1,000 credits says this is a leaked lie, or the creator of this ghey (in the words of Johnny ) name will soon lose their job due to lack of consumer enthusiasm.

there's no way they would name it FX. the reason is simple, people will confuse it with MX (unless that's thier plan to boost MX sales)

Oman is far better than FX, Eclipse would have sounded pretty cool. what would the Geforce mx be called? GeforceFX mx?

Uh...I agree..that name is pretty lame.

Why don't they call it something original, like GeForce 5

or how about a BRAND NEW name entirely, based on a Greek or Roman God, or something, or maybe something to do with "rendering" and "architecture" like, Leonardo, or Michaelangelo, or Raphael, or Donatello, or Splinter...I mean...uh...ok maybe not

I would name it after my favorite artiste....Salvador Dali....like the Dali V. How exquisite, how fantasimo.

Or how about a play on words, like AGPerfecto
or how about one of these:

Draconian X
Vid Pig
El Nino del Video
VidKing XL
MorphoPrism 5000 (adding 5000 to anything always makes it a little bit cooler )

Corona (hey, its good beer...)

Vaughlenheigenstuchten (impronouceable....no one will care what its called)

VixenForce (everyone will think of porn - guaranteed to sell at least a few)

Nvidianator (common...why didn't they think of this one yet?)

NvidiotSodimizer (hey, at least its realistic)

ATI Killer (also used as an adjective to describe the NV30)

Colosus, Armegadon, Raptor, Velociforce, Achilles, Lokie, or anything other that something that ENDS IN PART OF THE NAME OF THE COMPANY THEY CRUSHED AND BOUGHT OUT - 3DFX.

How can you complain about anybody's name, when you call yourself "Clarpet"?

This has to be some kind of joke. It sounds like they just combined 3Dfx with GeForce. I thought they would be dropping the name Geforce altogether, but this is just the gheyest (sp? ) name i've ever heard.

Its about time they give credit to the people whom they stole all of their technology from!


EDIT:

No bites? Not even a nible?


I'm going to have to get some better Nvidiot bait for the old Troll Pole!

Wait...I got it...

the GeFunk Z. Now that's cool.

By the way I hope they call it the Omen. Not the Oh Man.

I think Achilles-Z would be a cool name.

Or they could call it the StomponATI'sassAndkickemintheballs

I totally agree: we should get together an email PETITION and stop Nvidia from becoming Nvidiots.

That name is lame and that's all there is to it. I'll still buy one, but man, that's just lame....really lame. Did I mention it was lame?

Who's for it? Maybe we should start a thread and get everyone banded together and in on this. Whoo hoo...let's have a Kue!
