300 series branding reserved for DirectX 10.1
One Fermi secret was recently unveiled. The official name is going to be Geforce GTX 480 and GTX 470. Naturally the bigger number goes for the faster and more expensive card while the runner up card gets the Geforce 470 name.
It turns out the 300 series names were reserved for Nvidia’s “new” DirectX 10.1 chips and this is why 380 and 370 names were not planned for these cards. These names will remain in the notebook market as well as entry level desktop where Nvidia sells most of its DirectX 10.1 chips.
Nvidia partners should be able to showcase the upcoming Fermi-based Geforce GTX 480 graphics card at Cebit, but we doubt that this will be the time for the official card launch.
Nvidia's DirectX 11 architecture, codenamed Fermi, comes some six months after the first Radeon HD 5000-series card hit the market and in the past six months, ATI has managed to launch an entire DirectX 11 generation including the HD 57x0 series, the HD 56x0 series and most recently the HD 54x0 series.
Nvidia has delayed its Fermi generation for unknown reasons, and the company does not want to discuss it at this time. However, the company does plan to finally launch its long-anticipated, single-GPU, next-generation cards in March. Despite Nvidia’s promise to have healthy availability at launch, we are quite sure that the products will be in short supply from its launch.
Cant wait thats soooo soon!

idk if id upgrade to 10.1 when 11 is about to come out; if its a money thing just hold off another month lol
Directx11 is more graphically inclined while putting less stress on your computer ( doesn't make sense to you either huh? lol )

You must of misread what I put or I worded it awkwardly.
Thats what I meant, with DX 11 cards about to come out and gaming companies designing their games with dx11, theres not point in purchasing a 2nd tier card.

hah geez i must have been occupied with something at the time ^_^ unless you reworded it :P
but yea from the specs i keep seeing there gonna be AWESOME for single gpu cards.... while the doubles are gonna be even better :P
my only though is would SLI be better than a double gpu card? quad sli with 4 cards compared to SLI with 2 2 gpu cards?
