Go to solution Solved by Briggsy,

R9 = GTX

R7 = GTX/GTS

R5 = GT

 

different tiers really. 7000 series naming scheme is obsolete, but are still relevant because they were designed to be future proof for 4-5 years.

I'm a Nvidia fanboy but I want to be rehearsed on Amd's graphics card's naming. So, how are they named? What's the difference between a r9 and a 7000? 

Read the LTT Beginner's Guide; it's like a guide on how to not be a moron

7000/6000/5000 is the old naming scheme of their cards before they changed the r7/r9 with their newer cards.

4690K // 212 EVO // Z97-PRO // Vengeance 16GB // GTX 770 GTX 970 // MX100 128GB // Toshiba 1TB // Air 540 // HX650

Logitech G502 RGB // Corsair K65 RGB (MX Red)
