Nvidia Rebrand Leaked - Low End 9 Series to Become G1x0

It's been quite a while since Nvidia rebranded its cards and we were beginning to think it has dropped the habit altogether. However, several leaked ads, courtesy of German retailer MediaMarkt all but confirm the new naming scheme.

This is old news ?

This is a Dutch news article, from september 26, 2008, mentioning the same thing: http://tweakers.net/nieuws/558...l?highlight=naamgeving

This is something different, those are not G92b cards...

Also, the names on the slides are G100 (this one's strange...), GT120 and GT130... Not the ones you mention. Though I find it strange they use the 1xx number, since it's the same tech as G92b. Why didn't they call the 9800GTX+ GTS150? Pure marketing 😛 So that it doesn't sound that mucn inferior to the GTX2xx. Also, I think they want to put things in the past, things like general consenses of HD4850 being better than the 9800GTX+. Now the HD4850 will fight against the GTS250! Sounds new 😛

This article confirms it, however, with added source pictures. Those previous articles were unsupported claims.
