Nvidia confirms GT-200 with 1 billion transistors

[Sly Fox]

Rather casually one confirmed then however still some data approximately around the next GPU generation, which was to follow the G92-Chips.

So does that mean none of this G94 nonsense they'd talked about doing?

I sure do hope so, I wouldn't mind dropping $500 on a card at this point if it would just blow the past series out of the water.

I remember when buying a brand new card from a brand new line meant that all those games you could barely play on your Ti4600... Suddenly ran at 120 FPS on your fancy new 9800 Pro. I miss those days.

**EDIT**

And you know, this is very off topic, but it's something I thought about last night that's been bugging me.

Why is it that Intel for example is so open about their research and future products, and yet Nvidia lets NOTHING out of the box until the damn cards are about ready to ship out?
I much prefer Intel's way myself... It's really nice to know roughly what's coming, roughly when, and roughly how. It makes planning your purchases much easier, and for me at least
it makes it appear that Intel cares at least somewhat about their customers. Nvidia seems content to just keep their mouthes shut and make our butts wait though. Seems to me
the only reason is they want people to make bad buys and purchase things like their 9800GX2 now, so they don't get a GT200 instead. Not exactly the kind of company attitude
that impresses me.
