These sort of discreet meetings between NVIDIA members and some journalists aren’t really a secret these days, as they take place often when some new graphics cards are about launched. Usually the attending journalists are briefed about their specs, they get to review some product sampling and get the planned release schedule. Obviously, all the attendees are bound by non disclosure agreements until the embargo is being lifted.
Clearly, nothing is known about the upcoming card, but we suspect it could be another stopgap model placed between the main leading cards of NVIDIA. Another thing we can guess is that an eventual launch would come rather soon, probably in the coming months until the holiday season, as limited press briefings are being part of a traditional NVIDIA process that precedes an upcoming launch of a graphics cards.
This probably isn't a Pascal card
According to wccftech the new upcoming card is apparently slated to be launching “soon” and was obviously presented to the select members of the press as “secret”. Surprisingly there have been no photo leaks regarding the new card, so we suspect this could be quite an important device since the security around the new product has been kept tightly by NVIDIA.
Keeping in mind that the roadmap for NVIDIA is pretty clear by this time and since Pascal GPU-based cards are slated to arrive most probably around mid to late 2016, it’s very likely the new card will either be an intermediary version for existing top-tier cards, a mini-ITX version of the GTX 980Ti or maybe another full-die version of a leading card for laptops. More details, however, will emerge when the first leaks will hit the press soon.
