Several websites reported that Nvidia plans to push the
renaming of Geforce graphics cards. The OEM versions of the Geforce 9500 GT and 9600 GSO have already been relabeled and the European consumer electronics trader Media Markt already offered PCs with them.
Now it seems like Nvidia will also rename the retail cards. According to reports , the Geforce 9800 GT and the Geforce 9800 GTX+ will be reintroduced with new names at the Cebit. Besides the labeling and the BIOS there won't be further changes.
