So we have...
GeForce 256
GeForce 2, 3, 4
then added some digits (don't know why) to get 5900, 6800, 7800, 8800, 9600

So next time around will be the GeForce 10...are they gonna go back to their old numbering scheme from the 4 and earlier days and just call it 10? Or are they gonna tack some stupid letter to the front and start from the beginning like ATI did (X, then HD)?

While I think they should come up with a new name, they've likely invested hundreds of millions into marketing the Geforce brand name into a household name. Thats a foolish thing to waste.

I'm still partial to the 8800WTF moniker. They should just build on that...

GeForce 10 WTF
GeForce 10 OMGWTF
and for the enthusiasts: GeForce 10 OMGWTFBBQ SLI

of course the, the lower end would be more like:

GeForce 10 LOL
and for the really crappy cards: GeForce 10 PWNED

The Egyptians had the right idea with hieroglyphics .. once we realize it was all advertising, we will be able to read them better :p
