New nVidia GT200 naming scheme

They use it to distinguish between different models of the same core architecture, but not in the actual card's name.
 
A better convention would be to go:

210GT / 210GTS / 210GTX

so just the bit at the end changes if the card is in the same family but just with higher clocks, then a new series would simply be 220GT / 220GTS / 220GTX and so on, would be much simpler because this converntion is going to have the exact same problem, the GTX 280 will be faster then the GTX 360.

Mmm but it is a bit of a tradition that the second digit is an 8 and at the time of release is the highest end part.

6800 Ultra
7800 GTX
8800 GTX
9800 GX2
280 GTX

I think the FX 5800 was aswell but that is a bit before my time :P

The '8' actually started with the Geforce 4 series.

The 4800 was the highest end Geforce 4 card, the 8 refering to the 8x AGP the card now had.

Before that the naming schemes were all over the place.
