Nice, another card to confuse consumers.

I think Nvidia has learned its lesson and is currently in the process of cleaning things up and making it less confusing to tell which card has the most performance. GTS240 -> GTS250 -> GTX260 -> GTX275 -> GTX285 -> GTX295 seems pretty easy to understand to me.

I do not think it will be. Unless Nvidia is stupid.

Except that they won't have GTS240.
Interested to see how GTX275 will turn out, seeing as they skipped right over GTX270/265. Bleh.

Cept... the 295 isnt exactly better than a 285, or even a 260, on games without sli. With sli enabled a pair of 260s or higher still beats a 295. The 9800gx2 beats anything but a 285/295 depending on the game in sli... Noobs will be noobs, unless its idiot proof (which nothing is) people will still be confused.

There are three models of the 260. The 192, 216, and the 55nm.

LOL! no crap its not as fast as a GTX285 when half of the card is not being used

. a single GTX295 core should be faster then the GTX260 though, considering it has the 240 SP of the GTX280 but the rest of a GTX260. my statement still stands minus the GTS240 that will never exist of course.

All of which have been or are being phased out, soon only the GTX260 Core 216 55NM will be available.

This was still the same level of confusion with the 8800gts. The 320, 640, and the 512. The G80's were eventually phased out, to leave just the 512. The 200 naming structure was to change things, but we see it did not. When the 192 got its extra processors it should have been the 265. When it was reduced to 55nm it should have been the 270 or 275. When the 280 was reduced to 55nm it became the 285. Not to mention the 250 being a 9800gtx+, which is a 55nm 9800gtx, which is a 8800gts.

When Nvidia releases good cards, they should not work on changing very small tweaks with them. They should just sell them for cheaper....if we still had the original GTX260, I bet it would be near the prices of <150 by now....and most people would love that?

Is there honestly a big enough performance gap between the GTX 260 Core 216 and GTX 285 to really warrant a new card in between the two?

Unfortunately, its not. I've tested my pair of GTX 260 216 cores in SLI against my GTX295 and the GTX 260's win in every test.

You don't see people complaining about the multiple versions of the xbox360 out.

So by your logic, the original xbox 360 (xenon) would cost around $50 right now because of its poor functionality.

True, but it is the consumer that really benefits.
The card is a combination of 285 and 260; so it could be something some what out of desperation to definitely match the 4890.
