NVIDIA Maxwell Launch Day

This is an interesting turn for Nvidia, usually when they launch new silicon they start with the ultra high-end and then segment the products out over the next several months.  However with Maxwell they are starting at the bottom with the GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti.

Considering that I missed the NDA presentation I can only speculate the reason behind this.  The logical one would be that since the GTX 780 Ti and Titan still dominate the performance sector why not keep the performance cards where they are and work from the bottom with the new architecture.  That gives AMD time to release their new performance cards and gives the new custom GTX 780 Ti cards time to saturate the marketplace.

If I had to guess, Maxwell releases will continue throughout the year with something big coming around Computex.  (likely the day before the show just to jab the editors who actually attend Computex to see the new gear before everyone else.)
