I know the 4890 is not a generation...I was pointing out that the 4 Series was still being released after the 295 which is opposite of what he was saying. 2 Generations would be the one going on during the 295 launch (4800 series) and the following 5800 series. That is unless you guys don't consider them to be 2 generations. They did just double all the performance numbers (ROPs/TU/Shaders/etc) and stuck to the same architecture, which is why they came out so much earlier than a new design like the GT300.
