They number their products to give you a general idea of how powerful each card is. Just looking at this, the 7800 is weaker than the 8400 (it's 600 less). litewo

No, you've got it wrong. That only applies provided the first digit is the same between the two cards compared. That digit signifies what series they're a part of, while the three numbers and the letters afterward dictate how powerful each of them are within that series. Each series has different high-end, mid-range, and budget cards. Budget cards never outperform the high-end cards of the previous series.

Oh, and :lol:.
