It looks like the first signs of Nvidia's upcoming Volta architecture are starting to appear as recently the team behind AIDA64 spotted references to Nvidia's next generation flagship GPU in a new driver. It seems that the AIDA64 team were digging around Nvidia's latest driver looking for traces of the GTX 1080Ti and while they came up empty on that front, they did come across Volta.
Over on Facebook, AIDA64 posted the following: “First sign of the new nVIDIA flagship GPU, codenamed Volta has appeared on the horizon and its PCI device ID is 1D81 = Graphics Device [GV100]”
As we can see from the ‘GV100' name, we can assume this is going to be ‘big Volta', similarly to how GP100/GP102 are considered ‘big Pascal'. Unfortunately, as Videocardz points out, the fact that Volta is appearing in drivers doesn't point to much on its own, outside of the fact that Nvidia has engineering samples up and running. With that in mind, there is still a chance we will see a GTX 1080Ti before the next architecture jump, even if it is months later than expected.
Speaking of the GTX 1080Ti, Nvidia is holding an event later this month, so perhaps we will get more news around that time.
KitGuru Says: This isn't the juciest bit of information but iat least we know which device ID to look out for when tracking down traces of the GV100 GPU in the future. Are any of you holding off on upgrading until new GPU architecture arrives?
Whether Volta comes early where is about which market has a greater threat from potential competition.
As a gaming card, Vega 10 is going more after GP104 (that supposed Doom at 4K demo just 10% faster than an overclocked GTX1080), except the Radeon Instinct Mi25 is going after GP100 (25 half-precision TFLOPS versus 24 half-precision TFLOPS). On the professional side, it’s just too close and makes all the sense in the world than nVidia would push Volta out there earlier than original roadmaps implied. AMD is only now competing with the Pascal flagship, so nVidia creates parity to justify customers taking their route.

Volta rumored to be faster than 1080 SLI.
Bring it on.
im not a person who likes to get hype behind rumors, but this year is hopefully going to be pretty exciting with amd finally releasing some competitive products for the first time in a couple years, should stimulate some growth with any luck
