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
