD GPUs, including Tahiti core. Let’s not forget that HD 7950 was the most popular card among cryptocurrency miners.
The Radeon R9 280 would feature Tahiti PRO (2) GPU with 1792 Stream Cores. Card is probably clocked at the same speed as original 7950, but this has to be confirmed. R9 280 would be available with 2GB of GDDR5 memory. Card is using 384-bit interface. It is believed that R9 280 would cost around $249.
AMD Radeon R9 265 :UPDATE: R7 265 to arrive tomorrow)
Additionally there’s a report of a new Pitcairn based card. We are looking at HD 7850 refresh with 1024 Stream Cores. That would mean 2GB of GDDR5 memory and 256b interface. Nothing else was said except the possible price point of $150.
AMD Radeon R9 290X2 :
Dual Hawaii graphics card is expected to launch around Computex in June. This is going to be a very interesting month for GPU enthusiasts. We already know that NVIDIA has some surprises, and it looks like AMD is also preparing its announcement of the first dual-GPU card from R200 series.
MSI GeForce GTX 750 TwinFrozr GAMING :
he TwinFrozr model of GTX 750 from MSI has a base clock of 1085 MHz and a boost clock of 1163 MHz. It packs 1GB GDDR5 memory across 128-bit interface. The memory is clocked at 5010 MHz. The GTX 750 features 768 CUDA cores.
MSI GeForce GTX 750 :
MSI is also preparing a model with one fan. Card is clocked at 1059/1137 MHz. Just like the TF card, it packs 1GB GDDR5 memory across 128-bit interface. The memory is 10 MHz slower though.
MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti :
Moving on to 750 TIs, we also have two cards. It looks like the design is pretty much the same, so only the GPU model have changed. This card runs at 1059/1137 MHz with a memory clock of 5400 MHz. Compared to 750 the 750 TI has more CUDA cores — 960 — and more memory — 2GB.
MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti TwinFrozr GAMING :
The last but not least we have TwinFrozr model of GTX 750 TI, which has the same clocks as 750 TF, only this one has faster memory — 5400 MHz. It also has additional 1GB (making 2GB in total).
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti and GTX 750 pictured and detailed :
Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti OC (GV-N75TOC-2GI) has a WindForce 2X cooling mechanism known from previous GeForce GTX 650 Ti/660 products. The cooling solution is made of one heat pipe, aluminum fin array and two fans. The cooler itself is around 3 cm wider than the PCB itself.
As you can see it does not have any SLI connectors, just like it’s predecessor (650 Ti). The GTX 750 Ti from Gigabyte runs at 1059 MHz, which is a base clock. The boost clock has not yet been revealed. What we do know for sure however, is that the card is equipped with 2GB GDDR5 memory across 128-bit interface. Thus the effective speed is 5400 MHz and the bandwidth is 86,4 GB/s.
The 750 Ti will pack 960 CUDA cores and it does require one 6-pin power connector to be plugged in (although it should run without it).
Gigabyte GTX 750 OC (GV-N750OC-1GI) is a 768 CUDA cores Maxwell graphics card. Some GTX 750 models are not equipped with power connectors, but since we are looking at factory-overclocked model, it does have one 6-pin power plug. The difference between GM107-400 and GM107-300 lays in the number of CUDAs and TMUs. The difference between GTX 750 Ti and GTX 750 is also in memory size. The GTX 750 has only 1GB by default. The rest is pretty much the same, although the clocks are slightly different — all GTX 750s have 400 MHz slower memory (5 GHz).
