NVIDIA Convinced by Board Partners Not to Rename 9800 GT to GTS 240
Following the news we covered just last month of NVIDIA's plans to rename the 9800 GT to GTS 240, despite the fact the 9800 GT was little more than a renamed 8800 GT, it seems the GPU board partners have managed to convince NVIDIA not to follow through with this name change. There had been much controversy over NVIDIA's renaming scheme even here on our forums, but in a confidential email seen by DailyTech, NVIDIA has cancelled plans to rename the chip yet again. Instead there will now be three versions of the 9800 GT, one of which includes the feature updates due to be present in the GTS 240. There will be the green edition, which we had already heard news of some time ago, which has no need for external power connectors, there will be the standard version, and then an OC version, which although details are not yet confirmed, one would imagine the card would be clocked at the GTS 240 expected speeds of 675/1688/2200 MHz.

Stupid. :shadedshu
Lets take a look at routers... DIR-655 V1.0, DIR-655 V1.1, DIR-655 V1.2... To someone who cares they will know.
If you want, advertise the bonuses of the newer version.
...at least temporarily.
If Joe Sixpack buys a rebadged card and found out, would he blame Nvidia or would he blame usually the biggest logo on the box which is usually the Manufactures name. Being Joe Sixpack I would blame the company which manufactured the card, probably shop for a different card next time, and if he's pissed off enough he might even see RED.:toast:
nvidia time pas in Gt1xx model card:banghead::mad:
There should be a government body that fires staff members from companies that are found to be wasting money on stupid shit. Maybe even relocate them to a 3rd world country. PhD that!
