1. Is there a benchmark of all nVidia graphic cards and their performances?

2. What do GT/GS/GTS/GTX/GX/GX2/AA4X/AA8X mean?

Thanks :P

1. just bloody google.

2. the last two are amounts of anti alias settings, the rest are meaningless.

GS<GT<GTS<GTX<GX2

never heard of gx, but hey it might be there
aa4x and aa8x is antialiasing on different levels....
antialising makes the mean jagged edges go bye bye...at a performance cost of course

you should really just google this stuff instead of posting it on a forum... you could have easily found the same answer on google in the amount of time it took you to make an account and make this thread

I googled everything and didn't find -_-
"just bloody google" isn't an answer

by the way, I got 8800GT Super (XD) so it means I got GTS?

basically, the more letters there are in a model name, the faster it is :).

They can, but are far more expensive than an equally capable Geforce card.

Is the a benchmark of a Quadro card and a GTX 2xx?

GTX 280 >= 9800GX2 > GTX 260 > 9800GTX > 8800GTS (g92) > 9800GT(8800GT)

Basic run down of current Nvidia line up.

I didn't understand why 9800GT got "(8800GT)" with it..?

(excuse me for my stupid english :P)

Because the 9800gt is basically the same thing as the 8800gt, but with a die shrink.

And this chart might help a little bit if you are wondering about the ranking of cards.

It has a die shrink?

I thought it was exactly the same thing.

I'm not completely sure, but I thought it has a 55nm die.

Although that is from April, so who knows if it's right.
