    "It's possible, or it could be that NVIDIA is suggesting that the upcoming 400-series products will offer double the performance of the 200-series range. We like the sound of that."

    Nope, just NVidia thinking Bigger number = More sales.

    Quite a sad sign that Fermi is a long way off if there's to be another marketing run on renaming existing products as the 300 series in the interim.

    Yes, the word 'productised' does that to people.

    Incidentally, there's a new Disney film out about a princess who gets frogised.

    Re: News - NVIDIA's Fermi to be productised as the GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480

    I am guessing that someone at nVidia (maybe even that someone who's forums name begins with "R") fed back a lot of reactions to the 3xx cards that got released around xmas time......Perhaps they then thought it prudent to jump on a series

    Re: News - NVIDIA's Fermi to be productised as the GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480

    I'd had enough of idle speculation some weeks ago.... this latest news simply reinforces the recent decision I made.... to move to ATi and get a 5870!!

    Sounds like Nvidia wants to make sure no one thinks Fermi is simply a rebranded product. I don't mind the use of 4xxx for the new GPUs; they only need to perform as advertised.

    Yawn. Still implementing the PhysX lockout? Thought so. Sticking with ATI for my next card then.
