Nvidia Product Naming
Nvidia are in the process of changing their current product naming conventions. Over the past years Nvidia used a straight forward model naming structure such as the 6200 and 6600 obviously the latter having the highest specification. Nvidia can also mislead consumers because some versions of their 8800 series cards are faster than their 9600 series cards. To the majority of consumers this could be confusing.
Nvidia started to complicate model names when they created sub-model cards such as the 8800 GT, GS and GTS? What do all these mean? To the enthusiast this isn’t quite a problem because enthusiast will be familiar with their naming conventions from previous generation cards. The problem is obviously new consumers to the Graphics market. Nvidia may feel that because of the complicated model naming, new customers could easily buy products from alternative vendors.
