Some surprising information has been found in NVIDIA’s latest GeForce drivers in regards to their upcoming Pascal and Volta GPUs. As we know, NVIDIA keeps on adding preliminary support for their new graphics cards in GeForce drivers and the recently launched GeForce 358.66 driver has exposed some new information about the next generation NVIDIA GPUs.

>>Before anyone gets too excited by the idea of grabbing a new Pascal card soon, if you keep reading the article you'll find this:

"Now the added support is still in preliminary phase and we shouldn’t get excited all yet. In February 2014, we saw a similar leak through GeForce drivers which not only leaked the CUDA compute capabilities of the then upcoming Maxwell cards but also revealed their codenames. A few days after the leak, NVIDIA launched their first Maxwell GM107 based cards and 8 months later introduced the high-end, GM204 powered GeForce 900 series cards".
