1. This plus the PhysX compatibility announcement are great news for Nvidia. They need as much as they can to grab attention away from Intel. I really hope ATI's RV770 will be competitive as well though. Both companies need to be strong against Intel's coming threat.

Are you kidding me?

This article discusses a possible next top of the line graphics processor, GT200.

Intel is going to offer Larrabee, which is aimed at competing for the low-end market share.

Please provide us links showing how Intel will be able to compete with Nvidia or ATI in the high-end graphics market.

2. I have an idea for their new trademark. Since GeForce is a moniker for g-force; what about Inertia series. You know, to stay withing the physics theme. Or wait, what about Acceleration, Vectors, or even Momentum!

(I am trying to say this in a slight sarcastic tone)

Anyway, I would like to see their GT200 be something worth buying. Something NEW. Not like the current 9 series, which is pretty much a rebranding of the 8 series with tweaks. (I know, it is very generalized).

I am also interested in the growing friction between Intel and nVidia. Can't wait to see some blood from that bout.

Some generation was talked about as DreamForce before release.. not sure if it was the Gf6 or 7, but might be a good name to use :)

What do you want to see, no new Intel boards with SLI ??
No new nvidia boards for Nehalem ??

that would suck. i want sli + nehalem.

3. I dont know why you would want that anyways, considering how superior Intel chipsets are...

4. Considering the renaming of nVidias graphics drivers from ForceWare to GeForce, I'd presume they plan on keeping the name GeForce for some more time. Unless, of course, they wish to make a very clear difference between old and new chipsets, with the new one having their own drivers. But then again, if they do this, they really need features that differs their new GPUs from old ones, like a true dedicated on-board physics processing unit.

My 2 cents

5. Dang that sounds insane, a billion transistors? I hope that it's not just two chips with 500 million transistors each but we'll see. The real question is, can it play Crysis on max detail?

O_O

Who cares about Crysis it sucked....................max detail or not.........

6. My predictions tell me Nvidia will probably be a lazy ass butcher and just amke a 8800GTX with 192spu's instead of a real next gen architecture.
If so, AMD might have a chance with their R770XT, but I doubt that, since it'll probably be just a 3870 with 480spu's.

But that's just me, and I could be wrong.../drinks beer

7. boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring. G200 will be in fact 4x8800GT's in Sli or whatever...no new stuff you'll se....

8. Probably, the way nVidia has been lately has sucked. The 9 series is a joke.

All previous number bumps have been for something worthwhile. Usually they make it xx50 to denote it being newer arch...

Sigh.

9. These are dark ages and crysis must be pwned
