Products
The GeForce 100 series cards include the G100, GT 120, GT 130, GT 140 and GTS 150. The GT 120 is based on the 9500 GT with improved thermal designs, while the GT 130 is based on the 9600 GSO (which itself was a rebadged 8800 GS). The GT 140 is simply a rebadged 9600 GT. The GTS 150 is an OEM version of the GTS 250 with some slight changes.
Despite being based upon previous 9 series cards, the G 100, GT 120, and GT 130 utilize entirely different PCBs and slightly different clock speeds.
