Comments on ‘Nvidia exec admits GPU line-up is numerically 'challenged'’

Keeps getting more confusing 

Alert

It keeps getting more confusing as time goes on.

It used to be a GTS was faster than a GT.

The 8 series changed that. the GTS came first and the GT was an improvement on the GTS w/ a die shrink & price cut.

They would do well to look at BMW for an idea of how to name their chips.

330i

330is

s is the sports model, so they could add a letter at the end if the card is factory overclocked. Otherwise, if they just stuck to numbers; it would make the cards easier. Everyone knows 9 is higher than 5. Not everyone knows the difference between GTS & GTX

My 7800 isn't a 7800 anyway (they wouldn't allow the name on an agp card) 

Alert

NVidia needs to give up on numbers I think they have run out anyway!

Time for the next Gen.

And remebmer sequential! or explanatory! not jibber jabber!

That would be a good example, if BMWs weren't already poorly named.

BMW 335i = 3 litre turbo

BMW 325i = 3 litre n/a

Now if BMW can't be expected to number their products according to the amount of oomph you can squeeze out of them, should nvidia have to? Admittedly Nvidia's naming is a helluva lot more vague, and the resultant differences between products not always as obvious as in a beamer.

Paris, because she'd just buy the pretty one with the drop-top.

Which is the best Linux for laptops?

I have been starting to venture into the Linux/Unix world, currently using the Ubuntu 8.04 on my ThinkPad X60. But is there a better distro for mobiles?

I've given up buying DVDs, though I haven't stopped watching them. Quite the reverse - I'm watching more movies and TV series than ever before. Before you suggest it, I'm not downloading anything either...
