D9E is for the enthusiast product, D9P is performance like the GT line, and D9M is mainstream. G92 is now called D8P, generation 8 performance.

Thanks I know the code names. I was on about more about the architecture...you know G92+ or new evolution?

Woohoo D9E FTW!

Oh ok, in that case, I'd say more likely G92+, you know, die shrink + higher clocks, and more RAM, a few tweaks here and there, Dx10.1 support, Tri-SLI, etc.

Well there is a evga in Australia now..but i dont know if they follow the same rules as the one in states..i hope it does..but i doubt it..dont think we will find similar support like evga here.
