A post made on Twitter today by NVIDIAGeForce has given away the names of the new graphics cards soon to be released by Nvidia based on the GF100 chip. Apparently the naming scheme is going to skip a whole number and go from the GTX 200 series to the GTX 400 series, with the first two cards being named the GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470.
Is Nvidia trying to give a twice as powerful card a twice as grand name? We’ll have to see when the cards are properly released, which should be soon.
