Here comes GeForce GTS 450

Nvidia has not officially announced the GeForce GTS 450, but some traders were quick to advertise the new graphics card, while revealing its technical characteristics. The new GeForce expected to fight with the Radeon HD 5770, at least until AMD can release its new cards with the name of Radeon HD 6000.



GeForce GTS 450 operating frequency is slightly lower than had been leaked in July. The kernel is GF 106 clocked at 783MHz, the shaders at 1566MHz and the GDDR5 memory to 3608MHz. The 450 has 192 CUDA cores, 128-bit memory interface, 1GB memory cooler occupying two slots, dual-DVI outputs and mini HDMI, and while requiring a 6-pin connector for power.



The value lies in the region of 150 euros, about as costly as some fast versions of the Radeon HD 5770. We may well see it at a lower price when the official announcements come from Nvidia.
