I didn't even think about it, I guess there isn't any rule stating that Nvidia 3xx series cards must all use Fermi architecture. Just like some 2xx series cards are pretty much rebrands of 9xxx series cards.

It looks like a straight rebrand of the G210 to me. No DDR3.
Exact same clocks for everything, same dimensions, and same number of shaders.

I really hate this. Pointless renaming, all it does is confuse things.

i got curious and thought it was a typo until i saw the nvidia link, i think there just trying to hype up the 300 series.. but why name this junk as a 310 is beyond me :S, they better not do any renaming schemes again >.<
in saying that though, nice lil cheap thing so my m8 can play a lil bit of some old classic games and possibly tf2 etc xD
also on the nvidia site it states
http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_family.html
GeForce Products - only available in prebuilt (OEM) systems
300 Series
GeForce 310
and obviously stuff from the 200 and 100 series
its just a gimmik thats all, just updated slightly to handle the latest tech (except dx11)

Leave it to nVidia, the re-branding kings, to produce yet another episode of re-branding.
