Now now, they are making the life of the consumer difficult but by no way this rebranding is stupid.

If you couldn't produce a worthy competitor, wouldn't you try to confuse the public as much as possible to still get sales? It doesn't matter if you rebrand old products, it matters if people still buy it.

Their probably puling every trick they have to keep their market share afloat untill their next GPU's. And on this point, if the next generation fails to beat ATI, i think we'll see Nvidia beeing bought by intel.

Personally i'm on the verge of buying a new PC. I'm kind of done with ATI drivers (i miss the geforce ti4600 times... never ever had problems with those drivers) but i'm not convinced on Nvidia's product right now, or their business ethics. So i'll probably wind up with a HD4870.

On a side note though, lets not forget that actually making a GPU is still complicated as hell. You can't really hold it against them that they keep rebranding as long as they possibly could.
