According to rumors posted by Xbitlabs, Nvidia’s next major GPU design, the G80, is to be a 48 pipeline, DX10 part.
Nvidia’s code-named G80 graphics processing unit (GPU) will incorporate 48 pixel shader processors and an unknown number of vertex shader processors, some unofficial sources said. The chip is still expected to support feature-set of DirectX 10 along with Shader Model 4.0, even though it will not take advantage of the unified processors that can compute both pixel and vertex shaders.
