Nvidia May Be Reviving its Old ''Ti'' Marker

I dont understand how a 994A is gonna make graphics better. 😛

heh you guys know what GT stands for? Grand Touring. I don't see any of these video cards being driven around the country side Ti makes more sense if you think about it. Didn't Ti stand for Titanium? There's no titanium in it. I guess maybe it doesn't make more sense oh well.... 😛

GTX 560 so soon eh? Seems like Nvidia is on a roll, pumping out cards left right and centre.

I just hope it means that the 460s and 470s will be dropping in price, because I'd be perfectly happy with one of those right now!

If this is true and its somehow a monicure to the past then... It seems even nVidia has accepted that their current crop of GPUs just are not as good as AMDs.

I'm looking forward to upgrade to a new mainstream Nvidia or AMD card, the fan on my HD4650 has just about failed and I've been holding off upgrading till these new cards get released.

It's very clear from the specs that this GPU is a desktop part

[citation][nom]Belardo[/nom]Ah... the nVidia marketing team, doing their NORMAL Work to come up with more crap to show they are "working"... "GeForce GTX 560 Ti" is stupid. There are NO "GeForce GTX 560" so it might as well not have the "TI". With the GF3~GF4 cards, the TI cards had a feature and design process.The whole thing is stupid... and why I don't buy GeForce cards anymore.[/citation]
hmmm... that's a good reason. I think you may just be better off not buying discrete graphics cards. That way you won't have to deal with all the stress and confusion involved in those deceptive naming schemes. It's good however that you forgave AMD for the HD6000 series by somehow convincing yourself that it was a fluke influenced by the "COMPLETE MORONS" at Nvidia.

Didn't know anyone had such a difficult time with this, but I believe the GTX, GTS, and GT markers are meant to provide a simple broad understanding of graphics performance relative to a generation. GTX representing high-end to upper mid-range cards, GTS for mid range cards, and GT for lower end cards. And I'm not sure what you're talking about with the "pro" and "mx" suffixes, but Nvidia hasn't used either of those for a very long time. In fact ATI was the last to use "pro" in their naming schemes, but I'm guessing that just didn't seem as hostile to you as when Nvidia used it, right?

It's funny though how some of the more flamboyant ATI fanboy's go 'searching' for things to complain about, no matter how trivial. Putting "TI" in the name? That's gotta be a plot to insult my intelligence, one of those Nvidia quick money grabbing schemes... lol. You were probably one of the people relentlessly complaining about Nvidia's g92 rebranding, as though ATI never has or never will do the same.

Just another example of putting ATI up on a pedestal.
