News floating around the web are indicating that Nvidia may be releasing it's new graphics architecture, and corresponding high-end chip, somewhere around March 2008. This is something that could very well turn out to be true, since the release of the G80 chip was launched more than a year ago. The G9x chips are just tweaked G8x chips, with no major changes done to the original G80 architecture; just like what the G70 was to the NV40.
The G100 should be something totally new and will probably bring a huge amount of performance to the table. At least it should be faster that the dual G92 card and the HD3870X2.
Support for shader model 4.1 is in, but anything beyond that is still unclear.
Nvidia's new mainstream, or $150 card, the G96, is also expected around the same timeframe.
