Ati don't release 3-4 of the same model they simply call it another model even if the die is similiary and size
such as 4850-4870 instead there 512 meg 4870 ! now 1GB 4870 since few month and. as A 1GB edition overclocked (golden sample)
they call it GS for shortname performance are simiary of 4870 1GB but slightyl better in minimum fps

and nvidia are proffeiosnal in screw people ;)
8600GT = 7600GT+5%. 8600 high overclocked is simialry as 7900GS
while 8800GT is having three 7600GT XXX or OCX From bfg edition
And two of them is is a rival to 260GTX if not bette in most of benchmark

For name GS = Great Salad / GT Grand turismo ? /GTS = Gand turismo Special Overclocked ?  / Grand turismo XTREME overclocked!  lol  LE = Light Edition = Lag Edition = Lol not buying it one thing is good they stoped doing LE I think :)
It was good old 5700LE : Light Edition when i saw benchmark i WAS LIKE IT why it Was so not expensive cuz it not good lol

Or you can say Extremly Low Budget Stream For LE p; =&p; good for pentium 4 1.6ghz LE :
Great Salmon (Low Edition For budget user) (GS) or Great (S) w/e you want it to end i don't like Gs
GT = Mainstream : GTs = high ender Streams
. = GTX = Top Line StreamSuch as 260-270-280-290GTX
then you need Overclocking them all of them can be overlcock at home but it rather buy a one already done it with after-market cooler and then see if you can push it deeper then there Overclocking

As long a video card not too hot. i know several people who bough water cooling system for the main reason to cooldown there gpu with a waterblock so they can push the video card to the higher clock like none airflow can since you get like 2.0 / 2.3 / 2.5
Galon per minute but then the water would need to be cold :D it why there D-TEk fusion block / Radiator 120mm black ice

so now you should knwo them and remmeber me ;) LE = rather not approach : GS you must be broke on money ;) GT = Okay.
GTs = If you love perofmrances : GTX if ur in the way to enthusiast

They mean as much as a "Skyline GTR", "ESP 6000 whatever series* guitar, it's just model numbers, surprisingly you got them all in the correct order.

I actually had a question about the amount of difference between the ratings.  I posted a question about laptops and there were many ppl saying that the 9600 GT was a fair bit better than the 9600 GS, is there really that much difference?

yes such as 7600GS in past. in benchmark was 25fps behind 7600GT it was comparalbe to a 7300 not LE
and 7600GT was far stronger look ur self . LE / GS Is horrible performances
