NV35 is about to be "officially introduced". DigiTimes reported recently that the venue for the launch of NV35 will be Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) which starts 10 days from now. From personal experience, once Nvidia is about to unveil a new product, their engineers will tend to insert the name of that product into the drivers as they are developed. I think you see now where this is going... Read More for the info.



A recent driver that has appeared on Windows Update has revealed much more then Nvidia would have hoped for. It tells us few things.

Nvidia is working on new nForce drivers all the time, despite their official drivers being very old and unstable when it comes to IDE driver for instance. This is now being fixed no doubt and new drivers should be just around the corner although NV35 might have to be unveiled first.

NV35 will be made available in 2 versions ? ?Ultra? and non-ultra of course.

There will be a professional version of NV35 ? code named NV35GL ? and its name will be Quadro FX 3000.

NV35 non-ultra will be called GeForce FX 5900 and faster model of course - GeForce FX 5900 Ultra

In the next two weeks ? we should all know everything Nvidia wants us to know about these new cards that are coming so it?s not long now?

You might have also noticed that recently 50.xx drivers have leaked out through Compaq. These are unfortunately 64-bit only but it's possible that the 32-bit drivers are still in development. Nvidia tends to introduce a brand new revision approximately once a year and if you remember the Detonator 40 driver was unleashed in late August last year.
