GPU 3 Numbers instead of 4?

[rader953]

I know what a gpu spec means when it has 4 number such as 7750 which means it s 7th gen middle to high speed gpu. Does the 3 numbers mean the same thing? Like a 7700 would be 770?

I think you're comparing porcupines to cantaloupes here: AMD uses 4 digit numbers* and Nvidia uses 3 digit numbers. TO compare porcupines to porcupines compare AMD to different AMD or Nvidia to different Nvidia.

Well, until the new R7/R9 branding...

So basically the 3 numbered GPU's are nvidia and the 4 digits are AMD? Because if so that makes a lot more sense.

Yes, for AMD GPUs up to the 7000 series. After that they started an entirely different numbering scheme.

Nvidia used to use 4 digits but after the 9000 series they went to three (200 series, then 400, 500, etc). That was a few years ago. Basically just look for the AMD (Radeon HD) or Nvidia (GeForce) branding in the GPU name. If you want comparisons between all GPUs look at benchmarks,

Thank you this helped out a lot.
