News of NVidia’s GTS450 is all over the net. While not a powerhouse of computational horsepower (only 192 CUDA Cores), it’s got a faster clock speed and lower power consumption, making it a perfect candidate for overclocking.
The company’s third Fermi desktop iteration is described as “a little more than half of the GF104 implementation,” which in real terms means 192 CUDA cores versus the GTX 460’s 336, reduced memory bandwidth with a 128-bit-wide bus and a lower number of ROPs at 16. These disadvantages are ameliorated by 783MHz graphics and 1566MHz processor clock speeds as well as a much more forgiving power profile — the new GTS 450 cards will require just the one 6-pin power connector for auxiliary juice.
