Albatron Nvidia VGA Cards Bundled with Free EVE Online Playtime
A partnership that is aiming to push the new batch of Albatron Nvidia VGA cards is in the works. For gamers who purchase this new graphics card, free playtime for EVE Online will be rewarded to the new Albatron Nvidia VGA graphics card owner.
“There is nothing that comes close to EVE Online as far galactic-interstellar MMORPGs. It is a futuristic adventure like nothing you’ve seen before, rife with both action and strategy. It will be bundled with most Albatron NVIDIA VGA cards allowing you to download the entire game in minutes. Take a look at the awesome trailers on the DVD, try the game and you’ll be hooked.”
The game will be available with the Albatron cards going all the way back to the 9400GT series. Added to this, gamers will get a free month of play for EVE, totaling $14.95 worth of gameplay. I suppose that’s not that bad a deal. Just seems like EVE coming with a new video card is a slightly underwhelming reason for purchasing a video card.

Nvidia reconsidering GTS 240 re-naming
While ATI went and developed new GPUs, Nvidia has been renaming their line of graphics chips for six months now. Earlier this week, they renamed the 9800 GTX+ to GTS 250, and have been planning on renaming the 9800 GT to GTS 240. However, those plans now seem to be scrapped.
Nvidia originally wanted to “ease confusion” among its products by renaming much of its graphics chips, in reality however, it has only added to the confusion. The 9800 GT, which was supposed to be the GTS 240, has already been renamed once: it was the very successful 8800 GT chip.
Instead, it will still be called the 9800 GT. But in reality it’s the 8800 GT. Confused? So are we.
