I think I saw the inf from a 60 series driver posted some place a while
back. This is the GF6 series drivers that will ship with the card
(right now it's like 60.72 or such, probably 62 or 64 by retail).
If I recall correctly, it was actually listed as 6xxx in the .inf.
Considering past naming schemes, they've always left space open for
several cards. Let's see, 5800U and 5600 left room for the 5200's and
now the the SE/LE revisions(?). And the 5900/XT was later accompanied
by the 5700/U. So it looks like "even, then odd".
So... 6800 / 6800U
Followed by a 6200 cheapo in a couple months.
And a 6600 midrange.
Later, the 6900 core revision.
It's little sister, the 6700 (but w/ GDDR5!!
And a Geforce Go 6000.
This seems to leave room for another 6 months before the NV50 rumors
begin to fly. Gotta love that product cycle!
