The meaning of the various suffix letters of the graphics card you are not familiar with

The most complicated part of the graphics card model should be the English letter after the model number. Because it represents the same graphics core, although the graphics card, the market positioning is different. The most troublesome thing is that the suffix letters used by ATI and NVIDIA are not uniform (and can't be unified), which makes people dazzled. Friends who use the computer must know the function of the video card, but you don't see the number in the graphics card. There will be different letters after the numbers. What do you mean by these letters? What does it mean? For these numbers and The meaning of the letters, we look at the following introduction:

SE: suffix of the ATI graphics card model.

The full name is "Special Edition" (special edition), which also represents the low-end products in the series. Usually the SE suffix graphics card has only 64bit memory interfaces, such as 9200SE, 9550SE, 9600SE, 9800SE (this model has 128 bit and 256 bit), X300SE and so on. Or the number of pixel pipelines is reduced (such as 9800SE).

LE: The suffix of the NVIDA graphics card model.

The full name "Limited Edition" (restricted version) represents the low-end products in the series, currently only used by the GeForce FX 5700.

ZT: NVIDA's newly added model, now only one GeForce FX 5900. ZT represents a lower market position than XT, making the middle and low end of the series.

XT: The most confusing model. Both ATI and NVIDA graphics cards are in use. In terms of ATI, it represents the highest-end products in the series, such as 9600XT, 9800XT, X800XT, X600XT and so on. NVIDA uses it as a low-end model, such as the 5600XT, 5900XT and so on.

Ultra: The top graphics card in the NVIDA graphics card, similar to ATI's XT”. Representative products are 6800 Ultra, 5700Ultra.

GT/Pro: NVIDA and ATI are used as suffixes for mid-range graphics cards. Representative products are 6800GT, 9600Pro, X800 Pro, etc. The only exception is the new GeForce 6600 GT graphics card, which is the highest-end graphics card in the series.

In short, ATI's planned RV670 core graphics products will become their HD 3800 series, while ATI will abandon the GT, XT, and PRO suffixes that are in use, relying entirely on numbers to differentiate between differently positioned products. The higher the number, the better the performance of the graphics card. The advantage is that it is easier to understand and anyone seems to understand.

Through the above introduction, you have already understood the suffix of the graphics card, and then when you see the letters behind the graphics card model, you should clearly understand what it means, how to have someone If you ask, you can answer it very clearly, and it will make you feel very fulfilled.
