It's to confuse the heck out of mere mortals....

   My understanding is the G0X designation is some loose reference to the 
graphics core engine type X. (legacy, fermi, kepler, maxwell, etc..)

   I've always found the wikipedia page much more informative that the nvidia 
site (all cards on one page):

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units

  No correlation to actual product Code-Names, etc... I'm sure there is a real 
reason -- but don't know who those G0X codes were developed by. I just know 
openSUSE has used them for years and you just look up your graphics 
card/engine and cross-reference it to the driver version.
