I was shopping for a video card this last week. I had to keep a chart with the various video cards and their relative benchmarks up in another window , there is really not much order or logic in their numbering schemes or letter designations.
Nvidia is advancing through the numbers 6200 7600 8800 9800 but they have pros ultras gt gs
ATI did that several years ago and then started over with 800 1500 1950 2600 3850 , it seams like the model numbering schemes whole purpose is to confuse and hide the true performance, sell a 7900 for $400 and then make someone think they are getting a great deal with a "7000 series" card for $125, when in fact the card runs only about 25% as fast as the expensive card.
