    I know we've known about NVIDIA renaming their notebook GPUs to the naming scheme for quite sometime, and now they have decided to make it official.

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_m_series.html


    Notice the new categories of products: Gaming enthusiast, creative consumer/gamer, mainstream consumer, value, and legacy.

    And yes - the GeForce G105M, the GeForce G110M, and the GeForce GT 130M.

    GeForce G105M - http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_g105m_us.html

    GeForce G110M - http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_g110m_us.html

    GeForce GT 130M - http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_gt_130m_us.html

    Actually, it's nice to see that they've provided playable resolutions.
    The question is, are those accurate? And by playable, do they mean a solid 60 or 30+ fps?

    They are doing that again just renaming gpus?
    Just trying to confuse ppl.
    I think that is really bad marketing over NV.
    They should just keep the 9 series the same and just make
    new gpus to go with the new names.

    Hopefully the GTX 180M and the 170M would have a higher clock speed and more SPs over the 9800M GTX and GT/GTS respectively, or most mobile gaming enthusiasts would be very disappointed.

    they will have something new for high end, as always, not just rebranding.

    I was already joking about this on another forum 8800GTS=9800GTS=GTX160

    One thing that strikes me as sort of funny with the 9800GT being faster then the GTS?!?!

    wow thats really weak. The 9-series was just the 8-series renamed and now so is this.

    People who bought 8800M GTX's when they first came out must be ecstatic. Talk about a long lasting card.

    Not all the 9-series were renamed 8s. Just the 9650M GS, 9500M GS, and 9300M G - the rest are on derivatives of the desktop 9 series.

    It looks like NVIDIA had took off the GeForce 100M series content from their website, realizing their leak. Good thing I caught the screenshot while it was available. :)

    Hopefully they will be able to post individual product details soon, and better yet: new drivers!

    the renaming was leaked weeks ago through the driver information.
