Here are the chip names for Nvidia's 2009 lineup.

Since I can't access VR-Zone, I plundered this story from TechPowerUp! instead. Looks like the 55nm GT200b parts will be holding us over until the newer 40nm chips begin arriving in Q2. For those of you that just have to know which letters and numbers Nvidia has decided to use in the names of their new chips, I give you this table:

So, now I'm curious; why can't you access VR-Zone?

I'm still running a 8800GT, we'll see what these new ones look like. I'll probably just go for a GTX 260 (55nm) or a GTX 280 once they get marked down.

I know its been said before, but the naming scheme is just not smart. Currently, the higher the number, the better the performance. It looks as though in the next round of cards the lower the number, the better the performance. I would assume many average consumers not having a clue which is better. Are these just code names and not the actual market names?

Try reading my short news post filled with easy to understand words again. Try sounding out the words if you still don't understand.

KMPregner - I thought so too at first , then I realised , that those are CHIP names , ie G80 , G92 , etc. . Took me a while for my peanut of a brain to realise that , but I'm glad it did .

KMPrenger - These are just codenames, so it won't make any difference to the end user.

Seriously, my two 8800GTs run everything I need in 1920x1200 on high settings. I see little point in spending excessive money on new hardware until there's software I can't run satisfactorily on my current setup. Its a shame that games aren't keeping up with the hardware, but thems the breaks.

I have to agree Kryptonite84, my 8800GT's have served me well. Which is why I've put the money I was going to spend on a new rig back into the "For-When-Gas-Is-Four-Dollars-A-Gallon-Again" account. Oh and I bought new skis. :p

I'm curious to see what GT212 will bring and how far prices on GT200 and GT200b will fall afterward.
