Great success for Nvidia
Renaming the G92b-based
Geforce 9800GTX+ to Geforce GTS 250 was one of the best things Nvidia did
in 2009. The rename worked and everyone wants to buy Geforce GTS 250 as this
name definitely sounds better than the old 9800GTX+.
The hard reality is that consumers are too naive to notice
the tricks of Nvidia's mighty marketing machine, but as we said, Nvidia doesn’t care
much as the strategy works.
In this case the rebranding worked perfectly and only a
small portion of people who buy the cards will know that GTS 250 and Geforce
9800GTX+ are the same thing based on a 55nm G92b chip and that the only difference
is the bios.
Starting at €95 this card is a great deal, we won’t argue
with that.
