The GeForce Pascal midrange on the market in autumn

Sweclockers contains some interesting information on future generations of video cards NVIDIA GeForce family destined for the mid-market segment. We are talking about products that will adopt GPU given by name in the GP106 code solution shown by NVIDIA officially on the occasion of its GPU Technology Conference as a member of the PX2 Drive module for autonomous driving.

These GPUs, according to the source, will be made available by NVIDIA in the market only during the autumn so do not coincide with the best proposals of the GeForce GTX family range are expected for the 2016 Computex Taipei.

A choice of this kind is not surprising, because in the past the US company chose to different presentation times for its next-generation GPU depending on market positioning. Initially they propose the GPU top of the line, then move to the mainstream solutions up to the entry level.

The GP106 chip will be used in cards designed to take the place of the models GeForce GTX 960 and GeForce GTX 950, solutions that continue to reap success in the market thanks to the combination of speed performance and cost of acquisition. Do not have at the moment technical details on GP106 GPU but in view of the innovations introduced with the Pascal architecture you can assume the presence of cards that do not require additional power connector and thus capable of generating a total consumption very low overall.
