i used to be very well informed regarding video cards but honestly since i finished college and started work i havent really kept up with it... so im a little lost.
im currently running a Nvidia 7600 GS
I know it is kinda old by todays standards but im not too sure exactly how much, im very confused by the product naming that ATI and Nvidia use.
Can anyone tell me a brief time line of the so called "generations" ? if im not mistaken nvidia went from 4xxx to 5xxx to 6xxx to 7xxx to 8xxx to 9xxx ?
that seems simple enough , but now i see some gt260 , gt270 etc...
where do these fit in the time line?
and ATI is a bit more confusing with their models too so i dont know where they fit as to compared to Nvidias offerings.
i tried looking for a guide that could easily help me make sense of all this.
