Was it "always" back then? Or a trend triggered by nVidia and adopted by AMD, or the other way around?Originally Posted by SKYMTL

ATi was doing it before AMD was even in the picture. I definitely remember them renaming the 9600 to the x600. It's not uncommon for either company, if they can re-use a design, they won't waste any time in doing so.
9600 was AGP only, x600 PCIE,
but I remember buying a Radeon 9100 (renamed 8500LE) some 10 years ago
ATI has been rebranding with Radeon since the beginning. The original Radeon SDR was rebranded the 7200 and the Radeon VE became the Radeon 7000. The Radeon 7000 itself was also a 7200 without a T&L unit. 8500 series was a new design but they rebranded it for 9000, 9100, and 9200.
The Radeon SDR became the Radeon 7200, and the Radeon VE became the Radeon 7000.

No its an early release / broken NDA.Was it "always" back then? Or a trend triggered by nVidia and adopted by AMD, or the other way around?

Official release is May 10th, 2 pm BST in the UK. I can't wait to get mine, probably going to get an EVGA reference or longer PCB custom version based on the prices (I'm not paying for anything with a blue PCB, Gigabyte, Inno and Galaxy / KFA2 GTX 670s have all been pictured with blue PCBs, so I buy EVGA reference or EVGA / MSI custom design).
