News Rumour: Nvidia launching GeForce GTS 250 in March

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2009/02/18/nvidia-geforce-gts-250-in-march/1

Nvidia reportedly has plans to rebadge the GeForce 9800 GTX+ as the GeForce GTS 250.

 

Simple answer if your not sure whats going on; buy a ATI card

 

A fine example of "tricking the consumer" the Nvidia way:
8800GT > 9800GT > GTS240 > for same price = more $$$ from old stuff!

We know how this works, but a 'normal' consumer asking in a computer store for a videocard upgrade for his old 800GT, store employee recomend the new GTS240....

It will happen!

 

Even ignoring the confusion, this seems like a bad thing to me, I would much prefer a 9800GTX+ than a GTX250, it just sounds so much better.

 

My cards are now over a year old, yet remain (if the rumours turn out to be true) current gen
I'm certainly getting my moneys worth from my purchase.

 

If you're buying computer hardware at a brick-and-mortar store AND are listening to what the generally moronic employees are telling you, you're going to get overcharged anyway.

Oh my god, computer hardware doesn't change drastically between generations! Especially in a current market climate that demands new releases every few months, when hardware can't improve anywhere near that quickly. Calm down, take a deep breath, and either buy a new card or keep what you have. Just be happy there are still enthusiast products available.

 

that sounds about right nVidia laying down another false product and calling it new ~_~

 

Well, it looks like my SLI rig of 8800 GTS 512 are 9800 GTXs, nice.

 

So.... what will function in SLI... my 8800gt pair up with a "same GPU" just renamed GTS 240?

 

Really, I would like some kind of answer on how Nvidia is going to handle SLI for these dx10 cards.
