Nvidia GTX 960 rumored to come with 256-bit bus

And 4GB of memory

While we already know that Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 is eventually coming, according to the latest rumors, it appears that the GTX 960 will feature a 256-bit memory interface paired up with 4GB of memory.


Although it was previously rumored that the GTX 960 might be based on a cut-down version of the GM204 Maxwell GPU and a narrower memory interface, the recent leak from Zauba.com, which monitors imports and exports from India, shows a sample shipping manifest of the GTX 960, suggest that the GTX 960 will feature a 256-bit memory interface paired up with no less than 4GB of memory.

Spotted by both Kitguru.net and Techpowerup.com, the leaked shipping manifest also reveals that the GTX 960 sample is clocked at 933MHz while 4GB of memory works at 6.0GHz.

That same leaked shipping manifest unfortunately does not confirm if the GTX 960 is indeed based on the GM204 GPU or the new GM206 GPU. If it is based on the GM204 GPU, Nvidia might enable 11 streaming multiprocessors on the GTX 960, leaving it with 1408 CUDA cores, 64 ROPs and 88 TMUs.

Nvidia is expected to launch the new GTX 960 sometime in the first quarter of the next year and it should be priced somewhere around US $249.
