Guru3D.com Image If you read up on the previous post you might already have noticed it. Microsoft released an new WHQL driver and for whatever reason it hold all kind of entries on the new GT300 based DX11 GPUs from NVIDIA.

Here's what you'll spot in the driver .inf files within the new 300 series:

NVIDIA_DEV.0A29.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M"
NVIDIA_DEV.0A2B.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M "
NVIDIA_DEV.0A66.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce 310"
NVIDIA_DEV.0A6E.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce 305M"
NVIDIA_DEV.0A75.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce 310M"
NVIDIA_DEV.0CAF.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M"
NVIDIA_DEV.0CB0.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTS 350M"
NVIDIA_DEV.0CB1.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M"

M are of course the mobile parts, and the GeForce 310 a low-end part. But yeah, looks like NVIDIA's DX11 technology is closer than we all think it is.

In other related news, a GeForce GT240 is pending a release as well, this card has 96 stream processors and was previously slated to be launched as the GeForce GT230. NVIDIA has decided to name the GPU as GeForce GT240 instead of GT230, and the chip is based on a GT215.
