Our sources confirmed the article at The Inquirer about the announcement date for the new performance graphics processor from NVIDIA. They now say that the Santa Clara, California-based company will unveil its code-named NV31 VPU at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany.

The NV31 is expected to utilise numerous technologies introduced in the GeForce FX VPU and also offer comparable performance to the GeForce4 Ti4600, but with possible improvements in antialiasing and anisotropic filtering speed. Generally speaking, the NV31 code-named products will compete with the RADEON 9500 PRO and 9700-based solutions, so, it is very logically for them to be cheap enough.

NVIDIA has booked a lot of booths at CeBIT, so, expect them to show a really big bunch of products and massive PR actions at the forthcoming show. Keep in mind that analysts expect the computer hardware sales to improve next year, so, all kinds of advertising will be appreciated.

All the information is strictly unofficial, NVIDIA representatives have not commented on the story.
