Cause I swear to god, nothing pisses me off then trying to figure out what is or isn't a good graphics card in a new computer, with everyone using similar but completely different numbering schemes.  Espiecally annoying when they change numbers for laptops.

For a start, Tom's HW makes a GPU quick comparison chart updated each month:

But yes, for integrated desktop and mobile GPUs often they give the name/number of the whole chipset, while the GPU have different ones.

That... sort of helps... i don't know, still having trouble translating that to these... reqs.

• Graphics: 512 MB ATI 4800 series or better, 512 MB nVidia 9800 series or better

Or just

• Graphics:NVIDIA GeForce 9000 series / ATI Radeon HD 3000 series or greater

For XCOM.
