Although Nvidia has been slated for its GPU rebranding more than once, we've been informed by our sources that the company is now working on an entirely new range of graphics cards which are very different to the products currently in the market.

From what we've been told, the new cards are going to look very different and for those that were around a few years ago, this is meant to be something of a blast from the past. Much in the way that Intel went back to its Pentium III roots to create the Core 2 series of processors, Nvidia has taken a long hard look at what it did in the past.

What this means is that we should be seeing much simpler PCB designs from Nvidia in the future with far less components on the graphics cards. Expect the three and four phase power regulation to be a memory of the past, as Nvidia is going for a simple single phase power regulation design.

Not only will this save manufacturing costs as the bill of materials will be lower, but it should hopefully make for easier cards to cool with fever hot parts and simpler cooler designs. We weren't told if this will apply to Nvidia's entire range of cards, or if it will be limtied to only certain cards, such as entry level models.
