Nvidia has informed their partners about the change in naming for the upcoming GT200 series today. Previously, the marketing name for GT200 is GeForce 9900 series when launched but now it has been changed to GeForce GTX 200 series. GeForce 9900 GTX is now GeForce GTX 280 and GeForce 9900 GTS is now GeForce GTX 260. Nvidia has decided to launch them slightly earlier to coincide with RV770 launch which is around third week of June. However, Nvidia plans to show the GeForce GTX 280 card behind doors at Computex.

So, the new GT200 will be called GTX 260 and GTX 280, instead of 9900GTS and 9900GTX
 
Well this is different. I wonder if the fanboy enthusiasts will be upset because they don't "sound" quite as powerful anymore? More like a workstation card.
 
that sounds crap...Nvidia you make great cards for ages and all of a sudden give them crap names :eek:
 
why couldnt they have just kept the name simple,they have for so long like the 6 series,7,8 series and now GTX 280 :eek: :mad:
