Nvidia to Rename GeForce 9800 Series Next Month
Posted by Regeneration on February 5th, 2009, 03:55 AM

The G92 Series will be officially renamed next month. According to our source, NVIDIA will announce the “new” GeForce GTS 250 graphics card on the first Tuesday of March when Cebit 2009 opens. The following is what NV says to its partners: “GeForce GTS 250 carries over the same specs and features of 9800 GTX+, and hence the same GPU, memory, board, PCB, and thermal solution. AIC’s should be confident in purchasing GPU’s, PCB’s, and other materials, since the only change is a new VBIOS to implement the new branding”.

In fact, GeForce GTS 250 graphics card is exactly the same as 9800GTX+. What NVIDIA has done is just to update the BIOS and change the packing. Besides, 8800 GT (9800 GT) will also be renamed as GTS 240, in a quieter way though. It seems NVIDIA is going to focus on promoting its Low Power Series. GeForce 9800 GTX+ was announced on July 11th last year, to compete with Radeon HD 4850. GeForce 9800 GTX+ grew out of GeForce 9800 GTX, with improvement in processing and frequency.

Huh, you bet it would. It is true that renaming parts without bringing any changes to them is a serious mindfuck for the average consumer.
