in the time it took ATI to go from 2xxx to 6xxx, nvidia went from 8xxx to 5xx
thats 5 vs 8 generations. even though its only been 4 years?

XS Build Log for: My Latest Custom Case
8 generations?? Maybe 5 if you want to count GT300 series, wich is for OEM's:
8800 series
9800 series
200 series
*300 series*
400 series
And from ATi:
HD2000 series
HD3000 series
HD4000 series
HD5000 series
HD6000 series
IMHO ATi is 1 generation ahead, or at least 6 months ahead.

Actually they're about equal.Originally Posted by Andi64
for the 100 series and 300 series, there where actually some OEM only GPUs being made, like GT 310 or 320
for nvidia it was more like
8800 series
8800 series

9800 series
9800 series
9800 series
9800 series
9800 series

na, i'm just kidding. i don't get why people get so angry about product naming and new generations.
6870 are the same to the 5870 as the 5770 was to the 4870/4890. just because it doesn't follow the x770 naming scheme everyone is going nuts. seriously guys, get a grip!
look at the price/performance and you'll see where these cards belong. there's a good fight between the 6850/6870 and the gtx460/oc'ed in the mainstream gpu market - both, ati and nvidia, offer decent performance for a very good price

I think HD6950 will at least match GTX480 if Cayman is really > Cypress size. Barts gets 5850 performance where Cypress was 30% larger. Granted, Cayman apparently has more changes done to it than Barts, and a bigger memory controller, but even assuming the same efficiencies, Cayman XT should be pushing 5970+ territory. Of course, Antilles is going to be nuts
Yeah, GT 300 series was used for notebooks as well
Most people don't care once they get... well except the trolls and diehard fansna, i'm just kidding. i don't get why people get so angry about product naming and new generations.
