Re: 8800gt

as i allways had problems to tell what gfx card is good and what is bad i want to share this:
though it is only for nvidia cards

lets see we have a card named 8800 gt,
the first 8 is describing the chip usually the higher the better
the second 8 is the power of the card here is a higher number always good.
the next two numbers are describing the accessory of the card.
(like tv out of special software package etc.)
the letter addition is the following gs -> gt -> gts -> gtx -> ultra
(slow -> fast)
i am not sure if this also fits with mobility chips.

but perhaps somebody finds this useful...
