    Nvidia backtracking on GTS 240 renaming

    According to DT:

    http://www.dailytech.com/NVIDIA+Back...ticle14551.htm

    NVIDIA will not be going ahead with its controversial GTS 240 rebrand of the GeForce 9800 GT graphics card, according to a confidential email that DailyTech has seen. The GPU firm has been under pressure from frustrated GPU board partners.
    Haha, so renaming wasn't confusing enough for them. Now they're getting into un-renaming.

    Maybe the board partners will finally change Nvidia's mind about the whole renaming crap!

    So after they renamed their whole product line-up for the sake of a more "coherent naming", they will refrain from renaming one last product?

    Now I really think nVidia's marketing guys are stupid.
