Most cards below the HD4xxx suck
Most above HD4xxx are awesome

How many times do we have to re-post this?

I'll use the 8800GT as an example.

The first 8 is the generation.
The second 8 (8800) denotes the performance level of the card. It is in the gamer section or designed for enthusiasts.
The next 2 zeros don't mean much in this example.
The suffix, GT/GS/GTX/GTS/GSO/Ultra, etc. means the performance within the performance level, if you get it. For 8800 cards, it's: Ultra > GTX > GTS > GT > GS.

So, a high-performance older card, might be faster than a "mainstream" newer card.

LOL, didn't read it right. Almost the same thing for Radeon cards, just implemented differently.

HD 4xxx is the generation.
HD x8xx is the performance level
HD xx5x is the performance level within the performance level.

Also, you might encounter other suffixes, like Pro and what not.

superweapons, I think he asked for the explanation on ATi cards. Razz
Similarly to NVidia cards, in a radeon 4850, the 4xxx is the line (of course). The x8xx denotes levels of power (3<5<6<8<9). The 30/50/70 is the performance within the technology group (not completely sure about differences here, someone full this in?).
People would consider the 4850, 4870, 4850x2 (crossfire or dual gpu), and 4870x2 (same), high-performance products.

nVidia is on their 10th generation, ATi is on their 14th, just to clear that up. The 9000 series for ATi was several years ago.
