<i>If you tried any of the latest 30.30 or 30.82 Nvidia beta drivers you would have noticed perhaps that they support some new chipsets yet to be announced by Nvidia.
These are NV18 and NV28 and professional versions of them, ie NV18GL and NV28GL. While we still know little about them, it already emerged that they are the AGP 8x versions of Geforce4 MX and Geforce4 Ti cards. Click on Read More for more info.
The rumours suggest that they will be launched within the next month or so and now we know to expect 10 different cards based on these new chipsets:
2 cards based on NV28 - A recent story here suggests that Ti4400 is being phased out, so perhaps that's why we will only see 2 cards based on NV28 as opposed to 3 when NV25 cards were announced. This means a Ti4200 and Ti4600 with AGP 8x support will be introduced while Ti4400 with AGP 8x support will not. We don't know however what the real names of the new cards will be.
2 cards based on professional version of NV28, i.e. NV28GL. Here we will see a high end Quadro4 card - something after Quadro4 900, with AGP 8x support of course and either a card on middle or low end of the Quadro4 XGL range … (NV25GL had 3 different Quadro4 cards here, NV28 will only have 2).
3 cards based on NV18 chipset - This could well mean a GeForce4 MX 420/440/460 with AGP 8x support will be introduced here but it’s yet unknown if that's going to be the case and what names the cards will have officially.
3 cards based on professional version of NV18, i.e. NV18GL. Here we can expect a high end and low/mid end Quadro4 cards with AGP 8x support based on NV18 chipset. It’s unclear if any of these will be Quadro4 NVS cards or if all will be Quadro4 XGL cards.
At this time there is no information available on the individual specs of these new cards and launch dates are unconfirmed. However, all these cards are coming. </i
