21st anniversary of the Geforce 256

Nvidia has released a teaser called "Ultimate Countdown", and has promised something big for its 21st anniversary of the Geforce 256 release, set on August 31st. In the meantime, more rumors have come up about the upcoming Nvidia RTX Ampere series.

Teaser, which counts down 21 days to August 31st, is also the 21st anniversary of the Geforce 256, a card that changed a lot of things back when it was announced on August 31st, 1999, and launched on October 11th, 1999. Based on TSMC's 220nm CMOS manufacturing process, the NV10 GPU behind the Geforce 256, brought significant improvements, including DDR VRAM (first launched with SDR VRAM), and the card was marketed as the world's first GPU.

The teaser does not show much, but hopefully, we will hear more in the coming days. There is a possibility that Nvidia could announce its Ampere based Quadro cards, as it has done with Turing-based RTX series, or we could see a full-on announcement of the entire lineup, including the consumer-oriented Geforce RTX series.
