nVidia

GS < GT < GTS < GTX

• G or GS - The standard video cards with core clocks that are not high and are made to keep a minimum performance

• GT - Slightly higher core clocks and possibly more onboard memory than the GS, It is mainly a budget performance card

• GTS - Includes possibly more onboard ram and higher than average core clocks possibly more pixel shaders or pipelines to increase performance

• GTX - Has the most memory of the group and higher clocks than all previous also includes more pixel pipelines and usually outperforms the GTS by atleast 10-15 percent
