Nvidia\'s GeForce 6 and 10
System Builders Summit, Monte Carlo: Nvidia\'s president and CEO has delivered a tantalising glimpse of the kind of performance he expects future generations of Geforce boards to give.
Addressing a group of European System builders, Jen-Hsun Huang\'s made a presentation which included slides suggesting the GeForce 6 will be out in 2003 and built using 100 million transistors and running at 500MHz. The board will shift between 5 and 10million polygons per frame.
Looking beyond, his spiel suggested that by 2006 there could be a GeForce 10 boasting 300 million transistors and running at 750MHz. Again this would render between five and 10 million polygons per frame.
Huang was on stage at the IFE/Systems Builders Summit in Monte Carlo. He didn\'t come out directly and say the GeForce 6 and 10 were on any specific roadmap but coyly put question marks against the board names and the years he suggested they might appear. The future casting seemed to be based on extrapolating the performance of the NV1 back in 1994 and how it handled Sega\'s Virtua Fighter, and then chuck in a bit of Moore\'s law.
Huang got quite hung up on what Nvidia boards, and the 3D graphics they generate, will mean to the world. He believe\'s the company\'s technology is riding a youth cult wave but is also part of something far more culturally significant. Being the subject of fevered roadmap speculation and hardcore gaming reviews pleased him greatly. "We\'re nearly the heroes of every 18 year old," he said. "3D graphics - it\'s cool," said his Powerpoint slide.
But later in his address he offered up quite lofty ambitions for his company\'s products. "3D graphics is going to be one of the most important art forms in the 21st century," he said. "The Geforce 3 provides an infinite palette for artists."
He then went beyond this. "In 10 years time we\'re going to transform your computer into a lifeform." It\'s possible he meant this literally, but he was probably looking towards more and more realistic Avatars - those computer generated folk who wish you a \'nice day\' when you turn on your PC.
But before then Nvidia is going to "show you some exciting, shocking and inappropriate things in 3D graphics." Ooh er missus.

That might be their new slogan:
"The world\'s leading 3D accelerator - so fast you can cook your eggs on it!"

I wish they would fix PC bottlenecks first though :D
I remember nVidia from their first 2 products. LOL,
funny stuff. My how quickly they have made their products kick-A$$.

Personally I look forward to their nForce chipset... should be quite fast.

Okay, what the hell is the Nforce chipset?/
damn, i want Geforce10:)
can some one explain that chipset to me??

Hey Toxical ! Go check out the Nvidia website now.
They have made a wholesome solution to the pc
bottlenecks in the form of their own PC architecture.
They call it NForce, containg their IGP and MCP technology. Basically I believe they\'ve created their
own specialized PC. They worked together with AMD on this.
So I think Nvidia will kick ass bigtime for some time now.

Thanks for the info, I read it, :D
I think it sounds good, hope it\'s not another lets make a quick $buck$ scheme.
I looked at the GeForce2 and GeForce3 specs, hmm,
how come they don\'t present the Polygon pushing power of the GeForce3?

The Nvidia Geforce 10....So powerful it comes with its own liquid nitrogen cooling tower! Just hook it up to the NVidia GeForce 10 and your runnin\' great:D

You\'re not far off. I remember peeps mentioning that with the PS3 heating problem too.
A quotation from Indiana Jones comes to mind:
"You\'re meddling with powers you can\'t possibly comprehend"

I remember some pics on Tom\'s hardware a few months
ago. Some guy made a water cooling installation for his
pc. It looked really bulky and kind of lotsa work put in.
But he only gained 300 mhz. He went from 800 to 1100.
Bwah... not worth all that trouble and money.
It looked funny though :nut:
