Leaked benchmarks from a Chinese site could hint at Maxwell's opening act performance.
We've read some reports around the web lately about a rumored new Nvidia GPU codenamed Maxwell. The word on the street is that it'll be officially launched as GeForce GTX 750 Ti, but still be on the 28 nm process.
Little is known at this point, but another trickle of unconfirmed information comes from Chinese site Coolaler, comparing the supposed GTX 750 Ti to a GTX 660:

I love nVidia, but I think I will be upgrading to AMD this go around. Would be my first AMD/ATI card in over 10 years!
The GTX 750Ti card is doing more with less. The GTX 660 doesn't blow it away in those benchmarks. In actual gameplay, I would argue the cards would perform very near each other. It is an apples to oranges comparison though. One card has a generation advantage with a power grade disadvantage (750) and the other is the opposite (660). The architecture helps but as with many things in life, brute force can't be discounted.
These numbers would be even further apart if they were testing a non-Ti version of the 750.

That price comes from a Hungarian site. Hungary has a 27% VAT, so a $225 retail price there means it's actually about $175.
If they can pack the 750ti in a slim package for SFF builds, I'll be all over it. AMD has had the "monopoly" for it with the 7750 SFF and the 6670 SFF for way too long.
Cheers!
