The 750 and 750ti are already powered by the maxwell gpu. The 900series currently is only the high end maxwell series. Maybe nvidia does the same again and the 950 and 950ti will make use of a new architecture which will be present in the next high end series.
If your on 901 use the new rectangle relax tool. It will straighten your uv's in one click. Alternatively select all the vertical edges, set your centre to local and your axis to auto and scale inwards. Use the same settings on the horizontal.

I'm trying to bake the lighting effects into an object on Modo 901, but I can't get the Spec or Reflections to Bake The Process: I create an Vertex Illumination Map, then create a Weight Map, Finally I bake to render output But still no Spec or Reflection Any thoughts on how to achieve this?
