AMD's grafikkortsnamn

6950

6: Serie

950: styrka

At current, ATI names each card by generation, series, and by performance.
The first number is the generation number (e.g. 5000) and is related to the chipset used by the video card.
The second number indicates the series quality in the generation, starting from:
0400 to 0600 at entry level, for media and home theatre,
0700 for low intensity video games (typically using older graphics engines, or widespread games, such as Starcraft and World of Warcraft) or high-intensity games with lowered settings, and
0800 for high-intensity games, such as Crysis or Far Cry 2.
0900 is a special denotation, first used on the Radeon 5970, relating to a dual chip or internal ATI CrossFire card.
The third digit is the relative quality, within a series–a 5850 is less powerful than a 5870. Typically, a card of a higher series will always have more processing power than a card in a lower series, even if the relative quality is better (a 5770 will be outperformed by a 5850).
Since ATI's first DirectX 9-class GPU, the company has followed a naming scheme that relates each product to a market segment.

sen är det ju mycket snurr med hur bra är ett 6950 mote ett 6870.. och ett 5970 eller 5870. Alla är olika bra och bättre än serien som kommer efter. Man kan ju bli bra snurrig.

kan även tillägga, för att vara petig; GTX är inte ett suffix utan prefix - GTX590

Nej, bara 6990. De ändrade sig från förra serien så att 69xx inte längre är exklusivt 2xGPU kort.
