NVIDIA rebranding the Geforce 9 rebrands to Gxx100

G100, GT120 and GT130 are the new ones
We’ve learned that Nvidia might once more rebrand its entry level cards. It is getting kind of ridiculous as this has already happened once when Nvidia renamed the 8800-series to 9800 and now they want to do a similar thing at the low-end.

The card that we know as Geforce 9300 based on the G96 will be branded as G100. This reminds me of a Matrox product called G100, a card that came out some 10 years ago and could accelerate Direct 3D, but not OpenGL.

The second rebrand is Geforce 9500 that will be known as Geforce GT120, while the current Geforce 9600 should end up with the Geforce GT130 brand.

So GTX will mean that you got a high end/performance card, GT is reserved for mainstream while G means you got an entry level card. This rebrand should happen sometime in January.

NVIDIA rebranding
Geforce 9300 = G100
Geforce 9500 = GT120
Geforce 9600 = GT130

So my guess for others are
GeForce 9800GT = GT150
GeForce 9800GTX = GTX180
and so on ...

Why do they have to keep doing this again & again & again to confuse everyone ?

^LOL no performance gains

But I guess they r preparing them fr the GTX270 and GTX290

And DUAL GT200 55nm CARD in JAN09

Actually it will be a reformed rebranded chip. Most of the Nvidia cards still runs on 65nm chip & Nvidia is relaunching its whole line up in 55nm.
