GeForce 8800GS bliver til 9600GSO

Da GeForce 8800GS blev lanceret, blev det ikke specielt vel modtaget på forbrugermarkedet. Det vil Nvidia nu rode bod på, ved at flytte det til 9xxx -serien. Det nye navn bliver 9600GSO.



"Today, The card's performance and price are similar to 9600GT's. (Related: G80 VS G92, med to high end GFX cards round-up). So NV is going to change the name of GeForce 8800GS to 9600GSO, in order to Classify the card into the GeForce 9 series. From it's current price and the new name we can sure the card will market target will be a little lower than 9600GT.

Also, G92 will be reflashed with the 55nm processing in July. We can expect some new GeForce 9 cards will be launched with the new 55nm G92, which can lower the core temperature and rise the core clock."
