Question about video card names

[darkstar845]

How are the names of current video cards related to previous generation video cards in terms of performance?

For example:

gtx 550Ti comparable to gtx 460?
gtx 570 ---- gtx 480?
Radeon 5770 --- Radeon 4870?

Another question, does AMD have more Video cards per generation/series than Nvidia?

It's a little hard to find the 4870 and the 550 ti in a single review, though there are a few out there.

Far Cry 2 is one game where they've reviewed the performance of each video card you mentioned: 550 ti OC, 570, 480, 460 and 5770:
