Well not going to talk about Radeon 8000 series and earlier and Geforce 4 and earlier since all that differentiated between them were either clockspeed or entire architectural changes, no such modularity as now.
But remember when 5600 was worth something, 9600 was sweet, and even entry level 5200 and 6200 were upgrades from a previous gen? 6600 made gaming affordable, 7600 took it further.
Then 8600 was mid range yet significantly slower than 6800 and higher. Well at least the "6" were decently playable until now that 960 is gonna have 128-bit bus, what's this, 2002?
AMD lag worse and for a longer time now, since they used X prefix everything with a number less than 7 was waste of money. X700 was supposed to be mid range but got kicked by 6600. X1950 Pro was mid high end? Jump to today, 7750 was ENTRY LEVEL and their 600 series was APU INTEGRATED GFX.
Did they forget that the numbers 1 to 5 exist?
