We’re filling out today our awesome GTX 900M lineup by introducing the GeForce GTX 960M and 950M, which deliver never-before-seen levels of gaming performance wrapped inside sleek notebook designs. They’re available immediately, so gamers today have more thin and light gaming notebooks to choose from than ever before. In fact, many have now joined the “size does matter” club, and have notebooks less than one-inch thick. You’ll find the new GeForce GTX 960M and 950M from your favorite notebook brand in all shapes and sizes including those from Asus, Alienware, MSI, Razer, HP, Lenovo, Acer, Clevo, Gigabyte and more.
 
And what were these before the re-badge?

The 860m Maxwell and 850m. The 960m is the exact same chip as the 860m Maxwell with an overclock on the core of 68MHz (105MHz on boost) and the same memory clocks. I haven't seen the 950m clocks yet to tall you how much they've improved.
 
They might just be tuned 850/860M units, but this is still arguably more important than the 970/980M releases -- this is what you'll see in laptops that aren't big desktop replacements.

Look out for the GTX 965m if you want maxwell 2.0.
 
Nvidia's shady and inconsistent handling of their notebook chip branding has made me truly not give a shit about any of their notebook-oriented press releases.
