What should Nvidia call their next generation of GPUs?
- Thread starter WYP
- Start date
I dont like 1080 either.
VR80 maybe ?
They wont drop GTX though, not after making Corsair change their naming!

I like the idea of an X designation but maybe they should start at ten and work their way up so GTX X10, GTX X15, 20, 25 and so on

I like the "X" type naming scheme i.e X70, X80, X90 etc...

Geforce FX muhaha, but done right this time.
I think they should just call them GTX 1070, 1080, 1080Ti... and then go with 1170... after that. Reverting back to 170... would make some sense however I think it's most likely they will be 1700, 1800... etc just like Intel went with for no apparent reason.
But honestly I really can't tell or even figure out why they skipped 870, so whatever they do i'm sure it won't make any sense.

Nvidia used the GTX 800 naming scheme for notebook GPU's so they didn't really skip it they just didn't use it for desktop GPU's.
So 1070 will be mobile pascal and 1170 will be desktop. If they do stop sharing numbers it would be quite logical but it never held them back in the past.

I agree with the majority sentiment, GTX 1080 sounds so ... limiting when the card will more be capable of 1440p or even 4k in some circumstances. It'll be difficult to shake that off.
I think they should do away with the numbering and name them after stars, something like Polaris? No, wait

@Mysterae - Only if the Charlize can SLi with Scarlett. (or maybe she'd be better as an AMD model)
I digress.
They'll stick to the current naming convention unless there's any great reason not to.
People want to easily identify which cards are newer and which cards are better. If you remember the 8800 9800s of yesteryear they got to the top then went GTX2## GTX 4## (where did the 3's go??) So my best guess is 1080/1180/1280 etc.
They keep specific names for their uber cards like the Titan. I also don't really think that anyone buying a 1080 and spending upwards of $700 is going to be easily confused with the specs of a monitor unless they just have too much money to care.
1080 also happens to be the name of a particularly nasty poison farmers use - well here anyways.

300 series was mobile, same as 800 series.

Cool thanks for that I'd been wondering (but not enough to actually google)
