so when did gt300 tape out? ;)

As far as I'm concerned, the GT300 is 'NV60', not 'NV70'.

Starting with the G70 / GeForce 7800 (NV47) Nvidia changed its naming scheme and things got confusing. Nvidia changed the way they name their chips at least one more time after that, making it even more confusing.

The G80 / GeForce 8800 in 2006 was 'NV50', no question of that.

Everything that came after G80, but before GT200, (i.e. G92 / GF 9800) was just a revision of 'NV50', not an 'NV55'.

GT200 / GTX280 = 'NV55' or 'NV57' (not 'NV60'). Remember GT200 was still a DX10 GPU even though it got a huge increase in compute resources beyond G80.

When the NV20 / GeForce 3 was upgraded into GeForce 4 Ti with a 2nd Vertex Shader, doubling its geometry performance per clock, the codename wasn't NV30 was it? No it was NV25. The NV30 was a new architecture beyond NV20 & NV25. So in that regard it seems to me it would be silly to think of GT200 as 'NV60'.


So IMO, the GT300 is 'NV60', the first totally new Nvidia GPU architecture (DX11) since the G80 in 2006.

We have a lot of GT300-related information, including pictures. We'll release information when we are certain that our sources are safe.

Our policy is not to release information if it is coming from a single source. We hope that you'll enjoy in our site in months to come. ;)

If what you guys have been saying about the GT300 turn out to be true, I will have a big amount of respect for you guys. You guys seem to be very tight in the industry, hopefully your fanbase starts becoming larger, because you guys deserve it.
