    I propose a new naming scheme:

    Name: Viseon... oh come on.

    Number: (represents generation) abbreviated G1

    Status: (place in the food chain) first letter represents segment, second letter represents place in that segment. First letters: L,M,X (low, medium, Xtreme!!!)(note higher letter = better). Second letters: R,S,T. (higher letter = better).


    Sample card lineup:

    AMD Viseon G1.0 XT
    AMD Viseon G1.0 XS
    AMD Viseon G1.0 XR
    ...
    AMD Viseon G1.0 MT
    etc...
    ...
    AMD Viseon G1.0 LT
    etc...


    Refreshes denoted with decimal:
    AMD Viseon G1.1 XT

    Generational leaps get a new number:
    AMD Viseon G2.0 XT

    Hurray for a short, consistent, logical naming system.

    That's very good naming scheme. However, it's way too logical, good and simple to be used by AMD (or nVidia). :smile:

    Yup, not confusing enough for the less knowlegable customers. Otherwise, how would you sell stuff like the 9200 512MB or such?

    Naming is decided by marketing & marketing likes short sensible names like AMD ATI Radeon HD X39050 XTX Limited Edition Extreme Model Deluxe :roll:

    i'm confused i thought the XTX was the OEM only version, i just bought an XTL, i thought that was the right one because the XTV has half the shader engines and the XTG has twice the clock rate with half the ram. If the XTX isnt OEM only then whats the XTL? If i bought the wrong card im going to be so angry!!11!


    personally i have a simple way to solve the naming confusion, i just go to the store and say to the guy "give me the one that costs way wayyy wayyyyyy too much money"

    actually i just lurk here and learnded it all as the new stuff pops up

    You still end up with the XFX Geforce 8800 Ultra Extreme XXX OC model.
