The problem with Nvidia is that I blinked and the numbers wrapped around, so a GeForce RTX 4070 is really new, but a GeForce FX 5200 is really old.

Same! I still remember the 8800gtx being "current" high end and the 2XX cards being the recently announced space-age new ones.

Then I stuck with AMD for a while (the HD 4870 followed by the R9 390, both were very compelling options from a $/perf standpoint when they were current from what I remember) and by the time NVidia came back on my radar again they'd gone through another whole ~10 generation cycle of 3 digit numbers and were back on the four digit ones again.

Ahem, the same happened with ATI, they just were lucky to have been renamed to AMD on the way.

I wasn't saying they didn't, just recounting my personal trajectory in the GPU model space.

That's a pretty long blink to be fair - there's 20 years(!!!!) gap between the two.

At least the letters changed.

Would you like to buy my Xbox One X Box?
