"Nvidia has dared to make a drastic move in its naming convention. According to several sources close to the company, the new flagship chip codenamed GT200 and D10U-30 and D10U-20 will end up with Geforce GTX 280 brand for the faster card.
There will be one more branded as Geforce GTX 260 and this would be the one that many believed will be branded as Geforce 9900GT.
The launch is scheduled for the 25th week of the year and it should take place between the 16th and 20th of June. Roy Tailor the Vice President of "The Way It's Meant to Be Played" said that Nvidias names got a bit too complicated.
We remember that John Byrne, Vice president of Graphics, said the same as ATI lost its XT and PRO suffixes in its names. We believe that Nvidia learned from ATI that this actually did help and therefore they are doing the same; the bigger number means better, at least in their three digit brands, but we are still stuck with the suffixes for the time beeing.

Geforce GTX 280 to launch on June 18th

"We've found out what looks to be the launch date for GT200 cards. We are happy to report that both GT200 cards are single chip cards, something that we've suggested back in January.
The launch should take place on the 18th of June, just in the middle of week 25, and at current schedule that is two days after ATI's RV770 launch.
The name Geforce GTX 280 looks a bit odd, but I am sure that we will get used to it. The only other alternative was to use Geforce 9900 cliché but we believe that GT200 deserves better name. As its been suggested at many occasions GT200 chip will have significantly more Shader units and the most frequent number that we heard was 240. We still work on getting the confirmation of this bold spec.
Nvidia just ran out of numbers and its starting all over again. It's like reseting the odometer, more or less. "
