Nvidia kommer för sina nya NV60-baserade grafikkort att använda produktnamnen GTX 260 / 280 framför att inkludera dem i den nuvarande 9000-serien, som det tidigare ryktats om. Många ser nog tacksamt på detta, då det blir rörigt när en ny generation grafikkort har snarlika namn med föregående generation.
“Nvidia has decided to depart from its current product naming strategy and introduce a completely new sequence number for its upcoming GT200 chips.
The new GPUs, also knows as NV60 graphics processors will be called the GTX 260 / 280, according to an article published by Fudzilla. It was previously expected that Nvidia would continue its 1000-series naming tradition, creating a 9900-series brand. The companys current G92 processors are sold in GeForce 8800GT, 8800GTS512, 9800GTX and 9800GX2 cards.
The GTX add-on now moves to the front of the sequence number and we assume that future mainstream parts will receive a GTS or GT name, while low-end entry-level parts will end-up with the SE name.”
