The G92 Series will be officially renamed next month. According to our source, NVIDIA will announce the “new” GeForce GTS 250 graphics card on the first Tuesday of March when Cebit 2009 opens. The following is what NV says to its partners.

“GeForce GTS 250 carries over the same specs and features of 9800 GTX+, and hence the same GPU, memory, board, PCB, and thermal solution. AIC’s should be confident in purchasing GPU’s, PCB’s, and other materials, since the only change is a new VBIOS to implement the new branding”

In fact, GeForce GTS 250 graphics card is exactly the same as 9800GTX+. What NVIDIA has done is just to update the BIOS and change the packing. Besides, 8800GT (9800GT) will also be renamed as GTS 240, in a quieter way though. It seems NVIDIA is going to focus on promoting its Low Power Series.

GeForce 9800GTX+ was announced on July 11th last year, to compete with Radeon HD4850. GeForce 9800GTX+ grew out of GeForce 9800GTX, with improvement in processing and frequency.

The name of GeForce 9800GTX+ has rooted deeply in people’s mind, so the rename might make users confused, though it’s necessary if NVIDIA decides to carry out its new naming rule.

Damn when it comes to technology and stuff I need to get my head from out of the sand, it looks pretty cool and my graphics card looks like crap.

good, just another way of making quick money by selling low-end graphic chips to noobs

releasing the new GTX300 would make same profit

I cant wait for integrated video processing from intel, integrated right into the CPU, no need for Nvidia or ATI to tease us with a newer and better 500$ video card every month.

FAIL!!!

Yep, the technology is still young, the new Nehalem processor is capable of integrated GPU, but its only first generation, if they follow up and refine it we could see really high end GPU output integrated right in with the processor, AMD's fusion is also GPU integrated
