8800 range to GT200 - 2007-2009

Chinese companies are still selling them badged as a 2GB GTX780 LMAO


People keep bringing up the NVidia 8800 saying how much it was rebranded, please remember that a die shrunk card is not a rebrand. I rebrand is where you use the exact same chip.

You have mentioned this up a few times when the subject of the 8800 re-brands has come up, the review sites at the time considered shrinking the die and changing the name to be re-branding the card, as did/do most people.

Yeah but it's cool when Nvidia do it, re-branding is fine yo. Apparently the semantics over the naming is making people lose their minds. It's just to complicated for some people.

Fury X (Flagship)
Fury Pro (Second card down)
390X (Mid - High end)



Posting that above to help people, as a lot here seem to be worried about that people buying a $389 / £250 card from best buy or PC world accidentally thinking it's the AMD: 980 Ti / Titan X equivalent.
 
Lets rebrand everything, all the time. Everywhere.

It certainly wouldn't be cool if Nvidia did what AMD has. Which they haven't with 28nm.

But who on earth can be happy having a series of rebrands, which itself consisted of rebrands?

But the 390X is going to be £350+. It's not going to be "mid-high end" priced. It's going to be high-end priced.

The Fury/X is going to be lolTitan pricing.

Lisa Su says AMD is not going to be a budget brand. So she took their budget cards, re-badged and slapped a premium price on them :D

Re-brands are horrid but we accept them, sometimes. Re-branding a 290X to a 390X and actually making it more expensive? Bye, AMD, nice knowing you (although you've been **** for a while now!).

Pretty much, even worse if they completely remove all stock of the 290X. Nvidia would become the "budget" option so to speak.

What? Nvidia have re-branded and put a card to the mid - high tier before. Just like AMD is doing. Is the naming confusing you?

I wander if people would be so accepting of a GTX 970 type situation had AMD done that.. I think probably... No no they wouldn't.

AMD take their previous flagship 290X 4GB. Double the VRAM as standard and drop the card down to mid - high end in their next stack. They introduce the worlds first HBM card as a flagship and decide to launch it at the first ever PC event at E3 which they have co organised. Yeah how shockingly awful of them..

Just terrible..
 
9000+ lol.

Funny stuff reading this thread. So many people getting all emotional about a graphics card :o:p:D

I never said Nvidia didn't rebrand. :confused:. The naming isn't confusing me. I think it's stupid. But that's it. Should have just lowered a tier, instead of creating a new tier.
However, the extent of the rebranding is far worse with AMD this 28nm.
The 2XX has rebrands from the 7XXX, which are now being rebranded into the 3XX. The entire range of the 3XX bar 2 cards are rebrands. This is worse than what Nvidia has done as far as 28nm goes. :confused:

Is it pretend AMD are the best company ever time or something? AMD are a crap company, Nvidia are a crap company.

They haven't dropped it down a tier, price wise. They've made a new tier above it. That's why the 390/X moniker makes sense, because they will price it like (or worse than) a 290/X.

The Fury is going to be hellish expensive. Certainly much more than the 290/X on release.

You know all the launch prices before they have launched. That's cool.

Just to put it out there, the current 'rumours' are $389 Dollars is £250 Pounds. You're expecting a £100 price hike at launch. Well I mean that could happen, but that's not AMD's fault.
 
Not sure if this has been posted , sorry if it has , it's the update from the bloke that was shifting the 390x and thought this was the high end card.
, again sorry if it's been posted , 390x vs 970

I don't buy that at all, it'll be commercial suicide.
I'm expecting launch day 290X pricing. If it's not, well then I'm probably not buying a new card.

Firstly, 389$ is at least £311. Basic rule of thumb, multiply by 0.8.

Second, Best Buy are selling for 450$. That's £360.

Then add on UK price gouging in the initial few weeks/months of release.

These are 390X price, not the Fury.

I'll wait till launch for solid UK pricing etc.

Only two days to go !
