The point I am making is the exact opposite...that the name has nothing to do with the chipset. G80 and G92 both were 8x00 series with some cards overlapping in the exact same name (8800GTS), G92 cards are also 9x00 series, thus, there is no correlation between chipset and name anymore....and so it is no leap at all that g200 could be a 9900 series card. It's still going to have the highest number out there so it doesn't have anything to do with downplaying and you cannot make any inference about performance.
