Hello poma,

The chipset didn't disappear and is still displayed: it is the G98 you get on 
the "[    2.483843] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: NVIDIA G98 (098200a2)" line. The 
"NV98" was the "Nouveau" chipset, but the switch was made to use the same 
naming as NVIDIA. So rather than displaying both the Nouveau version of the 
chipset and the NVIDIA one, it make sense to only use one, and to prefer the 
NVIDIA naming. (FYI, files name has been modified to follow the NVIDIA naming 
as well, along with envytools.)

As for the family, it can be easily deduced from the chipset in most cases: 
GMxxx are Maxwell cards, GKxxx are Kepler cards, GFxxx are Fermi cards, GTxxx 
are Tesla cards, and most reasonably, GPxxx will be Pascal cards. NV50, G8x, 
G9x, MCPxx are also Tesla cards. They do not follow the same pattern as newer 
cards and so it might not be as easy to identify their family. But there is the 
wiki page to help for that. 

Regards,
Pierre
