GeForce 9-series fate revealed through latest driver
written by Ciro - October 3, 2008 10:30

Evidence supporting Nvidia's new G100 naming scheme has emerged, thanks to a file in the ForceWare 178.15 beta drivers. Boy, things are about to get very confusing...

NVIDIA_G92.DEV_0615.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTS 150"
NVIDIA_G94.DEV_0626.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GT 130"
NVIDIA_G96.DEV_0646.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GT 120"

Remember that report regarding Nvidia's plan of renaming its current graphics cards? Well it's true and, courtesy of the recently-released GeForce 178.15 driver we now know what to expect from the Green Graphics Goblin.

These suggest that the G92-powered cards (GeForce 9800 models) will be renamed to GeForce GTS 1x0, while the G94 and G96 cards (GeForce 9600, 9500s) will be known as GeForce GT 1x0. This new naming scheme, which should help with making Nvidia's card offer easier to grasp, is expected to be introduced in about two weeks.
