Just got this "Spy" shot from NVIDIA 2008 Driver Roadmap, i'm not sure about everythign as i can read what you read, but let me tell you that Big Bang I was the introduction of SLI (so i guess this will be big).
From what i can read/ understand
Display Connectivity
Quality Improvements
Performance Improvements
OpenGL 3.0
Source: CHW.net
introduction of SLI eh? I think I'm missing something
i3 2100, MSI H61M-E33. 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws.
MSI GTX 460 Twin Frozr II. 1TB Caviar Blue.
Corsair HX 620, CM 690, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit.
What i meant is that Big Bang I was SLI and now there is Big Bang II on the roadmap, since SLI pretty much changed the VGA market my guess is that this will be big
Neat.
I'm going to guess some sort of multi gpu mashup.
Hopefully it lives up to the hype this time and isn't another can of whoopass
Line 2 looks like 'Hybrid . . . .'
Line 3 looks like 'Spring Notebook Cycle'
Maybe SLI 2 will give you a 30% bump in performance vs. 25% making spending $300 a little more worth while. That would be nice to see if it did a bit more though.

Big Bang II - Putting two cores on one die with dedicated GPU interconnect. Yaaaaa ... y!
Yawning after their 'whoop ass'.
I think I detect sarcasm in here, but your second sentence is totally throwing me off.Originally Posted by Glow9
E7200 @ 3.4 ; 7870 GHz 2 GB
Intel's atom is a terrible chip.
Under "Spring Notebook Cycle" I think it says GT200+ something
Also, I don't know if just a card would be "Big Bang II" - if it was a multi-GPU card, it would have to be something revolutionary to get that title unless they want to underwhelm us all
GT200+ sth
Big Bang II
- Now/WWW sth
- SLI connectivity sth
- Display connectivity
- Quality improvements
- Performance improvements
- OpenGL 3.0
sth like that anyway..
Oh blah?
Hey, this is more fun that Wheel of Fortune - except I'm going blind now.
Interesting
BiG BanG II is launch of G200 (55nm) graphics card to mainstream (against HD4850/4870), and new flagship ... against HD4870X2 ...
and PhysX for every GeForce with G80/92/200

Thats suppose to be GTX 280...
Intel Core i7 920 4 GHz | 18 GB DDR3 1600 MHz | ASUS Rampage II Gene | GIGABYTE HD7950 3GB WindForce 3X | WD Caviar Black 2TB | Creative Sound Blaster Z | Altec Lansing MX5021 | Corsair HX750 | Lian Li PC-V354

How do you know that? Or just speculate?

It's all good, until you realize the slide is about drivers.I mean, I understand the hardware highlights below...but any talk about software "being ready" scares me. End of September is a far way out yet...
Maybe I should buy more Nvidia stock to add to the shares I picked up at $22. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
3570K ● Asus V Gene ● 8GB Mushkin DDR3-2133 ● EVGA 660 Ti SC ● Seasonic X750 ● 128GB Samsung 830 SSD & External 1TB RAID1
SupremeFX SPDIF -> MHDT Constantine DAC -> Darkvoice 336i Tube Amplifier -> AKG K701
2 months is far away?
When you have guys typing away at code, yeah...it is...because they could be in a mad crunch, and unable to deliver. Let's translate 2 month into man hours...say a nice 35 hour week...x8 weeks...280 hours...that could be a whole lot of great code, or a whole lot of wasted time. And that's just ONE person.
Big Bang II or not, Big Bang I was all bark and no bite for the consumer, and higher profits for nV. Oh, I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself!

if its like big bang1 then hopefully it will go back to 2NV cards to copeat with 1 ati card
but, its most likely the launch of commercial CUDA software
5930k, R5E, samsung 8GBx4 d-die, vega 56, wd gold 8TB, wd 4TB red, 2TB raid1 wd blue 5400
samsung 840 evo 500GB, HP EX 1TB NVME , CM690II, swiftech h220, corsair 750hxi
Damn you nvidia. Stop making me hesitate to make the 4870x2 a home in my rig

If we keep the comparison to "Big Bang I", then this is probably something like dedicated physix GFX or some SLI like what is posible with 790G chipset, where you have "master" GFX and "slave" GFX (Integrated GPU), but makes it possible to run SLI.
Big Bang II might be that this possibility is enabled with stand alone GFX of different kind, so that you no longer _must_ buy an identical GFX to the one you got, but you can just buy the newest generetion GFX, and make it run SLI together with your current (outdated) "top notch" GFX.
Would be nice to live out the old hype: "I buy a SLI MoBo, and a single nVidia GFX, and thus I just upgrate with another GFX when it is no longer enough with this one GFX, and put them in SLI." But not needing to buy an outdated GFX, but just buying another GFX from nVidia, and thus being able to run SLI.
Laptop: i5 3230 @ stock, 2x4GB RAM, 240GB SSD (Kingston SSD now), nVidia GT640M + Intel HD4000 GFX.
That would be nice for us customers, but not likely. They would be killing their own profits, that is not likley with their current financial situation.

No, new graphics card and official WHQL PhysX drivers for every GeForce
