Yeah, seems like marketing bunk. Especially considering how their new shiny Geforce 5xx line is only a 10-15% improvement over the last gen. Show me the number

- Tuna-Fish 16y ago5xx was conjured out of thin air like 9xxx, 1xx and 3xx. 580 and 570 use the gf100b chip -- just a minor revision of the chip that powered 480 and 470. I like NV products, but for some very weird reason their marketing likes to boost the family number for no reason every 6 months.
- jra101 16y ago580 and 570 are actually based on the GF110 chip. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4008/nvidias-geforce-gtx-580 http://www.anandtech.com/show/4008/nvidias-geforce-gtx-580
- Tuna-Fish 16y agoGF110 is a marketing name. The chip was called gf100b in the fab and in the chip rom. http://www.pcgameshardware.com/?menu=browser&article_id=802354&image_id=1467215 http://www.pcgameshardware.com/?menu=browser&article_id=...
