I think it's more that one is mostly ignored, the other overhyped. A bit like the whole 560 thing, it flared up then vanished. There is a undercurrent running through here that everything Nvidia must be declared evil and shouted from the rooftops. I'm not saying it's right about calling it 1030 but as long as it has DDR4 in the name the onus is on the purchaser to inform themselves on their purchase.
I'd love there to be clear naming but with so many variants of any GPU on the market it's an impossible ask. They also can't saturate too much, having 1010 through 1090, RAM size, Core config plus Ti variants would overwhelm even the savvy consumer.
GTFO with that nonsense. People were calling out AMD for the cut down 560, and have called them out for similar in the past. In fact, this is one of the few things that people on here actually agree on, calling altered versions of products the same name, trying to dupe uninformed consumers.
How is it impossible? Seriously? They can literally tack on one letter or change one number and it'd be very clear. Except they're still saturating the market with the same amount, they're just trying to get away with calling it something else. And it actually muddies things up further as review sites often will have to waste parts of articles explaining the differences.
WTF, your whole argument is absurd. You want them do to all of that, just not call it that and you're somehow arguing that makes it better, that by just not openly calling it that, it makes it more clear and less confusing. Its going to "overwhelm savvy consumers" the same, and they're banking on uninformed consumers not knowing the difference.
