Nvidia has dared to make a drastic move in its naming convention. According to several sources close to the company, the new flagship chip codenamed GT200, D10U-30 and D10U-20 will end up with the Geforce GTX 280 brand for the faster card.
There will be one more branded as Geforce GTX 260 and this would be the one that many believed would be branded as Geforce 9900GT.
The launch is scheduled for the 25th week of the year and it should take place between the 16th and 20th of June. Roy Tailor the Vice President of "The Way It's Meant to Be Played" said that Nvidia's names got a bit too complicated.
"We remember that John Byrne, Vice president of Graphics, said the same thing when ATI lost its XT and PRO suffixes in its names. We believe that Nvidia learned from ATI that this actually did help and therefore they are doing the same; the bigger number means better, at least in their three digit brands, but we are still stuck with the suffixes for the time beeing."
