Well, GK110 is technically not a new generation but it's in the wild in tesla cards, or maybe it is and GK100 was planned to be this generation flagship. But this is all irrelevant because as it turns out NV does not need to release high-end cards for the consumer market, because people pay for mid-range cards 500$ in droves. I can pay 500$+ for a flagship NV card, but I want 500mm2 die, more memory bandwidth then the previous generation and performance to match. Suddenly NV releases puny cut-down chip and performance per watt is all that matters, where are those GTX 480 supporters? NV marketing is top-notch, people change their priorities as NV dictates them.
