I just saw a "GT100 512mb" in bestbuy while i was computer shopping, what the heck is this card?
 
The real question is, what the hell it was? It is just an older nVidia card renamed into GT100.
 
The fastest card I ever saw best buy sell was\is the gtx 260,they have more online I wish their stores would carry more of the highend cards.
 
I mean seriously, WTF. I don't see a point of rebranding a card that is old. NVIDIA really did run out of brand names really.

OEM companies like Dell and HP ask for this type of stuff because they want to have consistent naming from bottom to top. If you don't have that, you just rename so that people have an idea of which one is better, instead of looking at a 9800GTX vs. an 8800GT vs. a GTX260, etc and being completely confused.
 
So its basically a 9400GT? What are they calling the integrated 9400's then o_O

It'd probably take a while to find since integrated isn't really sold in stores unless it's on a mobo, but it might not have been something that switched since they started at 100 with the 9400GT
 
You'll be able to buy the 3000GT from nvidia soon, along with the nVidia RX-8 and 1992GTO Twin Turbo.

Every time nvidia renames their cards it makes me want to drop the "d" in "cards"
