While it’s likely that Nvidia’s new line of DirectX 11 compatible cards will be released sometime in Q4 this year, what we’re not sure of is the name.
After working their way through a fairly standard naming system from GeForce 2 to 9 over the last ten years or so, Nvidia had to change convention when naming the latest range or else add an extra digit. Therefore, the far meatier sounding GTX 2 range was born. It seems likely than Nvidia will follow suit and release this as the GTX300 range, with the GTX360 and 380. News of GTX375 and 395 models and X2 versions are still anybody’s guess at the moment.
Update: There are rumors from the Computex ‘09 show that Nvidia’s DirectX11 range won’t be ready until the first half of 2010. However, with AMD/ATi demonstrating their own DX11 hardware at Computex this week, it’s unlikely that Nvidia will allow ATi such a large head-start.

Well, I’m just excited with its performance. They say that ATIs new card HD5870, has beaten the GTX295 and I also read on a forum that Nvidia was supposed to release the GTX 300 series but they did not because they do not want to unleash the power of their cards(I’m not so sure if it’s the reason; It seems I have forgotten it already) so they decided to release the GTX 295 instead of the 300s..
I’m just thinking of what it could have and how powerful it is. Think about it. They have already reached the 300s and I guess by 2020, there will be more, much more ultra-realistic games and their card would still beat it..(Of Course)And so that’s what I can say about the future; I do hope so.
