Nvidia video cards
I’ve been looking at a new video card lately (X-Plane…) And am certain that many people are confused by Nvidia’s product lines of late… Here’s a nutshell idea…. They’re currently using 4 digit product numbers - like 7300, 7800, 8300, etc…. I found this breakdown in zdnets talkback…
how the breakdown works out (just an example as same applies to ati):
home or business card:
nvidia 7100 / 7300 - display to screen onlyhome gaming or business designing:
nvidia 7600 - play dvds and light games at low resolution (diablo2 / couterstrike)gamers:
nvidia 7800 / 7900 / 7950 (single) - play dvds and medium games at medium to full resolution (nfsu2 / bf vietnam)gamers with money:
nvidia 7800 / 7900 / 7950 / 8800 (sli) - play dvds and heavy games at full resolutiontrue gamers (cost is irrelivant)
nvidia 7950 / 8800 (sli / quad sli) plus physx card - do it all without breaking a sweat
It might exaggerate things a bit, but the 7900 video cards would have more horsepower than the 7300 cards /etc….
Here’s another good breakdown on the model number maze.
