A lot of people in other hardware forums are disappointed with the 9800 GTX. In my opinion, they should have called it the 8850 GTX or something similar. And this card doesn't even deserve the GTX brand if you asked me.

I really hope that GT200 will make up for this disaster.



Well said. I think they are following Intels tick tock strategy. One time will be a brand new architecture and the other release will be an architecture refresh. Thats what this seems to be like. I agree it does not deserve the 9800 gtx name.

The problem with their current naming is that the GT200 is the new architecture...so it should be a new name. If the article linked above is to be believed, the GT200 will be released as 9900 series cards.

I won't say that the current 9800GTX shouldn't be a "GTX"...it just shouldn't be a 9800. It should've been an 8900GTX. I say 8900 because the G92 release of the 8800GT/GTX should've been 8850's. And the 9600GT should've been an 8700GT.
