    I personally think 1080m sounds too long and convoluted.. Hopefully its's something shorter...

    They might go back to the thousands... 2800M

    I don't consider it sounding too long. People only say:

    980m = "nine-eighty-m" [instead of "ninehundred-eighty-m"]
    1080m = "ten-eighty-m" [instead of "one-thousand-and-eighty-m"]

    So still very short :)

    I vote for 1080M.

    Can you imagine the first Pascal "Titan" dual-GPU desktop card? Gonna be such a beast. It'll probably perform like Titan X quad-SLI and have like 16GB VRAM (each card) with near perfect scaling. Man, I'm so excited for 2016... :) BRING IT ON!

    But it's the exact same number of syllables as 980M? If you're pronouncing it in English, that is.

    Using Roman numeral logic it should go GT X xxx -> GT C xxx and then model number. Though GTC doesn't really sound right.

    Nvidia won't drop GT and GTX, however I could see them changing the numbering scheme next gen

    GT indicate the lower end models, GTX is more the performance (mid-grade and up) and used to indicate SLI capability or not. That hasn't changed for years, I don't expect it to now. But yeah numbering scheme will definitely change.

    GTX doesn't always mean SLI compatible though. The GTX 750Ti and 860M (maxwell) were SLI incompatible. Unless you used some Korean hardware and driver mod that was proven too unstable to be worth its salt, is what I remember reading somewhere.

    Considering how lazy and careless NVIDIA has been, they'll probably just start the naming scheme over and add a letter.

    GT was never an indication of SLI capability. In the GeForce 6 Series (debut of SLI), 6500 on up supported SLI. In the 7 and 9 series, 7300 and 9300 on up supported SLI.

    And historically, GT wasn't an indication of low-end performance either. It used to be, GTX was used only once every generation, on the flagship single GPU (and its same-gen refresh/die shrink). All the other high-end and mid-range cards below it, which we would now also classify as GTX, used GT/GTO/GTS/GS/GSO. It wasn't until the GeForce 200 Series that we had multiple GTX cards per gen.

    I don't care about the old series, it's been what, 6-7 years since they switched to the new 2xx series? I'm well aware of the history and their copious and confusing nomenclature.

    GTX means high performance in a card, regardless. It's not like you'll have a GTX 940m and a GT 950m. It segregates the higher tier from the lower tier, usually cards that have GDDR5 vs DDR3 and SLI capable for the most part. There were some exceptions of course, but this typically held true.

    At least it's simpler today and GTX still means high performance.

    Forget prefixes and suffixes. It just obfuscates everything, like when you have SE (Sucky Edition) along with GTX, e.g. GTX 460/560 SE. What's foolproof is the 2nd number.

    1-4: low-end
    5-6: mid-range
    7-8: high-end
    9: dual-GPU

    well, now that the desktop pascal cards have been announced, what are you guys' expectations for mobile pascal?

    it seems that mxm 3.0 won't be that big of a problem, considering the high power efficiency of the new desktop card.
    I'm personally hoping for something close to the desktop 1080, which should be possible, though gddr5x might not work on mxm 3.0...

    We should be able to get a 1070, exactly, or with slower VRAM.

    Nice thread necro there.

    Is it really necessary to discuss the same things we are all discussing in the other Pascal thread? Hit the link incase you missed it.
