First of all, the relatively old explanation:
Le: suffix used by nvida graphics card model. Full name "limited edition", representing the low-end products in the series. Today, some LE graphics cards are nicknamed "castration cards" or "eunuch cards" because they streamline the assembly line.
ZT:NVIDA is a newly added model, and now there is only one GeForce FX 5900. ZT represents a lower market position than XT, which produces low-end product series.
XT: The most chaotic mode. ATI and NVIDA graphics cards are in use. NVIDA regards it as a low-end model, such as 5900XT and 6800XT.
Gt/pro: suffixes used by NVIDA and ATI for mid-range graphics card models respectively. Representative products are 7600GT, 9600Pro, X800 Pro, etc. The only exception is the newly launched GeForce 6600 GT graphics card, which is the highest-end graphics card in this series for the time being.
Ultra: the top graphics card in NVIDA, similar to "XT" in ATI. The representative products are 6800 Ultra and 5700Ultra.
Second, some systematic explanations:
NVIDIA:
GS is unknown, only knowing that GS is the flagship product of this series.
GT is just one level higher than GS, which is the high-end in this series, and has a little taste of GT in cars.
GTX is the high-end in the high-end, which can generally be understood as GT extreme.
LE means simplified edition, which should be limited edition.
TC, the abbreviation of TurboCache, is a technology of nVidia, which enables Unigraphics cards to enjoy memory like video memory.
There is also Ultra, which stands for the highest end before the GF7 series, but the name of the highest end of the 7 series was changed to GTX.
XT represents the simplest version of NVIDIA's high-end series.
Third, a more detailed explanation of terms:
NVidia's graphics card:
1. Wanta: The literal meaning is unknown. According to nVidia, it represents a simplified version of the corresponding chip. There are only a few times in the TNT era. So I won't introduce it much.
Masterpiece: TNT2 Vanta
2. Professor: You can literally understand the meaning of' strengthening'. As long as it appears, it represents a relatively high-end version of the corresponding chip. Originally in TNT2 series, the last one appeared in Geforce2 series, and now it has almost become ATI's patent.
Masterpieces: TNT2 Pro, Geforce2 Pro
3.Ultra: Literally means "radical and extreme". The same is true for nVidia products. As long as the suffix takes this guy, it must be the most awesome chip. Counting NV Wang, you can basically see its familiar figure. And the pronunciation of this word, many people pronounce it as' ultra' but the actual pronunciation is' altra'.
Masterpieces: TNT 2 ultra, GeForce 2 ultra, GeForce FX 5200 ultra, GeForce FX 5600 ultra, GeForce FX 5700 ultra, GeForce FX 5800 ultra, GeForce FX 5900 ultra, GeForce FX 5950 ultra, GeForce 6800 ultra.
4.MX: Literally, it doesn't mean anything. In NVIDIA's plan, it represents the cheap version, that is, the mass level, and it is only aimed at NVIDIA. Cards with suffixes are estimated to have a high international share.
Masterpieces: geforce 2mx, geforce 2mx 100, geforce 2mx200, geforce 2mx400, geforce 4mx420, geforce 4mx440, geforce 4mx440-8x, geforce 4mx460 and geforce 4mx4000.
5.GTS: Literally, it means "air wheel", which may have nothing to do with NVIDIA's statement. GTS only appeared in the earliest Geforce2 products, representing the highest-end Geforce2 at that time. The performance at that time was terrible. Unfortunately, he is a short-lived hero.
Masterpiece: Geforce2 GTS
6.Ti: Literally, it means the abbreviation of' titanium', that is, the space metal' titanium', and the place where it appears generally represents the high-end version of nVidia. It first appeared in Geforce3, then joined Geforce2 Ti, and finally reached its peak in Geforce4 series. You will never forget that peerless classic-geforce 4ti4200.
Masterpieces: geforce 2ti, geforce 3ti200, geforce 3ti500, geforce 4ti4200, geforce 4ti4400, geforce 4ti4600, Geforce4 Ti4200-8X.
7.XT: This word is very funny, because in nVidia's explanation and ATI's explanation, it is completely opposite and particularly confusing, so I will focus on it. According to NVIDIA, XT should refer to the down-converted version. In ATI's dictionary, it stands for high-end' extreme', so nVidia played a word game for us here to tease ATI.
Masterpieces: geforce FX 5600 XT, geforce FX 5900 XT, geforce 6800 XT.
8. Le: It should mean the next edition. ATI used it, too. I don't know the difference between it and XT, but it feels the same. 5700LE is a product used to compete with ATI's Radeon9550 for the market after the 5700 standard version was discontinued, and its cost performance is relatively high.
Masterpieces: Geforce 6600LE, Geforce 7300LE
9.ZT: The literal meaning is unknown. NVidia used it to promote Doom's works, and reduced the frequency again on the basis of XT to lower the price. If it weren't for 6600 years, its life would be longer, so it can only sigh,' If Yu was born, how could Liang be born'.
Masterpiece: GeforceFX5900ZT
10.GT: The literal meaning is unknown. It is used in NV's latest products, which means that the chip is between the standard version and the Ultra version, belonging to a relatively high-end category. Personally, it is a continuation of the original GTS.
Masterpieces: Geforce6600GT, Geforce7600GT.
1 1.SE: It is also a simplified version, which is only used for Geforce4 series and its down-converted version. Very rare.
Masterpieces: Geforce4 MX440SE, geforce 4ti4800se (8X version 4600)
12 and 6600 series so-called "HD version" explanation;
The so-called HD means "with the help of PureVideo technology, the exclusive programmable video processing engine built in Geforce6 series GPU can accelerate the video playback of MEPG-2 and HD video through hardware, reaching the video quality of 720p and 1080i at home theater level. PureVideo technology adopts high-order video algorithm only available in high-end consumer electronic devices. The main technical characteristics of PureVideo technology are: supporting high-definition video; Hardware-accelerated HD-MEPG2 decoding: Hardware accelerated WMV- HD decoding; High-order dynamic adaptive interleaving: 3:2 folding correction; 3.2 Editing and modification; Extended color support; Gamma correction; Color temperature correction; LCD overdrive; Full resolution video enhancement; New 4-tap horizontal and 5-tap vertical scaling.
In addition, using revolutionary technology, img/PureVideo technology introduced by NVIDIA has solved the typical problem of video playing images, presenting flawless ultra-clear images. Img/PureVideo adopts the most advanced technology to weave, which makes the image clear, and there is no ghosting phenomenon that usually occurs in simple traditional weaving technology. At the same time, the enhanced 3:2 movie mode eliminates the blurring and ghosting often caused by other video processing solutions. In addition, in order to get the best Purevideo video experience, NVIDIA requires the player to install 67.03 Forceware driver, nVIDIA DVD decoder, Windows XP operating system, Windows Media Player 10 player and a processor above 2.4GHz.
Representative: Galaxy 7600GE HD Edition, Galaxy 7900GS HD Edition.
