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.

Three lines sourced from the 178.15 reveal Nvidia's renaming plan and they are:

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"

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.

Although a third renaming is to laugh at, the bottom line is that these new names are indeed better. I hope Nvidia will stick to them and does not go for one more renaming once the 40nm process kicks in.

hmm, sooner or later they're gonna reach 9xx and then switch again

nope, much earlier

i guess the dx11 cards will get a new, at least slightly different naming sheme at latest

So 8800GT becomes 9800gt which becomes gts150? lol

The green giant is still sleeping, nobody gives 2 cents about naming conventions, we want affordable performance.
