G70 Codename for Next Generation NVIDIA?

WE FINALLY managed to get the next generation codename for Nvidia’s high end card. Actually, the guys at station-drivers.com managed to get a 75.10 driver and read what’s inside the driver inf file. These guys whre lucky enough to see the new codename, and it’s currently called G70. We don’t have a clue why Nvidia dropped its NV number nomenclature but this might actually mean that Nvidia is turning the page and that it will present something out of this world.

The G70 won’t be based on any existing NV40 marchitecture and it won’t be anything like NV47.5, we mean not just an upgrade to existing marchitecture.

We still don’t know when it will surface but we do know it will be SLI capable. So whatever one G70 scores two G70 will score close to twice as much, theoretically. Nvidia wants to make a lot of noise about SLI as it’s alone in this market, at least for now. Later on ATI will jump in with its own version of SLI as well, that will be the second big battle of the current graphic wars.

G70 is the next generation Nvidia
Does G stand for whizz?
