GeForce FX canned? Nvidia refuses to comment

NVIDIA UK HAS REFUSED to comment on a posting on a 3D bulletin board claiming that the GeForce FX is for the chop.

According to the rumour, posted at x-3DFX, Nvidia is canning the GeForce FX and has told its foundry, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (TSMC), to stop when 100,000 NV30 are produced.

The same posting claimed that Nvidia will now concentrate on NV31, NV34, and NV35 and want to ensure that it doesn't get caught short by any cunning plans ATI may or may not have.

We reported last month that Nvidia forecast sales of 100,000 GeForce FX by the end of May - market research company iSuppli said yesterday the card is a specialist product in any case.

But Nvidia UK said this morning it did not comment on speculation posted on bulletin boards.

Here's the speculation posted on this particular bulletin board. µ
