Well ATI looped around and went back to 1000 numbers, so NVIDIA will
probably manage a similar feat. Considering they never had 1800's
through 3800's, there's enough room for at least 3-4 more generations
and by then the name Geforce could be retired.

Geforce 1800K Ultra < WTF?

What did the 9800XT use again, GDDR3?

To make matters more interesting, some vendors like Asus and MSI made cards
for both camps...
