Nvidia to Rename GeForce Models at CeBIT

[JonnyDough]

[citation][nom]Fadamor[/nom]Seems like they're trying to bring their older models in-line with the newer numbering scheme:GTS 240 was 8800 GTGTS 250 was 9800 GTX+GTS 260GTS 280GTS 290GTS 295[/citation]

So why the hell don't they start over at ONE? A few jumps and we'll have 8800's again.

And then they can try and sell the old 8800's as the new 8800's....again!

Brilliant Marketing!!!! :lol:

What's so annoying is the way each product and subproduct results
in such enormous overlap between one generation of card and the
next, eg. a top-end GF7 (not the best) will be faster than a low-
end GF8 (not the worst). Combined with pricing that rarely makes
any sense, it makes comparing cards, and especially comparing
upgrade options all the more difficult. The only way around this
is to wait until enough time has passed such that an upgrade is
guaranteed to give a major speed increase, eg. in my case moving
from an X1950Pro to an 8800GT.
