Volta found in drivers?

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]”

Doesn't surprise me, although I expect the 1080ti will be NVidia's answer to any challenge to the top spot AMD come with (Vega)
I expect they are trying to get the next card ready in case Vega does end up being a challenge so they can attempt to comfortably stay top.

Dont these Id things crop up about a year before the card actually comes out?

Probably been "Leaked" to make people think that Volta is nearer to release than it actually is......just as AMD release Ryzen and are not too far off the launch of Vega....similar thing happened just before Sega launched the Dreamcast....Sony leaked some PS2 info....and everyone waited for the PS2....Dreamcast was not the success that Sega needed and the rest is history. Tiz all but a publicity gimmik methinks.....Mindshare SkullDuggery.
