Have you been living in seclusion? The NV35 is already out! It's the
GeForce FX 5900.

Here is the current GeForce FX family of chips:
NV30 = GeForce FX 5800
NV31 = GeForce FX 5600
NV34 = GeForce FX 5200
NV35 = GeForce FX 5900

If you're waiting for what the next chip from nVidia is going to be,
it is the NV40 and won't be until very late this year at the earliest.
There have also been rumors of a NV36 floating around, but nothing is
confirmed.


NV30 = GeForce FX 5800
NV31 = GeForce FX 5600
NV34 = GeForce FX 5200

Actually, all of these use the NV30 chip.


*BZZT* Wrong! The NV31 and NV34 are entirely different pieces of
silicon than the NV30. While they all do share a few common
functional elements (hence the reason why they are all the GeForce FX
family), the chips are drasitcally different.

The *ONLY* NV30 chip is the one used in the 5800/5800 Ultra.
