8800GT and 8800 GTS 512mb was released first. Nvidia rebranded it to 9800 GT and 9800 GTX. Now they are rebranding to GT ###. Rebranding old products is an easy way to create more sales because most people don't know that it's actually an old chip with a new name. In 2009, their new naming scheme will be: GTX ### - enthusiast (eg. most expensive, usually $400+) GT ### - performance (eg. $200+, 9800 GTX) GS ### - mainstream (eg. $100 - $200, 9600 GT) G ### - entry (eg. under $100, 9500GT) |

GPUs are a lot like cars now apparently, with a lot of stupid trim levels with obscure letters. |
