2. AMD GPU Numbering

3. AMD
• 1st Number
–Generation
–The higher, the newer

4. AMD
• 2nd Number
–Performance Class
–Higher, Higher Performance
–Most Important Digit

5. AMD
• 3rd Number
–Refined Performance Indicator
–Sub-Class, Inner-Class
–Higher, Higher Performance

6. AMD
• 4th Number

–Usually 0

12. nVidia
GS < GT < GTS < GTX
• G or GS - The standard video cards with core clocks that
are not high and are made to keep a minimum
performance
• GT - Slightly higher core clocks and possibly more
onboard memory than the GS, It is mainly a budget
performance card
• GTS - Includes possibly more onboard ram and higher
than average core clocks possibly more pixel shaders or
pipelines to increase performance
• GTX - Has the most memory of the group and higher
clocks than all previous also includes more pixel pipelines
and usually outperforms the GTS by atleast 10-15 percent

13. nVidia
• GeForce GT 420 vs GTX 295
• GT 420 is newer than GTX 295
• GTX 295 is powerful than GT 420
• http://www.hwcompare.com/6794/geforce-gt-420-
vs-geforce-gtx-295/
• http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-295-vs-
GeForce-GT-420

14. M
• M usually used to indicate Mobile
• Used in Notebook Video Controllers

15. Difference: AMD vs nVidia
• AMD uses 3 numbers
– (6670)
• nVidia uses 2 numbers and Letters
– (GT 650)
