Name change: GeForce 8800GS to become GeForce 9600GSO
When GeForce 8800GS got launched, it is an unpopular product. NV’s Dev team tried hard to keep its performance when shrinking it from a 8800GT, but because the lack of propaganda (yes i mean the leak slide, screen shot and spy pic), mainstream market can not accept this product in a flash.
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.

I saw 100 After rebate on buy.com on the XFX 8800gs, just wish they can fit on a 300w PSU

I’ve never seen a company so determined to confuse their customers with the naming in their product line. Its bad enough they have a zillion versions of the same card, now they have to take an older model number and bump it up to a new number? Its just pathetic.

No way BobLeBob.
In the end its still an 8800gs, which doesn’t support tri-SLI.
WTF? nVidia trying to confuse us again…

Looks like a decent card, comparable GT performance for low end price! I was impressed with the GS 7 line as well. Looks like it will be repeated for the 9 this time around….
