maybe they will just back through and add a zero so we'll eventually get the nvidia 79000/88000 series
They may also go crazy and come up with a grand new naming scheme. Imagine if they just used completely non-informative names like "Viper", "Cheetah", "Tortoise" :)
I think they'll take their time over the rest of the 8 and 9 thousands, then will go out of business/merge/be taken over before they hit 10k :o
Why not just bring out another name of card like PowerForce Graphics. They could start at 1 then. :)
I actually like nVidia's naming scheme much more than ATI's. I find it a lot less confusing.
As far as what they do after the 9 series, I honestly think they'll call it the GeForce 10 series...literally. No 10800s or anything. Maybe more like GeForce 10-6 GT, 10-8 Ultras, etc. Its still simple enough to understand. :)
