It looks like the first signs of Nvidia’s upcoming Volta architecture are starting to appear as recently the team behind AIDA64 spotted references to Nvidia’s next generation flagship GPU in a new driver. It seems that the AIDA64 team were digging around Nvidia’s latest driver looking for traces of the GTX 1080Ti and while they came up empty on that front, they did come across Volta.
 
 
Over on Facebook, AIDA64 posted the following: “First sign of the new nVIDIA flagship GPU, codenamed Volta has appeared on the horizon and its PCI device ID is 1D81 = Graphics Device [GV100]”

    Very exciting news, i think i will have to disregard all gtx1080ti news for this baby. Why would anyone drop big loot for last gen when next gen is almost here? Its going to be another year of people chosin to smoke on big green rather than chewin big red.

    and yes it was over 1 year ago GV100 was in the driver
     
    In a newer nVidia driver (hidden in a dll file belonging to CUDA), the code names for upcoming nVidia graphics chips of the Pascal and Volta generation are found.

    NVIDIA has mentioned that much about their next generation video card. However, if NVIDIA is like most companies alpha and beta samples are usually in testing for months before actual launch or announcements. It is also difficult to say what type of memory they will use. If they use the same type of memory that AMD is going to use then maybe they are also hoping for prices to drop as demand increases.
